What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

[cooleddie74]

It bores me. More of the same, just with an Enterprise-G with an uninspiring look and history and all hamfistedly cobbled together because, I guess, Seven of Nine and a new Enterprise. I'm sure if it got made it'd look cinematic and have lavish aesthetics, but if we're doing an early 25th century series I don't want the Enterprise-G to be the hero ship.

 

[fireproof78]

Yes please.

Wouldn't mind seeing her face off against Romulan remnants.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Why do you dislike the ST:Legacy setup?

Because it's the worst case of small universe syndrome ever to ride the pitch escalator.

Legacy, as Matalas presents it, wouldn't be exploring strange new worlds, it would be an exercise in revisiting nostalgic familiar old worlds. It wouldn't be taking the franchise forward, it would just be stuck looking in the rearview in a continuous death-spiral.

And while I love a good fanwank to a degree, more of the same isn't good if we want to explore the 25th century.

At the current turnover there will be an Enterprise H or I.

 

[cooleddie74]

And one of them is going to have to last a LONG time. The J doesn't show up for another 150 years!

Damn you, Picard, for observing "there's plenty of letters left in the alphabet."

The I will get a refit and then a re-refit. Or on a outside chance, it will last as long at the BTS specs say!!!

It's Star Trek. It won't.

A little bit adds some nice seasoning.

But too much can easily ruin the sauce.

 

[Nerys Myk]

It's Star Trek. It won't.

Captain: Welcome to the Enterprise Ensign Ricky.
Ricky: Wow, my grandfather served on this ship.
An explosion then kills all senior officers and cripples the ship. Ricky becomes Captain and is rewarded with the Enterprise-J

Check please.

Wait, Abrams is going to write the new series?

Or 80s Gene Roddenberry.

 

[cooleddie74]

Give me Abrams.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Ricky don't use that numb PADD.

I loved Picard season 3.

Sure it was one entire season of fanwank. But sometimes I like a good fanwank.

Yup. And a lot of other people did too. One of the advantages of the polls in those episode threads is that you can see exactly who voted what. It's good stuff.

Indeed. Exploring something new is my preferred method. Getting to know more people, new crew, not necessarily connected to past crews. No Enterprise.

Nothing ever gets answered in here. I've seen NASCAR tracks less circular.

At least we know Rick Berman's assistant Christine had circular D-cup boobs.
