What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

[Orphalesion]

Stop fighting guys.

All Star Trek movies range from mediocre to terrible, none is actually "good".

And with that I wish a joyeux noël

You are wrong once again, my friend.

TMP is the worst Star Trek movie released.

By a healthy margin, too.

Y'all carbon units need V'Ger.

 

[StarMan]

Enterprise is my least favorite Berman era series, yet it has far more re-watch value than anything of late. If I had to pick something to re-watch from either NuTrek or the Berman era, it's not contest.

Damnit, I would watch These Are The Voyages again before an episode of Picard north of S2E2.

 

[TREK_GOD_1]

The first, absolutely and undoubtedly.

The second, no.

Undoubtedly.

Meh, I still say Nemesis and Insurrection are worse, but I can't fully decide which of the two is the most bad. Nemesis wears its terribleness on its sleeve, but Insurrection lulls you in with a false sense that it might be good.

And a controversial opinion is delivered! Fresh, hot, and in 30 minutes or less or it's half off.

If Insurrection leads you into said false sense of security, then parts of it are good at least. And besides, it doesn't finally make like it's going to give Data the rank and job he's deserved for 12 years... then kill him off. That automatically puts it beyond salvage in my book.

This is definitely true for DISCO and PIC, but not LD, SNW, or PRO.

 

[Tallguy]

TMP is either the best or the second best Star Trek movie ever. And that just depends on time of day / flip of the coin.

 

[Locutus of Bored]

TNG and VOY are better than DS9.

TMP is the worst Star Trek movie released.

You're a funny guy, Digits. I like you.

That's why I'm going to kill you last.

Come on, you guys, it's Christmas.

Just wound him for saying those things.

The best Star Trek show since 2001 is easily Star Trek: Prodigy, a show aimed at children.

Die Hard and Commando might actually make a decent double feature...

Though SNW gives it a run for its money, it's definitely up there in the rankings. Thanks largely to Mulgrew times two.

I mean, why choose between the Janeway bob and the Bun of Steel when you can have both?

 

[Lord Garth]

Star Trek: Prodigy has made me in favor of a Star Trek: Janeway series.

A few years ago, if you told me I'd be into a cartoon aimed at kids and that it would make me go all-in for a Janeway Spin-Off, I'd have asked what the Hell kind of drugs you were on.

 

[Oddish]

Or a Seven spin-off, with Janeway as a supporting character...

 

[Lord Garth]

I don't think they'd make a Seven series with Janeway as a supporting character. It would be like the behind-the-scenes nonsense that went on during the latter-half of VOY all over again. Maybe a guest-star.

 

[Farscape One]

Die Hard and Commando might actually make a decent double feature...

A great double feature, for sure.

An even better one would be the two greatest Christmas movies ever made...

DIE HARD and A CHRISTMAS STORY.

I think TWOK is a great movie.

[I think that about original SW too. Ep IV (ANH?)

Great flicks. Supes 78 too. Joie de vivre, pacing, characters, acting. They all just have “it”. IMHO.]

 

[Rahul]

Unpopular opinion:
"Insurrection" would be an almost perfect movie, if the Ba'ku were more convincing.

It is essentially a smarter version of the original "Avatar".

Imagine the Ba'ku being these blue, cat-like beings, one with the nature, and the entire planet being that underwater-like magical forest, lush, blooming, mysterious, black-light poster environment. Suddenly all the characters' actions make sense.

The movie's main message - "hardship for the many, to protect the life of the few" seems rightful, if "the few" are such a unique, mysterious, exemplary minority worth protecting, and the whole planet the equivalent of a majestic national park. Hell, Avatar 2 straight up steals INS McGuffin!

But alas, instead the Ba'ku are just some boring humans living in a hippie village on some hills, and the whole movie's allegory comes crashing and burning down...
