What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

[HIjol]

I rewatched and loved SNWs The Serene Squall last night, great episode but....

...I'd forgotten the 'pirate' costumes were bloody awful, really took me out of the story It was as if they'd been discovered in a box labelled 'Generic Baddie Outfits From The 90s That Berman Thinks Are Great'.

Ditto for the crap haircuts too. I'm sure not every future space pirate will want to have long punky hair everywhere, will they?

Captain Angel did redeem the episode though, I must say.

The chemistry between cast members in SNW is enjoyable to watch, even if the costumes are not always great!
Your box label name is hilarious; I was trying to come up with an acronym...no dice!

Definitely. And I thought it was an unusually lazy misstep for a show which seems, to me anyway, to nail every aspect of its production.

My wife and I are watching TED LASSO now. Just started last night. I won't have enough time to get to SEVERANCE, though.

I'd actually say it's worth paying for one more month just to see it.

Now you have ME interested!
Though I do not wish to add another Streaming Service, I could also check out Dune...hmmm

Appreciate the suggestion. Pretty good cast list... I've always loved Christopher Walken, and Dichen Lachman was outstanding in DOLLHOUSE. John Turturro is also someone who's been really good any time I see him.

If I do have time after TED LASSO, I'll check it out. If not, I will add SEVERANCE to the watch list when FOUNDATION and FOR ALL MANKIND return. By then, they will likely have a second season up. (Assuming I am able to add Apple TV for a month at that point... I never count on having the same funds in the future.)

To be fair, I think MacGyver once did a medieval episode.

I hope it was a play, or a medieval-themed park or castle, and not a time-machine. MacGyver's good at being inventive, but he's not that inventive!

 

[Farscape One]

Maybe he can MacGyver a stargate...

Controversial Opinion:

Faith of the Heart is by far the greatest Star Trek theme.

The greatest that ever was or will be.

It's growing on me. If I manage to watch ENT at some point, I expect I'll eventually like it.

Full disclosure, I've never seen a single episode of MacGyver, including this one, but from a very brief Google search, it seems to have been a dream induced by being knocked out.

Dichen Lachman was outstanding in DOLLHOUSE

How do you pronounce this woman's name? I've been wondering since the DOLLHOUSE days.

Makes sense. It was the '80s. An entire season of Dallas was dreamed.

I guess that's just about the only way they could do it.

The animated comedy, Archer, spends quite a few seasons spoofing the tropes of Spy-Fi, but it manages to genre hop through several genres in later seasons by putting its lead character in a coma.

That works I guess though because the show is essentially ridiculous and clearly not grounded in any sort of reality to begin with.

Ahhhh yes. The "Gilligan's Island" approach.

They're not ALL "historical documents." Surely, you don't think Gilligan's Island is a...

That's what I thought, but it always helps to ask.
