What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

The Alt-TNG theme sounds like something I'd expect from a late-'70s sci-fi show, riding the Star Wars wave like the original Battlestar Galactica, not something that would've come out in the late-'80s. If someone had told me that would've been the Phase II theme, and I didn't know better, I would've believed it.
The Alt-The Voyage Home theme is even more interesting:
I like it... just not for the opening of TVH.
This music makes me think of Archetypal TOS. Coming off of it, you'd expect Kirk and Spock on the Enterprise doing their thing... and TVH opens with the exact opposite of that. Kirk and Spock are on Vulcan, the Enterprise is destroyed, and Spock isn't quite back to being himself yet. Then they head home on a Klingon Bird of Prey, before time-travelling back to 1986.
If they played this music at the end of TVH, right after Kirk says, "Let's see what she's got!" and the Enterprise-A warps out, then that would've been the place to put it.
I never knew that Ice Capades had a Trek themed show.
It's weirdly reminiscent of the end of Star Trek Beyond, which similarly covered the TOS theme.
Making Dr. Bashir genetically engineered might have been a bad decision. It kind of took away his awkwardness and goofiness and made you wonder how much of that was just trying to hide who he really was.
Alexander Siddig certainly agreed.
"Over-thinking" only happens if you're not having any fun while world building anymore.
To that it is irrelevant whether something is a minor or major part of the original work.
Dr. Bashir was a bad decision.
One character I could not stand, outside of his exchanges with Garak.
Dr. Bashir is my favorite DS9 character.
The actor is good looking, but yeah Bashir is not my favourite character. Though he did get a little less annoying as the show progressed (at least sometimes)
Bashir didn't do it for me either, but I did like his bromance with O'Brien. And his character definitely developed over the course of the series.
Way better than that sitcom song we got for the regular show's opening credits. Thank the Maker for Fast Forward.
liked the ENT music theme for the two In A Mirror, Darkly episodes. Very rousing.

Andorians are not a major part of My Trek, so the LUG description works. If they played a larger part I would put more effort into it. Trek is a large enough world setting that you need to put your effort were it is going to count.
"The Way of Kolinahr" is also a very useful book. It gets heavily flavored by "Spock's World" and the old Krath fanzines.
In gaming this is known as "research".
The writers purposefully made Bashir (and Kira) annoying at the beginning, so they could give them something of an arc as the rough spots got sanded down.
I don't really care about any part of Beta Canon, be it novels, comics, fanzines from decades ago or gaming books.
If I need some explanation for something weird in trek, I rather create my own.
Kira never was annoying to me, Bashir on the other hand never stopped being annoying. Towards the end he was just "less annoying" to me.
I like this quite a bit. But I prefer the version they went with.
It's too large. I'll grab anything I can from Anne McCaffery stories, H.Bean Piper, and yes the various RPG books and more to flesh out what I can. Only so much of me to go around and so much more Universe to fill.
What we get from Star Trek is the equivalent of looking at the world through the log books of a US Aircraft Carrier. A very narrow focus. Filmed Trek tells us virtually nothing about the lives of people in the Federation or beyond, or the hundreds of Alien cultures.
Unless you are making Star Trek your JOB, you haven't the time to do it all, and even if you do you haven't the time. I run a four decade old Fantasy campaign as well. It's called time management.
