What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

While I fully admit I can see where Picard and so are coming from, I think a show of Offenhouse or a character like him (found in a cyro sat or so) has the potential to be a great fish-out-of-water series to connect the 21st and 23rd/24th/25th century than anything else could.
Not as detailed/seen.
There's a difference between not wanting plain ships and just having a puzzle tetris assembly on your hull that makes little sense when you think of it for two seconds.
Sheets should align to an internal framework with a skin or second hull underneath. Most Aztecing is just a thousand nebraskas and Massachusettses on a hull, most are ridiculously small and the differences in color verge on them looking like rustbuckets.
The holodeck episodes basically serve a similar purpose as the parallel Earth episodes in TOS. A means of saving budget by not having to create alien looks and costumes, just have everyone play humans dressed in outfits you can acquire from other productions.
When you have a show which is required to do 26 standalone episodes a year, these kind of episodes are essentially a requirement, as a means to an end.
1. Unique premise.
2. Pokes fun at 1980's USA.
3. All the seven main characters get their time in the sun.
4. Spock pinches a punk, mind melds with a whale, and is really bad at swearing.
5. Scotty invents transparent aluminum.
6. McCoy gives an old lady an insta-kidney pill.
7. Kirk says "double dumb a$$ on you!"
8. Whalers go home with no whales and brown stains in their trousers.
9. "Admiral! There be whales here!"
10. The Enterprise is dead... long live the Enterprise.
Voyage Home is another on the list of movies that takes characters from some sci-fi/fantasy setting and put them in today's world. I am usually not a fan of that. Besides, it has too much of recycled plot points from TMP. Final Frontier has its share of problems, but it has at least Goldsmith music and I really like the idea with fake "God".
Wrath of Khan I just dont find that interesting, it's good, but I really prefe I, III and VI, in case of latter two it may has something do to with Klingons - my favourite Trek baddies. And TMP always was and still is my favourite Trek movie.
Roasts them, eh? A singular comment about swearing every other word on the heels of Kirk calling Kruge a bastard or McCoy's use of "son of a bitch" certainly struck me as a roast...
Had they wanted to go that route, DS9 was that sort of show. It had a uniformly strong ensemble, and could have handled something like that.
I would say Ezri is much more different than similar to Jadzia. In addition to what you mentioned, she also had a much different view of Klingons than Jadzia. She was also much more unsure of herself than Jadzia.
I thought so myself. And the later does have some appeal
In SNW, everyone is fair game except for Pike, Uhura, Spock, M'Benga, and Chapel.
I didn't particularly like either Jadzia or Ezri.
Not that I hated them, I just didn't like them that much.

Agreed. Each was not well-developed enough to be interesting.
