What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

[Phoenix219]

Shatner said goodbye twice. Three years apart. And the jury is way out on if the last one was a good idea. You're not counting the Shatner-verse, are you?

I'm curious about the body in the tube next to the Genesis 2 device.....

 

[at Quark's]

Shatner and Pine are pretty clearly done, though.

The man went into space when he was 90. (Granted, only a short hop, but still). I wouldn't put it past him to reprise the role of an elderly Kirk at age 95 or 100

And in Trek, there's never any guarantee that any character that's dead, stays dead, so that needn't be a serious objection.

(Of course, I don't actually expect to see Shatner-Kirk again either, other than as CGI.)

Picard season 2 is good

We may have a thread winner here!



I thought Picard (the whole series) was bad, but Season 2 is the worst season in Star Trek History.

 

[BillJ]

Tying into the news of today....

I never want to see Jean-Luc Picard, as played by SirPatStew, again.

You're done.

You've already had multiple send offs.

Pack it in.

The only way I would want him to come back, would be for a framing sequence for a Stargazer movie/series about young Picard's time in command. Maybe as a narrator, because Trek really hasn't went down that road before.

Narration unfortunately breaks the fourth wall. Might as well make it a musical. "Stargazer!"

Not too worried. It is all make-believe.

I could support this idea.

Not in that DS9 episode where Worf goes on trial.

And even so, why is it unfortunate?

 

[Grendelsbayne]

Agreed.

 

[Shat Happens]

Picard season 2 is good

Picard S2 occupies a warm place in my trekkie heart because it brought back my favorite character:

Spoiler: it isn't Q

Punk on Bus

 

[TREK_GOD_1]

Indeed.

 

[cooleddie74]

Season 1: mostly good. The ending largely sucked.
Season 2: Good opening, nice final episode. Almost everything in-between was an unmitigated tire fire.
Season 3: dumber than a bag of marital aids but a lot of fanwanky fun and I enjoyed it.

 

[Nerys Myk]

I was meaning Shatner!Kirk and Wesley!Kirk.

Only counts as one.

 

[Macintosh]

My point is that there's three high-profile actors who have played Kirk in multiple episodes/movies. Same with Spock and Uhura now too. But there's only one high-profile actor who has played Picard, or any of the rest of the TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT crew.

Give it time. There will be a new actor playing Picard one day. Might even be French! Such is the way of a franchise.

Luckily Tom Hardy's career survived playing Clone Picard

We'll see. That would require the franchise to lose its obsession with the 2250s/2260s and move on to the 24th century, but I'm certainly not anxious for anyone to try remaking TNG in the way SNW is all but a remake of TOS. Besides, there's no gaps around Picard's command of the Enterprise-D for a similar show to exploit. Setting something in the early 24th century would be preferable to me. Maybe aboard the Enterprise-C? Using the Probert concept as its true design would be in line with redesigning the Constitution-class for SNW. We could see the Stargazer and Picard as a young man.

He played Shinzon, not Picard. And by far the part of Star Trek: Picard I hate the most was that it required me to finally acknowledge that Star Trek: Nemesis really happened...

I'm up for Star Trek: Stargazer set pre-TNG.

I was meaning the Stargazer guest-starring in a show following the Enterprise-C, but you know what, I like the idea. And frankly we have enough Enterprises and prides-of-the-fleet ships. About time we had a show set on a ship that was "an overworked, underpowered vessel, always on the verge of flying apart at the seams"; a ship that survives on its wits rather than its sheer firepower or unique fungus-powered engines...
