What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

Krell/ Great Machine level then…that might help guard against the Q. Stargate had anti-hyperspace Attero devices and the anti-Ori Sangraal.. Have Omega power a combination of those and Trelanes machines…you might just bring a Q down or keep the continuum at bay. The Borg get that, the galaxy is toast.

 

Doc Brown used a lot of these machines and he wasn't a Q or a Trelane.

 

More than that, they were able to stop both the Klingons and Federation dead in their tracks everywhere. I’d say they are right on par with the Q.

Where do the Prophets factor in with all of this. I mean, they have extraordinary powers and exist outside time but is their reach limited to just the Bajoran system and the wormhole.

 

Nope. The Prophets casually hijacked Sisko's mom's entire life (on Earth on the other side of the Federation) just to ensure their Emissary would be born.

 

I was hoping the pah wraiths would stabilize the Barzan wormhole similarly and Empok Nor towed to that bridge to the Delta Quadrant. Dukat then has his own station like Sisko as a base of operations

 

I thought one of the Prophets traveled to earth to possess Sarah. No distance power needed.

 

Did they knock her up too?

 

They never said one way or the other.

 

I totally forgot about that!

Both Wikipedia and Memory Alpha say that Sarah was possessed by one of the Prophets and manipulated into marrying Joseph 2 months after meeting him in order to conceive Benjamin, who was born the next year.

 

So where did that info come from if it's never mentioned in the actual show?

 

It was all mentioned in the show.

Shadows and Symbols:

 

I haven't seen that episode......... I haven't watched all of DS9 except for the pilot and a few odd episodes

 

You're going to have to watch some even ones to balance out.

 

To this day, I think Archer's first reaction when introduced to Grat should have been "Oh, boy."

 

DS9 just doesn't grab me at all. The only episode I remember was the one where they were testing a gun which was like the movie Eraser. The gun in that episode was like the one from that movie. I have no desire to watch all of DS9, as it stands I forced myself to watch all of TNG and found that not a fun experience, bar a few episodes here and there.

 

TNG is very much a series where it is worth doing a lot of skipping. You don't miss much, and avoid a lot of mediocrity or worse. On rewatches I skip more than half the episodes.

It's harder to do that on DS9 with the greater serialisation. I love it, but it's not clicking for you I can certainly understand not wanting to invest that much time in it.

 

At least Trials and Tribble-ations is worth it watch.

 

Metrons? Whatever Rumplestiltskin was in DS9? Naguilum? Caretaker?

 

The Enterprise A is lovely to look at but not practical

 

How so?
