What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

[Tallguy]

Believe me as someone who's started the path of patchy and thinning hair if we had a chance to cure it I would.

See how unevolved you are? They are not like that in the 24th century.

It's very disheartening realising your hair is on its way out. Yes there's treatments today that may or may not work or even make it worse, treatments that are very expensive in the long and short term.
It's really a gut punch.
So with that in mind I just have to accept it, buzz cut is the new norm and I own it. Also lots of hats haha

I have been blessed with a full head of hair and I'm actually starting to worry that people will think that I color it. (How's THAT for tempting the fates?)

But I certainly relate. Few things have shook me like having to wear glasses almost a full ten years before Jim Kirk did. (And yes, the first time I needed them to really see something I muttered "Damn" under my breath, unironically.) I miss my perfect eyesight. Where is my Retinax 5?

Yes. In the 23rd century captains can wear a hair piece stigma free lol

Ahhhh, Bill. You should have done The Undiscovered Country without the hairpiece. A bridge too far, I'd expect. They probably had to take one of his horses hostage to get him to go gray.

I researched it. Just didn’t like the idea of the possible side effects, some say hair loss gets worse before it gets better, no guarantee it will work at all for you. Plus these treatments are not cheap here in the uk, and I’ve read even if it does work for you and you stop using them the hair loss returns.
Certainly not going to look into the hair plugs route ..
So I’ve accepted it, purchased hair clippers and owned my new look.

If there was a true miracle cure, no side effects and no financial dependent treatment I’ll go for it lol.
But that’s life, embrace it. If anyone takes the piss I just say Sir Patrick Stewart was considered a sexy man by many and he’s balder than I.

Up to you.

But at least there are 2x FDA approved treatments.

I thought you should know about it before making any final decisions.

Enjoy it! My husband looks more like Ben Franklin every day (especially with his round glasses).

Oh thanks for the info.
Been rocking the buzz cut since 2020 so it’s not a recent development. lol

No Problem, I just thought I can help.

Not everybody knows about the 2x FDA approved treatments.

Half the general populace thinks most hair treatments are "Snake Oil".

But granted alot of them are, but there are some legit ones.

Controversial Opinion:

LaForge was in the right when he slapped Scotty down and I would have done the same.

 

[Kamen Rider Blade]

The ST:TMP Wrist Communicator wasn't a bad idea, but it's execution was "Of it's time".

Given IRL Wearable Smart Watches are a popular thing to some degree, the concept of Wrist Watch simple computers for controlling simple devices could be used in future Trek productions.

Along with a seperate simple watch to keep track of Ship-Board time.

 

[FormerLurker]

We've seen a simple watch to tell time. Kirk was wearing one in TWOK.

That's probably beyond the TNG crew's capabilities. They rely on the computer for everything......location of character most of all, which adds naught to the plot but increases Majel's residuals.

I actually like the Dick Tracy two-way watch more than I do the TMP wrist communicator.

And Beverly was "accidentally" wearing one in Season 1 of TNG, all thanks to Gates McFadden not having removed hers before a scene was shot.

I feel like the Bajorans in DS9 and TNG came off as terrorists / radicals, and I really wish that Dukat was reformed and became some kind of hero at the end of the show instead of going bonkers insane.

 

[Commander Troi]

The Bajorans were terrorists - from the Cardassian point of view. From their own pov, they were freedom fighters.

You can't really reform Hitler.

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

Sure you can, just put him on a quirky team of misfits and send him on fun CIA missions.

 

[Snowdrop82]

I think what the Cardassians went through in the Dominion war did more than enough to reform them.

I just wish he hadn't gone bonkers insane. I think he should have met his fate with his faculties intact
