What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

[CorporalCaptain]

Lorca gave Stamets a verbal smackdown once or twice also. Stamets in fairness, didn't seem to understand what he was buying into when he accepted an officer's commission in exchange for getting his project funded. He should have held off for a sweet non-uniform gig like Carol Marcus an Son got.

They seemed to wear uniforms and insignia. And the badges were similar to what Gillian Taylor wore at the end of STIV.

I would propose that Carol's team were members of a Federation uniformed service that exists alongside Starfleet. It would put the soldier vs scientist references in TWOK into the context of interagency rivalry.

Then what changed between the 23rd & 24th century that the "Poster Boy" for StarFleet Captains gets to give out a answer that is so different from his predecessor?

Sheer fucking hubris.

 

[BillJ]

I wonder what Picard’s thoughts about Starfleet would be after Wolf 359?

 

[Kamen Rider Blade]

Sheer fucking hubris.

That's the end of the 24th Century and right before the start of the 25th Century.

We're talking about the "Golden Age" of StarFleet in the 24th century

Aren't they wearing Starfleet hand me downs?

Same guy, same sheer fucking hubris.

 

[Kamen Rider Blade]

Same guy, same sheer fucking hubris.

So much so, that StarFleet gives him Captaincy of the FlagShip of the Federation for over a decade once you count the Enterprise-D to Enterprise-E.

that would make sense. I just remember that David in particular was upset at having to work with Starfleet.

DAVID I knew it! I knew it! All along the military has wanted to get their hands on this

David was a well educated researcher. He clearly believes Starfleet is military, and he works with them more closely than your average citizen.

 

[CorporalClegg]

There's no excuse for him to not know if StarFleet is a Military or Isn't one.

Spoiler: Star Trek TNG -- Starfleet Is Not the Military

Cool. Now explain James R. Kirk.

Or how a super intelligent dude from the 90s couldn't understand space has three dimensions?

At the end of the day its a throw away line that serves to move the narrative forward.

On the other hand, the evidence supporting Starfleet = military is overwhelming.

He's also a pretty good captain.

Starfleet Corps of Engineers were so pissed off about having to tunnel Regula 1 for months for the eggheads they programmed the clothing replicators to just print out TMP onesies in revenge before they left.

Then told him to go fuck himself in 2401.

Starfleet-issue Spellcheck software sucks.

 

[Kamen Rider Blade]

Cool. Now explain James R. Kirk.

Who's James R. Kirk?

One of James T. Kirk's cousins?

Or how a super intelligent dude from the 90s couldn't understand space has three dimensions?

Kirk operates in 3D space all the time.

Most of the battles that Khan has faught have been on land generally.

Knowing space is 3D and having enough experience to instinctively operate in it through countless decades of experience is a different thing.

At the end of the day its a throw away line that serves to move the narrative forward.

On the other hand, the evidence supporting Starfleet = military is overwhelming.

I'm not saying it isn't a Military, I'm calling it a "Hybrid Service" because it does more than that.

Calling StarFleet a "Hybrid Service" = Military + More things.

Hell, they told Picard to go F himself in 2399, before the 24th century even ended. Admiral Clancy planted her service boot right up his backside before other high-ranking officers even got around to putting him in his place.

How Gary Mitchell inscribed Kirk's would-be tombstone on Delta Vega.
