What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

I think it's quite easy to not get banned from this place. It mystifies me how some do it so quickly.

The gist of it is, be pleasant, apologise when you're out of line and don't be a hateful bigot. It's surely not that tough?

Controversial opinion: Janeway is my favourite captain, largely due to Mulgrew's fantastic acting.

I need to rewatch some Voyager. It's been too long.
 
I like Janeway, 'cause when it's time to have a laugh, she can have a laugh. However, when the shit hits the fan she can be so unrelenting and fierce. She's not a perfect character and it's well documented that various factors resulted in the character not always being written to Mulgrew's satisfaction, but despite that she always gave it her all. Every moment Mulgrew is onscreen I can feel that she just loves being Captain Janeway.

@Lord Garth I'm going to do that right now. I can't remember anything about it or even which season it's in but I can hunt it down.
 
Janeway's hologram is literally accessorized with a cup of coffee. That's its own kind of awesome.

SNW Pike is the best captain.

Kirk is the best TV character captain.

The others are nice too.

(Best Star Trek captains. This should be easy to settle.)
 
Janeway is my favorite captain.

"COUNTERPOINT" is in season 5. It IS a great Janeway episode. Highly recommend watching.

Best STAR TREK captain is easy to settle.

The correct answer is Benjamin Sisko.

Saying who was "best" is impossible, since every starship captain has faced different situations. Some might have done things better than others (there's a good video out there on how the author thinks Picard would have handled the Tuvix situation), or not. I think that we pick our favorites based on how we liked the character, not how good they were at their job. I mean, Kirk had a way of leaving civilizations in chaos and then calling it a day and warping out... but for many, he remains a favorite captain to this day.

My favorite Trek captains are Janeway (because she's warm and caring, but also a complete bad-a**), Sisko (because he's a great father), and Pike (because he's incredibly charismatic). But I'm not saying they're the "best".
