What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

I didn’t search for Star Trek porn… until today after reading this page.

I just saw something called ‘Granny Nurse Chapel Porn’ and now I need to bleach my eyes.

That's why we're here, to share experiences and learn new things about.... Star Trek.

The bad news is....that's an enema bag. The good news is....that's an enema bag.

There’s a TNG one that’s a fairly good production, which is funny since the usual joke is that most people don’t watch porn for the story.

But you could tell the people who made it are fans and know Star Trek and were using like Memory Alpha deep cut information about the characters in the porno.

I've only ever found bits and pieces of that.
I mean... a friend says he's only ever found bits and pieces of that.

LOL ... April O'Neil who plays Counselor Troi is a huge science-fiction fan, and she's perfect playing Troi.

They had to be accurate…only Trek and maybe Star Wars fans would nitpick information in a porn parody.

 

[at Quark's]

how about Star Trek erotic stories then?

I'd expect those to contain phrases such as 'the pylon's / nacelle's massive girth shocked her ...'

Those have been around since the start.

I believe, though I may be wrong, that the term ‘shipping’ originated within 1970s Star Trek fan writers?

I know for sure they gave (figurative) birth to Mary Sue.

Oh, I don't doubt that for a second. There's rule 34, after all (even though strictly speaking that's about the internet).

Oh, most definitely.

I was writing an RPG character and doing a little anatomy research for a Vulcan character to get wounds and injuries right and stumbled upon fan lore around Spock's penis. Apparently that dates back to the early fanon days.

Penis, Penis, What is Penis?

I know the term "Slash Fiction" originated with K/S back in the day.

We've always been a sick bunch!

Wesley was obviously supposed to draw in young viewers, but when I first watched Trek, I must have been some 10-12 years old yet I didn't care about Wesley. I only cared about the adults and the aliens on the show and was annoyed whenever anything was about Wes. I don't know if this is representative for most young TNG viewers, but it's probably not a good sign if even the target demographic doesn't want to see him.

That said, I believe the Wesley hate is at least in part him being a lightning rod for TNG S1 hate. Because he played prominent parts in infamous episodes like The Naked Now and Justice, so that's possibly what many associate him most with.

I didn't mind Wesley nearly so much after he was based off the ship and no longer appearing in Every Single Episode even where there was nothing particularly appropriate for him to do.

Controversial….

Time travel and alt universes have been done TO DEATH!
It’s the mark of a sloppy writer out of creative ideas.

Unless you’re writing for doctor who… let time travel die!

Time travel isn't necessarily a horrible basis for an episode, but there has to be more to the episode than that for it to be any good.

He actually was in the background more then people think, and really wasn't the focal point or barely appearing in most episodes. I was really surprised on a rewatch. The legend doesn't quite live up the the reality, like Kirk's womanizing.

But in TOS Mr. Leslie was in more than 50 episodes.

Leslie is truly the MVP of all Star Trek supporting characters.

Morn, with his 96 appearances on DS9 and being instrumental in getting information to Sisko in time to stop the Dominion from winning the war, has entered the MVP conversation.

I was about to say Leslie talks....but he rarely does.
