I'm sorry, Dave.I blame it on HAL.
What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

I don't understand what you're saying.
Personally, I think Austin did the Bond franchise a favor. It showed just how campy the franchise had become (and it paved the way for Daniel Craig's gritty, realistic Bond).
If Berman Trek can be likened to Moore/Brosnan Bond, then Picard can be likened to Danial Craig Bond (dark, edgy, gritty).
The 1960s Casino Royale was a comedy that technically called itself a James Bond movie. Of course I'm exaggerating, since Lower Decks is canon and not 100% parody (and better).
The Orville would have to become way more successful for this comparison to hold.
I'll be that one, then. I have it a bit above season 2 and well above season 3.
It's my favourite first season of any Trek series aside perhaps from TOS.
Same
Brooding and complaining built The TrekBBS. If we get rid of them the board will vanish almost overnight.
Try to be more precise and accurate.
If we get rid of brooding and complaining the Trek BBS will not vanish almost overnight, instead overnight the Trek BBS will almost vanish.

Smartass. 
Well, we can't get rid of that on the BBS either.Smartass.
Nor should we. 
Hee-haw! 
Hee-haw!
That's dumb ass, learn the difference.
Is it just me or could the Ba'ul and Armus be one and the same?
Armus certainly looks sufficiently similar and also has an attitude on him.
I'm thinking before the Ba'ul and the Kelpians reconciled with each other that he disappeared off and crashed on that planet
Sybok was definitely the most interesting antagonist of the movies other than Khan and Chang. As much as I like Kruge, Dr. Soran, the Borg Queen and Nero they just don't stack up to Sybok, Khan and Chang in keeping me interested in their motivations and backgrounds.
I like Sybok in theory. He doesn't always come across as coherent. Chang and Nero are my preferred villains though.
He wasn't coherent, that is the thing. Mad as a Vulcan hatter.
Soran had the potential to be the most sympathetic villain in the film series. The J.M. Dillard novelization of GEN really expands on the trauma he suffered when he lost his family to the Borg and how he was a decent man who was driven to lengths of dangerous, life-threatening desperation to get back inside the Nexus and be reunited with his loved ones. Sadly the film doesn't expand much on Soran's motivations and his origins as a decent person and all we get is the moment or two after Picard reminds him that the Borg killed his family and destroyed the El-Aurian homeworld. That expression Malcolm McDowell gives is the closest we get to the "real" Dr. Soran.
Yeah...it didn't work.
