What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

[Weyoun 251]

Or Sir Mix-a-lot.

Sir Veaux...

My super contraversial opinion...

Picard season 3 is bad, like offensively bad. I de-headcanonise it like a 10-hour TATV.

I think that's the opposite of a Controversial Opinion here.

I like Picard Season 3, in part, because it gave Generations and Nemesis the middle finger.

Damn. That's impressive.

 

[FormerLurker]

800 pages of this shit!

How many pages ago was it that I said "if it isn't already, this will soon be the second longest thread on the entire forum"?

 

[Farscape One]

This is the second longest?! I shudder to think how many pages, but I'm going to ask this anyway.

What's the longest thread?

 

[JesterFace]

What's the longest thread?

The one where people try to find out what is the longest thread?

 

[Macintosh]

What's the longest thread?

I believe it's the "List only! Last Star Trek Episode You Watched" thread. Now well over 1000 pages long.

Is that controversial, though? I honestly don't know.

Meanwhile, I like all of it. But this is coming from the person who will defend the VOY salamander episode, so ... take that for what it's worth.

I think that may be a controversial opinion.

I also loved PICARD season 3.

And I also defend "THRESHOLD"... at least, everything in the episode before The Doctor's explanation. It was a solid episode up until that point... great body horror and character beats for Tom.

Double letters. After X, Y, and Z is AA, BB, CC, and so on. Then, after ZZ, it goes to AAA.

So the Enterprise-AAA will tow broken starships, we only talk about the Enterprise-KKK in the TNZ Forum, and I'd love to show you the Enterprise-XXX but then I'd get warned by the moderators.

The standard progression using double letters is:

After X, Y, Z, comes AA, AB, AC,..., AX, AY, AZ, then BA, BB, BC, etc. It's rather like numerals, except with letters. Whatever system you're using (did you get it from Microsoft Word??) is extremely wasteful.

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

There are two levels of famous or honorable starships: simple namesaking (ships with the same name and different numbers) and legendary status (ships with the same name and a lettered number).

 

[MikHutch]

The interactions between the characters for feels.

For the aesthetic, I just think the 1960s has aged better than the 1980s. Retro-futurism vs. Beige, pastels and yet more beige.

YMMV.

But the 60s was also full of hokey dialogue and odd pronunciations that wouldn't fly in the 80s or today

"In a pig's eye!"


And I still say it.

 

[cooleddie74]

"That is Now! Like, REAL NOW!!"

 

[Farscape One]

"In a pig's eye!"


And I still say it.

Sometimes I use it, too.

(Though I have also, occasionally, responded to my wife asking if I want bacon on something by saying, "In a pig's eye!" She understands, in that scenario and with my smile, that the phrase really means, "You're seriously asking me that and expect a reply other than 'yes'?")

Independent Film. When we'd run out of letters on a slate, we'd go to double-letters.

Mr. T's favorite Enterprise is the BA.

"I pity the Space Fool!"

"I ain't getting in no Transporter!"

 

[Farscape One]

"I pity the Space Fool!"

"I ain't getting in no Transporter!"

Mr. T heads to a theater to watch STV. Reporters ask if he has any predictions about the movie.

Mr. T: "Pain..."

Maybe one of the most unbelievable aspects of Star Trek is the idea that the bureaucrats would leave the NCC-xxx... numbering system in place for more than a century without changing it.
