What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

To everyone who says Discovery is a complete failure and not responsible for Trek's current era of shows, here's a Paramount+ promo that literally and repeatedly says Picard and SNW wouldn't exist if not for Discovery.

I would be fine with that.
 
According to my wife, the worst series of Star Trek is Deep Space Nine.

She's yet to watch Voyager onwards but she can't stand DS9 or the majority of the characters.
Mileage varies, it’s taken several rewatches for hubs and I to enjoy DS9; I like it more than he does. Glad she’s watching!

Interesting how they amalgamated many rankings from various fan ratings and combined them.

I guess everybody's personal rankings will vary drastically cause mines would look a bit different from this ranking as well.

That's the beauty of fandom, everybody has their own personal rankings, but to see what the averaged out fan rankings turns out to be is interesting in itself.

I'm not going to diss any Trek as outright bad, but VOY above TOS?
 
So, I guess Popcast isn't made up of Niners. Weren't they the ones pushing PIC Season 3 the hardest? Or am I confusing them with someone else?

It's a averaging of many fan sources, so take that for what is.

Many folks haven't watched TOS, myself included.

What's interesting is how close in points certain shows are to each other:

On the Global Average fan ranking:
TNG is #1 by a good margin with a 1156 point gap between it and the #2 spot

As for the #2 & #3 spots:
A 69 point gap between #2 spot of DS9 & #3 spot of TOS means that if you find other fan sites to average in points, that spot could really change.
So effectively DS9 & TOS could swap pole positions pretty easily and are effectively equal.

For the #4 & #5 spots:
The 964 point gap between VOY & SNW is interesting.
Over time, that could change as more people watch SNW with SNW equalling or surpassing VOY in popularity.

So 6th - 9th place is actually a very heated race
LDS, PIC, ENT, & DIS all being in the 7000's means that things can easily shift over time or have different fan sources added to the average could shift their rankings.

PRO & TAS are on their own little Islands in the aft end of the rankings.

My reading of the Global Ranking: They can't rate a Star Trek series that came out in the 21st Century above a Star Trek series that came out in the 20th. Excluding TAS. Otherwise, they would've rated SNW higher.

My reading of the Popcast Ranking: If SNW looked like "The Cage", they would've rated it higher. And if not for the third season, they'd be rating PIC with DSC.

This is judging by where both put everything else.

Or that most Trek fans trend to be "Older" and have more experience with "Older Shows".

The newer shows haven't had enough time & episodes to come in to match the "Older Shows" yet.

SNW is taking that lead very well and with time, can probably surpass VOY.
 
You left out the quote. O'Brien states that he blames the Cardassians present at the time, and all Cardassians by association, for his having to kill to defend the Federation colony, something he had never wanted to do.

I do not think the word "pragmatic" means what you think it means.
 
I'm honestly surprised ENT ranked so relatively high but given the show's small renaissance in streaming I'm glad it didn't end up in the bottom spot or runner-up.
