What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

If you want to do this stuff professionally, you have to be more open to other people’s ideas. No one is interested in people who can’t collaborate.
We've already gone through this is StarFleet Military or Something Else argument for many pages.
I'm really just ready to move on at this point since nobody is going to change each others minds on the subject.
 
So...

...

Did we ever decide if Starfleet was a military?

actually an interesting question. there was one of the novels that had it pretty much be the third. because the author approached it from the angle that any hybrid of alien and human would require a LOT of intervention, no matter how close they are, so a great deal of his DNA is from niether and actually completely artificial

but then of course in trek as a whole, it's pretty soft on this and it just kind of happens, with maybe some difference in length of gestation...

Also, many hybrids are often sterile, so I guess it'd be harder but not impossible for resulting hybrids to produce enough children to ensure future generations of them from the same lineage.
 
poor guy was probably just grooving to some Donna Summer, letting a healthy application of Brut 33 do the work with the ladies and enjoying his 3rd Harvey Wallbanger when the starfleet types burst into 54 and took him away.
If I remember correctly, the behind-the-scenes idea was that he had become some sort of hermit, or a veterinarian. So he wasn't even at a party; those are his normal clothes to live in a cabin in the woods...

McCoy's clothes in the next movies are a major improvement, though. Unlike poor Chekov and his pink pajamas.

No way Bones wasn’t partying with that medallion around his neck. :lol:
 
That's true of all US Navy personnel on a vessel.
That's seperate from real long term fixes.
the same in starfleet. they go to spacedock if they get whammed too hard.

Galaxy Class was under-staffed for how large of a vessel it was.
It needed ALOT more crew IMO, the corridors were too empty.

no it isn't. it has automation, presumeably drones and things like the peanut hampers, that is mentioned occasionally but rarely seen (budget and time permitting, i am sure they would have liked to show us more, like the holotables, but alas, not until Disco's DOTS); and facilities for all the additionalnon-starfleet personnel she's *designed for and capable* of carrying, mission demanding. people like to bring up that ec henry video as like a gotcha about crew size versus floorspace for some reason, but iirc even he points out that there are several large spaces like the extensive shuttlebay, cetacean ops, that need the space to function; nevermind dedicated science labs that don't need to be manned unless someone is doing that specific science, and space for all the science and machinery and general operations stuff
 
Everything I've read, it's generally against the regs to Fraternize between Officers & Enlisted service members.

Here's an example.

So now starfleet is a military? As you now using military sources to determine the behaviour of starfleet enlisted......


Nothing to stop the enlisted in starfleet going to the academy and becoming officer. I get the impression that enlisted like O'brien simply didn't want the hassle of doing 4 years at the academy.
 
The official name for the Imperial military in Star Wars is the Imperial Navy. There's your Space Navy, nerds. Complete with officers who are 99% British and sinister.
Hate to be that guy but the imperial military had branches like our earth based military.

You had the imperial navy but also the Imperial army and the stormtrooper Corps that was kinda like the waffen ss.
