The Defiant is still the best looking ship.
What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

Cool. Looking forward to it, as I plan to watch TAS after my TOS rewatch. I probably haven't seen TAS since it originally aired.
Compared to... an 87 Chevy maybe?
Honestly if Serenity didn't exist, the Defiant might be my favorite fictional space ship.

Agreed, and those that pretend to speak for all fans, or use statements such as 'Star Trek is ...' instead of 'I think Star Trek should' are simply a vocal minority - I don't even think we hear most fans that much.
It's very much like how election results usually turn out surprisingly moderate and conventional compared to the things people write on message boards about 'people will awaken' and 'THIS election they'll find out they've gone too far and we'll have a reckoning!' and whatnot. If I had to believe those, my country would have been ruled by far more extremist parties than they actually were over the last 25 years.
Trek was created for the small screen and TMP didn't translate well to the big screen. In my opinion it was a poorly conceived story line, totally disregarded voyager's sister probe and the big reveal was "I want to call home" TMP's saving grace is that it was Trek after a dry decade plus of No Trek.There are even MODS of popular and bustling message boards that are "supposedly" about STAR TREK that don't like Star Trek: The Motion Picture! faints
4 years of no Trek.
TAS would like a word.

They are silly mods and not worthy of our respect...
Damn skippy. (Especially One of Planets is Missing.)
Love the sinner, hate the sin.They are silly mods and not worthy of our respect...
Someone find that Chris Pratt grinning "Ohhh NOOOO!" gif.
The Picard family aren't authentically French, they are part of the settlers who repopulated France after it suffered massive damage and extreme depopulation in World War III. This is why they speak English as their first language. It's also why Paris is being constantly remodelled, because nothing in the city is authentic, even the Eiffel Tower is an imitation which is why it seems to have moved several times between the 23rd and 24th centuries.
The Picards were probably well-meaning Yorkshiremen who are now cosplaying vintners, gifted the vineyards due to some tenuous family connection, which not only explains the accents, but also why the vineyard was abandoned for hundreds of years, and crucially why the wine is so bad, because they have no idea what they're doing.
The reason Robert and Renee died in a fire is due to the actions of the Armée de Libération pour une France Authentique (ALFA), a domestic terrorist organisation who wish to banish these interlopers from their ancestral lands.

Also, didn't TNG at one point explicitly talk about one of Picard's direct ancestors having a significant career in the French military pre-20th century?
Well there was a Picard at Trafalgar. They didn't say on which side.
No but they showed a picture. Not wearing and English uniform iirc.Well there was a Picard at Trafalgar. They didn't say on which side.
Has there been this much strain over why Khan Noonien Singh was played by a Mexican?
