What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

Spock delivers some extended narration in "The Cloud Minders." It seems to be an inner monologue of his thoughts while he meditates, not a reading of any log entry [http://www.chakoteya.net/StarTrek/74.htm]:

This troubled planet is a place of the most violent contrasts. Those who receive the rewards are totally separated from those who shoulder the burdens. It is not a wise leadership. Here on Stratos, everything is incomparably beautiful and pleasant. The High Advisor's charming daughter Droxine, particularly so. The name Droxine seems appropriate for her. I wonder, can she retain such purity and sweetness of mind and be aware of the life of the people on the surface of the planet? There, the harsh life in the mines is instilling the people with a bitter hatred. The young girl who led the attack against us when we beamed down was filled with the violence of desperation. If the lovely Droxine knew of the young miner's misery, I wonder how the knowledge would affect her.

We've been over that one already. No. I posted the screen grab of him NOT looking directly into the camera.
I think it's perfectly acceptable for people new to Star Trek, as in those watching the shows produced in the last few years, to never watch any of the earlier shows or movies.
I know the gatekeepery type will find that controversial but in all honesty, if they're watching it now, enjoying it now and supporting it now does it really matter if they've never heard of Gene Coon or Lee Conway?

I have watched Star Trek for over 50 years without once hearing of Lee Conway.
Lee Cronin, maybe?
Is he that dude in all the Family Guy cutaways?
WE NEED A DISTRACTION.
What were you trying to write, sweetie?
Perhaps meaning James L. Conway, the guy who directed 20 episodes of TNG, DS9, VOY, and ENT? (I have no idea what his middle name is. Maybe it is Lee?)
That scene in The Voyage Home where Lee Conway breaks a pool cue in half and threatens to "show you what it's all about, Kirk, you dig?" over that argument they have about Jane Wiedlin (which is totally meta cause she's in the movie earlier, too) and then Chekhov draws a saturday night special from the back of his bugle-boys and straight up shoots Lee Conway right through bridge of his nose while saying callmly, "Зачет " was just so badass that I wish they would have let it in, even if the post-murder threesome scene between Wiedlin, Koenig, and Bob Eubanks was both in poor taste, inexplicable and would have given the movie an NC-17 rating, it remains the last scene with Lee Conway, and was a poor exit for him after all he'd done for Star Trek.
I'm assuming this:
Gene Coon's pen name. It's what he wrote under after he had "left" the show.
I would have cut @Coops more slack but I spent time actually looking up Lee Conway thinking I'd have to turn in my nerd card.
What are you smoking, dude?
I didn't know Gene used a pen name! See, I've learned something today!I'm assuming this:

I looked up "Lee Conway" too (same thinking) and all I found was a country singer and James L. Conway (as @Farscape One mentioned above).
a lotWhat are you smoking, dude?
I'm a bit more of an old school fan who doesn't particularly love the new stuff, save for Picard S3, but I agree with this.
I don't really understand it, but there's nothing wrong with it. If I like something, I want to explore every part of it... it's alien to me to just say "meh, i'm good with just this." Even with something like TOS... i'm 39, very much a 90's kid, I grew up with DS9 and Voyager. I still needed to see everything and went back to watch TOS, and I absolutely love it.
