What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

I'm not into cars myself, but Baby is very much a character on SUPERNATURAL. She is so much a part of the family that one of the main reasons season 7 is considered the weakest is because Baby was only in the first half dozen episodes and the season finale out of a 23 episode season.

In fact, the season 11 episode "BABY" was shot entirely from the perspective of her. Great episode!
 
That shows how much I know or care about cars.
I own an Impala. That's about the extent of my knowledge or care.

I still don't treat starships as characters. And I still know nothing about Supernatural.

I have to say I enjoyed the TNG movies.
The J.J Abraham's movies were entertaining, but I don't really consider them "cannon". It wasn't really in the spirit of TOS.
If Spock can change the timeline, can someone (please) change it back?
Go back and save the Romulans (like the Federation should have done) and therefore make it unnecessary for Spock to use the red matter?
What the Hell is red matter anyway? Where did Spock or the Federation get it? Do the Romulans or Klingons know about it?

In what way?

Timeline wasn't changed. A new branch of the Prime timeline was created. The Prime timeline is still chugging along.
What the Hell is red matter anyway?
A plot device to create a alternate timeline and to provide a threat for our heroes to counter.

Where did Spock or the Federation get it?
Probably Vulcan.

Do the Romulans or Klingons know about it?
The Romulans must have. And I'm sure the Klingons observed it's deployment. But alas, too late to save Romulus.

There's been a lot of love for the film in the 3D community which I love.

Great work!

Temporal Prime Directive, and all that.

Plus, the lead-up to and demise of Romulus led to the Picard series. Which gave the (surviving) Romulans some much-needed variety in hair styles.

Well, in Final Fantasy Red Mages can use both White and Black Mages and have nice hats. So applying the same principle Red Matter must combine the traits of Dark and uh...NotDark Matter. And wears a nice hat.
It's opposed by Blue Matter that takes on the qualities of things it comes in contact with.

I prefer Blue Matter.
 
But the novels aren't canon, so "Moira" is irrelevant for a discussion about the Enterprise in the shows.
In canon, Zora is the first example in actual canon, unless you want to count that "puppy" A.I. from that one episode of DS9 that was forgotten about by the next episode.
What about the computer personality that was coming on to Kirk in “Tomorrow is Yesterday”?

As others have pointed out that was a one-off gag that never happened in any other episode.
And "Moira" is still 100% irrelevant and non-canon.
 
Ok, I have two.

John Williams (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Superman, etc…) NEEDS to do a Star Trek score before he retires/passes.

I think Enterprise is a good show that needed 3 more seasons. But I’m glad it got canceled before they got to the Romulan War. After the Xindi Arc, the last thing they needed was another dark long term arc.

Well, you just said two virtually opposite things in that one post. So at least one of the two is guaranteed to be controversial.
