What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

Hell, even in TOS Engineering and lab departments often had officers and crewmembers in work jumpsuits while other departments had the regular duty uniforms. Crewman Watson in "That Which Survives" isn't sporting a red Engineering shirt and black uniform trousers when he's killed.

When are engineers going to be given hard hats Fixing machinery can be dangerous.

 

[Bad Thoughts]

TMP uniforms looked to me like poor man's versions of the uniforms on the first season of Space: 1999.

But, but, if there are no keys, then how does music work? This is the key to the situation.

Seven is also a unique special case.

She spent many years on USS Voyager, helping it get home.

Icheb was on Voyager

Her knowledge rivals some of the most senior officers in StarFleet due to her Borg Experience.

Icheb has Borg experience.

They were what passed for law enforcement in the Neutral Zone.

Whose law? What law were they enforcing?

When seat belts are installed, and the Argo buggy has a windshield.

But, but, if there are no keys, then how does music work? This is the key to the situation.

Pretty sure one control panel on the OTOY recreation had a key.

Icheb was on Voyager

Icheb has Borg experience.

And for some reason, he was let into StarFleet before Seven.

But he met a sad end.

And for some reason, he was let into StarFleet before Seven.

But he met a sad end.

He was an innocent.

He didn't have Seven's notorious reputation.

 

[Kamen Rider Blade]

He didn't have Seven's notorious reputation.

A reputation that was earned while being a Fenris Ranger.

It gave Seven "The Edge" she needed to be a "Real Bad Ass".

She didn't hesitate to get revenge, she just did it.

I just remembered what they did to him on Picard. Blech.

TUC bridge had an ignition key on the helm console!

When seat belts are installed

Welcome to 1979!

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Welcome to 1979!

Welcome to 1973!

At least those TAS seatbelts existed and have a strong resemblance to the 2164 ones aboard the U.S.S. Franklin, so at least twice in the first century or so of Federation history Starfleet did experiment with seatbelts.

Even when she was in the Collective, she was no angel (she killed, enslaved, and/or assimilated for eighteen years).

Wouldn't that be true of anybody who was enslaved for 18 years, you'd be witness to that many attrocities as well.

All Borg Drones are victims of the Borg as well, you don't have the free will to deny the voice of the Borg Collective and their orders.

That's the scary part of the assimilation, once you're in, they have control over you.

All Borg drones are victims of The Collective. The Collective is made of Borg drones. Who is The Collective?

 

[Kamen Rider Blade]

All Borg drones are victims of The Collective. The Collective is made of Borg drones. Who is The Collective?

The Borg Collective is either a "Decentralized Voice in their heads" or a voice controlled by "The Borg Queen".

Take your pick as to which one is guiding the entirety of "The Borg Collective".

The differences between Seven of Nine and Icheb is what happens when you switch horses mid stream.

Chabon and Duff wanted a story about people outside Starfleet. Seven of Nine being outside Starfleet was a virtue. She defended people undefended, and it reflected her personality: distrust of large organizations. Icheb's belonging to Starfleet reflected the success of the character and underlined the tragedy of his death.

Goldsman and Matalas nostalgically turned back to Starfleet. Now Seven of Nine was excluded and the subject of discrimination.
