...Someone call?
Doing that leads to the entire plot of a duplicitous and potentially murderous robot in Asimov's short story "Little Lost Robot" though.
What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

Probably because it runs on an entirely different source of energy - one that apparently isn't compatible with building in OFF-switches?
(Inventing nonsense such as 'oh it runs on an energy matrix incompatible with other power sources' just because the writers wanted to tell a holodeck story except the setting didn't erm, 'encourage' holodeck use irks me).
3rd century AD. Vulcan was probably called Romulus and overrun with Romulans.
4th century AD. Romulans started converting into Vulcans. The Vulcans Nuked the Romulans. The Romulans built a fleet and left their home, now a radioactive dust bowl. The abandoned Vulcans left behind renamed their planet Vulcan, and from the intense radioactivity, the Vulcans became telepathic.

Humans would be if they didn't assume judgment from others would come.
Thanks for sharing! I thought the clip was quite funny. Always nice to see Avery too.
I don't think spontaneous holographic sentience is as common as people think. If it were, then the idea of the Doctor programming his own family gets real dark real fast.
Pretty much everything in Trek gets real dark real fast if you think too much about it.
Delete the wife just took a dark turn here.
Tuvix 2.0, baby.
Still wonder if Janeway ever got to answer for some of her more controversial decisions. I don't necessarily mean a court martial or any such thing. Just ... questions asked by Starfleet HQ why she opted for action x in situation y.
Then again, I'm wondering the same thing about, say, Picard. Does Starfleet HQ routinely give feedback on Picard's actions in situations such as in Homeward, with the Boraalans, doomed to die?
Damn. It's a still from Colossus: The Forbin Project.
I didn't care for DS9. Its my least favorite of the pre-Discovery shows. I felt is was a bit too 'preachy' (I only like religion in my scify if its evil LOL). I know a lot of people love that show, so I know its mostly just me, but thats probably THE most controversial.
Oh, and maybe I liked the Mirror Universe Hoshi better. 'Bad girls' are always more interesting than vanilla good girls. Plus, ya know... halfy shirt.

Yeah, that "interesting qualities" line from Spock was horrific. Even Rand's facial expression was like: "What the F is wrong with you, Mr. Spock? Piss off!" Kirk's transporter duplicate tried to rape Rand in her quarters and Spock plays it off with awkward humor.
Arguably the worst moment in Trek history. And I adore TOS with the fire of a million burning stars.

Ya. I was just thinking that by being here I’ve learned of those two false starts/scenes that were then eliminated after second thought. There are probably others.
On H and I they’re back to S1, afterthe last I had seen was “Eden”; now it was Conscience. It’s almost a different show. I love the wordsiness/stage play of those early eps — a number of which have antitechnology asides or plots — but in its attempt to be Playhouse 90-ish that script sure has some “meaningful” lines that are almost nonsensical or non sequitur. I think it was still the GR-rewriting everything era.

For some reason I could see the picture when others couldn't...
I'm glad you cleared it up though. Just searched that and it sounds like an interesting movie. Is there anywhere it can be watched online?
