154 years between, say, the NX-01 and the Enterprise-B might make Archer feel completely overwhelmed and outgunned. And very likely overwhelmed and outgunned.
What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

Is this not a thread to discuss such things?
Yes. I’m just trying to wrap my head around what the problem actually is. It feels a lot like, “Oh, no! Abrams ruined Star Trek!”
Which is non-sense. He’s no more ruined it than dozens of other show runners. Including my favorite, Gene Coon.
It's a fucking joke. The ship was designed to purpose: to serve the plot the writers and director had in mind.
I am pretty sure that is how every ship comes to be. What do we need for the story?
What is your point? To badger me? I'd rather you'd move on. I will.
Huh? It is a discussion board and I’m trying to figure out your thoughts.
His...Bad thoughts?
It is a discussion board, and this is a thread full of fan-wanking. I am certainly allowed to discuss the story choices of the film. The idea that 09 has convoluted story telling, requiring even more convoluted devices to prop it up, is not out of left field. Plenty of fans and reviewers have made this point. I don't trust at this point that you are taking this in the spirit of the lightness of the subject of this thread. So stop engaging me on this. (Second time I have asked.)
Indeed. Imagine calling Gene something like "Jar Jar Abrams." Abrams gets a bad wrap, in my humble opinion.
I think a poster here made a list for TWOK like it was a newer Trek production and it's telling because that has some nonsense plot elements to make sure the story happens.
You absolutely are. People are also allowed to reply and question your posts.
The real fan debates are the ones we made along the way.
Wait, what?
Wait, what?
You may, but I no longer think you are doing so in good faith. You could easily integrate my point by looking at all I have written about Nerada in the last several hours. Now, I am asking you again, for the third time, to stop engaging me on this subject.
You don’t get to control the narrative or flow of conversation.
I never claimed to. I will no longer respond to you.
It honestly seems to me that you're the one trying to do that. Can we just move on so that the rest of us don't have to deal with your s***?
I answered a question and someone else got snippy. Go talk to them.
Very good call.
Not sure what Bill did to deserve that? Seemed like a back and forth and then escalated for some strange reason.
I would agree. The line seems to be why would a mining ship have such weapons. Well, to me, a mining ship seems perfectly suited because mining can use explosives, especially in space, especially by the Romulans who don't really care about worker safety.
High explosives are often used in mining, and are often cheaper to make, while military grade ones focus on purity of materials and long term storage and stability.
