What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

[dmac]

1) True but also 2) if they can block phasers they can certainly block whatever energy it takes to transport someone. So as with almost all things Borg it would work once.

Now why they didn't beam over with some really high yield photon torpedoey thing because the Borg "don't consider you a threat", I don't know. If you get one or two freebies (EVERY time!) you might as well make it a good one.

"Hmmmm. These non-Borg keep appearing on our ships." "Ignore them, they are no threat." "You know, the last time we said that they blew up a bunch of stuff." "This time it will be different." "We said that last time." "Resistance is futile." "Just by chance, did we save any records of adaptations we made from the last time we ran into these clowns? Like, to phaser fire or anything?" "Resistance is futile." "Technological distinctiveness my ass." "What?" "Nothing. Futile. Blah blah blah."

If in Scotty's time they could transport 2 whales and a large volume of water.
Lt. Commander La Forge should be able to transport a room full of borg and the space around them where ever he wants to send them.
Fiction is only limited by fictional canon of which some non believer human types categorize as make believe.
So who wants to see Superman vs the Borg? lol

Oooh! Could replicators create kryptonite?

 

[Kamen Rider Blade]

That move only worked on a Borg probe, which destroyed it.

That won't work on a cube, or even a sphere.

So you're saying need multiple bombs beamed in simultaneously, and big bombs as well with enough yield to take out a cube / sphere.

Oooh! Could replicators create kryptonite?

That's assuming they know what Kryptonite is.

If that were possible, sure. But the amount of bombs needed is likely far more than what Voyager had the capability to make in any meaningful amount of time.

I was thinking of beyond Voyager, other StarFleet StarShips that encounter "The Borg".

Ah, okay. But that all hinges on the Borg ships not having shielda up. Besides, using the example from "DARK FRONTIER", Voyager still had to fight them a bit and disrupt their shields before they could beam over the torpedo. Doing that to a cube... you need a fleet of ships to come close to being able to do that trick.

But at least there's a game plan to pull that trick off with the entire fleet participating.
You only need a open window for a few seconds, than KA-BOOM!

Every ship in the fleet beam over as many bombs as possible to all detonate a few seconds after beaming in. Also have Transporter Jammers that activate upon Re-Materialization the first time and have booby traps for any Borg that would try to dis-arm the bombs.

 

[Farscape One]

You forget that you can't beam while shields are up. I don't see Starfleet ships lowering their shields for a second with the Borg around.

(Which was also something that seemed odd in "DARK FRONTIER".)

On the basis that beaming tends to involve a "straight line" to an extent I wonder if it is possible (certainly with newer ships) to only drop an area with direct line of sight (some sort of 24th century IR) to the target so it reduces risk?

 

[Enterprise is Great]

I think that Star Trek 5 and Nemesis are enjoyable movies. There aren’t great movies by any stretch.

I love most of Voyager. Enterprise is very good and underrated.

Discovery is my favorite post Enterprise series.

 

[dmac]

Only if it's filmed in Pandemic - VISION and the only way to save the refugees from Krypton is a Borg injection.

 

[Richard S. Ta]

I could sit through any Star Trek movie. I don't like all of them, but I can enjoy them. Insurrection is enjoyable if I'm in the right mood for it.

 

[Guy Gardener]

In TOS, Kirk allowed drinking on duty.

His entire crew was half cut the whole time.

 

[1001001]

Me too, except for TMP.

 

[Richard S. Ta]

I admire TMP more for what it's trying to be, rather than what it actually is. I like that it doesn't exactly fit with what came before or what comes after. It's a window into what Star Trek: Phase II might have looked like, so it's kind of worth it for me on that basis alone. It's a curio for sure, but it's the only time we get to see Roddenberry's idea of Star Trek unfiltered on a cinema screen.

For better or worse, in the whole of Star Trek I think there's nothing else quite like it.

I agree with you that it's not the best of them, but there's a lot to see in there that's never seen again.

 

[Macintosh]

I love TMP, it's genuinely one of my favourites

However, there's a very real possibility that I'll never watch The Final Frontier or Nemesis ever again. Not even for money.

For better or worse there is no Star Trek TV show or movie that I will never see again.

Star Trek IV is overrated. Very good but not as good as it’s reputation.

The very worst I could sit through again, just to see if it is as bad as I remember it being. Again.

The humor feels corny to me nowadays.
