Sorry, I agree with you. I edited my post to better reflect it.
What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

I don't see why the Trek universe was afraid of augments like Prime Khan, he was beaten three times by non augmented people.
So much for superior intellect.
So much for superior intellect.
Maybe Khan and his people were mentally handicapped Augments? Strongest of the strong, not the brightest of the bunch.
The Arik Soong Augments also got their butts handed to them after they departed Cold Station 12. They did well against unsuspecting Klingons and Archer's crew when they got caught off guard, but at the end got bested by humans with one-fifth their physical strength.
I think the bigger problem was a lesson from history: that a group of these supermen tried to overthrow legitimate government.
Probably.Could they really do any worse?
You do know that every bottom of the barrel has a basement, right?Could they really do any worse?
Transporters kill you.
And within three or four years were overthrown, with 84 chased into exile. Even the Third Reich lasted longer than the Augments' empires.
I have also noticed that all the old Star Trek show clips upon the interweb are slowly being replaced by Nu-Trek. I had to search really long and hard for this video, where as in my youth it would have been one of the first ‘go to’ search results.
For comparison, using the same search parameters this is the top result:
It’s almost like I have slipped into a parallel universe, or an alternate future where the interweb has become somewhat distorted?!
Also…
I do not think that this is either very clever nor creative, here is the original source material.
Can you notice the difference in production quality, emotional direction and general other stuff that are important whilst making a good movie?
They also say that the Eugenics Wars took place from 1992-1996, as does TWOK.
So everything else is wrong.
Exactly. We are not Thermians (well, most of us aren't) and these are not historical documents.
I get emotional from both for different reasons.
It's almost as if context matters or something.
In a way, they are historical documents. They capture society at the time they were made.
I would say it's less a capture of society, but rather the self-impression of the society. It's just as interesting from an anthropological perspective, but less truthful than watching an old documentary or newsreel footage.
Case in point, the recent blu-ray of Cecil B. DeMille's King of Kings has some fascinating and candid footage captured between takes on set, nearly a full century ago. It's remarkable to watch people acting exactly like they still do today, just being themselves without the artifice of making a movie or selling the movie.
Picard season 2 was a good idea, executed terribly. The idea of the crew coming back to modern times could have been lots of fun. Especially if Q acted like Q. Guinan acted like Guinan and they dumped all the stuff with Ice and Picard's dead mom and focused on the Borg Queen causing mayhem.
