What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

Who or what is Grat?
To coin a phrase, "Oh, boy."
Rather a pity that there's no "LMGTFY" for Memory Alpha.

From Memory Alpha:
Colonel Grat was a Tandaran military officer in charge of Detention Complex 26, a prison on a moon in Tandaran space, where dozens of innocent Suliban were held during the Tandarans' conflict with the Cabal.
More to the point, Grat (from ENT:"Detained") was played by Dean Stockwell, Scott Bakula's old co-star from Quantum Leap.
 
Not sure how I would've felt about it...

My favorite fan theory is still the one that Janeway secretly had it in for Harry. It just explains so much...

Maybe Janeway likes younger men, she did carry children with Tom Paris when they got Salamanderized.

And Chakotay and the others didn't bother to recover the baby Salamanders to be De-Evolved back to being human.

And Janeway at that time was quite beautiful, I wouldn't be surprised if Harry was her side fling.

All those lonely nights on VOY, and Chakotay wasn't there to keep her company in bed.

Harry could've been Janeway's secret "Friends with Benefits" on the down low.

Janeway did hand-pick Harry to be a Senior Staff member & "Chief of Ops" straight out of StarFleet Academy and part of the Senior Staff, you don't do that with just anybody.

And she could've been disappointed/jealous that Harry fell in love with that one Alien girl on that Varro Generational Ship.

Janeway knows what could happen if word gets out that she's having sexual relations with a direct subordinate, so things gotta be kept quiet and Harry can be surprisingly good about keeping secrets.

I've seen women ardently defending shaving their underarms and wearing spike heels, too. I can't decide if they're brainwashed or if they actually like doing those things.
I never understood spikey heels? They just seem like bad fundamental design and are prone to break while Platform shoes are more sturdy and reliable and can do the exact same thing as spiked heels.

Why buy any shoe that is more likely to easily break and twist your ankle?

Ladies, help me out here? Am I crazy?

More cubic volume is available in a sphere than a disk.
Also more unnecesary vertical travel.

Spherical ships sound neat......... just have gravity shafts instead of turbolifts problem solved

The Gundam franchise regulary implements this with moving hand rails attached to the walls that tug a user around a Zero-G Hallways.

I wonder if Star Trek would ever want to implement it.

Not that I remember. They seemed to get around pretty well on their own.

Platform shoes are flat. They don't round the calves the way heels do, and are less attractive. I say this as a guy.

There are "High Heeled" Platform shoes where the toes are equally angled downwards at a steep angle, but the only difference is the structure of the back part of the heel is a nice giant solid chunk of shoe insead of a spindly point that is prone to breakage.

From the front, they look exactly the same, it's from the sides and back that they look different, but structurally, they are superior.
 
If Star Trek could complain about itself, it'd never leave the house.
