What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

The TMP ones all have the same head ridges since in 1978 and 1979 they were supposed to have the same spinal ridges that extended over the tops of their heads and down the foreheads. They also had sharper, more fang-like teeth in the first film.
 
If only the Camp Crystal Lake participants received that memo. My issue is what they issue.;)
Theirs is never a trek worth taking.

These have already been said on the first few pages of this thread, but...

I think TNG seasons 1 - 3 are generally the show's best, and that DS9 starts to go very badly wrong from late season 4 onward. Even with Voyager, where I mostly agree with the popular perception that the show improves from the point Seven joins, I think the first three seasons are good and have a certain something that's lost later on.
TOS isn't that great. There's only a handful of episodes that are worth rewatching, and the more time that passes, the harder the series is to watch. Same can be said for a lot of 90s Trek as well.
The thing about TOS is that about 40% of it is the worst shit ever put on TV, but an additional 40% is quite good, and the remaining 20% consists of the best Star Trek ever made.

its kept us here discussing it for year after year
so it must have done something right.
I think it does many things right, mainly because entertaining.

But there seems to be this idea that it is the greatest thing ever and all episodes should be the greatest thing ever orbits garbage and disappointing and ruination.

While I like the look, that suggests a significant “weak spot” — hit them hard on the forehead and you break their back!

Thus, the barrel is the most insidious adversary. It can strike the back and break the head or strike the head and break the back.

Long shall songs be sung when the Warriors of Kling defeat the most terrible for wielding a barrel: D'nkey Kong!
