What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

[Farscape One]

If there were never a time travel story again in Trek, I would jump for joy,

I would like this post in an infinite time loop, if I could.

That would be the best news.

I'm of the opinion that nothing should be taken off the table. Even time loops.

I may defy our concept of logic, but in the Star Trek universe at least a time loop is perfectly possible. We have the words of the space/time doughnut itself in that regard!

GUARDIAN: I am my own beginning, my own ending.
SPOCK: I see no reason for answers to be couched in riddles.
GUARDIAN: I answer as simply as your level of understanding makes possible.​

Plus, doughnuts are circular!

I love time travel stories!

I know I often feel like time passes a fraction of its normal rate when I watch certain episodes or films.

I only get that when I watch Disney's The Black Hole.

What about long Johns?

What about long Johns?

The never wrong repository and arbiter of all knowledge, always, Wikipedia, sez [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_John_(doughnut)]:

The Long John is a bar-shaped, yeast risen[1] pastry like a doughnut....​

Not a doughnut.

In case you haven't noticed, the TNG/DS9 Brigade, which is what I'm talking about, goes after all other Star Trek and thinks it should be like TNG/DS9. Anything different, in their eyes, is inferior. Anything outside of the 1989-1999 range is either "that old stuff!" or "that new stuff!"

Try bringing up TOS in an argument and it's rejected out-of-hand. Except when it comes to Canon. Then suddenly TOS is the "Sacredness of Holies". Which leads me to the conclusion that they don't enjoy it as a show, they just dust it off to use as a weapon in a Canon War and nothing else. Talk about it in any other context besides canon and you get, "You're talking about a show from the 1960s!" They don't actually like TOS as an actual show. They might claim to, but they do not.

Straw man stating funhouse mirror versions of what DS9 fans believe and what TOS fans believe.

Lord Garth pissed off about something and taking it out on here a few weeks ago. I've moved passed it. Anyone who spends enough time here will eventually realize I'm bi-polar and prone to serious mood swings. Especially if someone had intentionally or unintentionally managed to hit just exactly the wrong nerve. I'm not justifying it, just explaining it.

Right now, I'm not where I was at the time I made that post. So we don't need to dredge this up again. Let it stay on some previous page where it belongs. Thanks.

And technically the coffee cup you dunk it in is also a torus, albeit a highly distorted one.

Donuts to me the same batter the yeast donuts are made from.

Maybe the Long John is the Tipler cylinder.

I believe the problem with TT stories are the attempts to make sense of them. Both Dr. Who and Janeway has warned us about overthinking TT stories. Watch and forget. No dwelling cause that road only leads to timey-wimey despair.

The Doctor and Janeway have never met fandom.
