What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

[TheAdmiralty]

And TMP was extremely 70s.

Don't see what's especially 70's about it besides Bones's open collar.

 

[Jayson1]

Well their was also the bell bottoms.

 

[1001001]

Well their was also the bell bottoms.

And it’s general shittiness.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Okay so we all have weird names.

Star Trek?

That would be a weird name.

 

[fireproof78]

Don't see what's especially 70's about it besides Bones's open collar.

It's mostly the brown and beige tones.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Don't people still use wits today?

Only about half.

 

[Bad Thoughts]

Don't see what's especially 70's about it besides Bones's spectacular open collar.

FTFY

 

[CorporalCaptain]

TMP Bones had a bit of bling.

 

[Gilora]

The best movie acting performances are in The Search For Spock, especially that of William Shatner.

 

[Gilora]

Dr. Bashir is the best non-holographic doctor.

 

[TheAdmiralty]

And it’s general shittiness.

The 70's ruled, arguably the greatest pop culture decade.

Well their was also the bell bottoms.

That also applies to '60s Trek. TOS uniforms had bigger flares than a nighttime 18-wheeler wreck on an Interstate.

 

[cooleddie74]

Only about half.

But enough about Washington, D.C.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

The best movie acting performances are in The Search For Spock, especially that of William Shatner.

We never saw Kirk like we did when he reacted to the death of his son. That was a raw moment, well executed I thought, and a very emotional lead-in to blowing up the Enterprise.

 

[Paul755]

I think Shatner was really great in WoK too.

The Spock death scene especially is really good stuff from both Shatner and Nimoy. Shatner really does the devastation great there.

 

[CoveTom]

The 70's ruled, arguably the greatest pop culture decade.

Incorrect. The greatest pop culture decade was unarguably the 80's.

Four of the six classic Trek films. The beginning of TNG. The Empire Strikes Back. Aliens. Terminator/Terminator 2. The A-Team. Knight Rider. Airwolf. The beginning of the Disney Renaissance. Cheers. Night Court. Johnny Carson and David Letterman. I mean, I could just keep going on and on with TV and movies to say nothing of music.

The real problem with 'Star Trek ', is that it is about exploration and research. Not necessarily the People. Why? Realistically if we were watching the actual people do you think that the dialog would be any were near what it is?

I drive a school bus for a living, and the two-way radio is to be used only minimally. Why? In case of an actual emergency.

Such that the channel must be kept quiet clear.

This means that unless it absolutely job related on the bridge, communication would be non existent.
A "relaxed" bridge isn't paying attention. Alarm bells and flashing lights are all very well, but if they keep you from hearing important communications then you are in real trouble.

So where?

Off the bridge, break room, dinning room...

Shatner's a formidable and incredible actor when he wants to be. He never gets enough credit.

 

[Toril Toran]

In terms of bad names, the guy I always felt sorry for was Dick Butkus (Buttkiss)

Star Trek is very much about "The People". Exploration and research is just away to introduce people into dramatic situations. And not necessarily "realistic" ones.

Don't confuse Starfleet's mission with Star Trek's.
