What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

[Kamen Rider Blade]

Honestly, the whole Romulan supernova thing was dumb.

I checked; it was 10,000 Wallenberg Class vessels that got destroyed during the 'Attack on Mars'.

 

[Smear-Gel]

Having to retrofit it into being much more devastating really was more trouble than its worth. Especially considering I feel like nothing has been done with it. The Romulan Free State and no neutral zone seems to have amounted to them being able to go to the Artifact and thats it, unless im forgetting something.

 

[Kamen Rider Blade]

The Romulan Government requested that StarFleet relocate 900 Million Romulan Citizens.

So 10,000 Wallenberg Class StarShips would each need to ferry 90,000 citizens.

Assuming each Citizen & a small amount of personal belongings & survival supplies to get started on a new planet.

Let's say 1,000 citizens per load, that would only require 90 trips.

Of course those numbers will vary by how many citizens + personal belongings + Survival Supplies get packed into the cargo holds.

It was a very solvable problem depending on how many people & belongings you fit inside the cargo holds.

But all that doesn't matter if the ships get blown up during the 'Attack on Mars'.

The warp core is still within the ship and thus can still be damaged and potentially breach. At which point the nacelles aren't going to do any good no matter if their with the ship or not.

I think the ship might still be able to move at impulse without a warp core.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Call me contrarian, but I don’t like First Contact. I think all of the TNG films are awful dreck that do very little to add anything to the overall Trek universe and are paper thin in their characterization and plotting. FC is no different.

And I love TMP. Warts (and boy are there warts) and all.

 

[cooleddie74]

TMP is a good movie. Haters gonna refuse to join with V'Ger.

 

[The Wormhole]

If the warp core blows up the whole ship blows up, unless the core is successfully ejected beforehand.

Good movie. Even better sedative.

 

[Warp Core Breach]

I always found TMP engaging and fascinating from day one, unlike most of the other action flicks that came after it.

Yesterday I watched movies 5, 6,7, and 8. I don't think 5 is a terrible movie as people say. The ending of the 6th movie, with what they said at the end of the 'kirk' movie, was like a final word to the original series cast. Why did they use Forty again in the 7th movie, take it 73 years ahead, and kill him off? It was an extremely unnecessary move. The 6th movie has a good final word. In the 7th movie, they could have just said "73 years later in the peace treaty with the Klingon" and moved straight to Captain Picard. As for the 8th movie, it's simply great, the series is the best.

I rewatched the Kelvin Time films and Section 31 today. I think the Kelvin Time films are good action films. But if there's going to be a fourth installment in the series, it needs to be shot on a $100 million budget, and the actors, some of whom are extremely popular, need to be convinced to pay the same amount for the fourth installment as they did for the first three. There should be fewer explosions and more character interaction, more human characters, and fewer CGI characters. Also, if the film is coming out a few years down the line, sets and costumes from SNW could be used to keep the budget down.



The only positive thing about Section 31 is that, like the old Star Trek films, it's made in a way that even people who haven't seen the Star Trek tv series's can understand. Why am I saying that? It feels like they're going to do the opposite with Star Wars and The Mandarin?

Concur, it seems much more like a sci-fi/action flick (with a Star Trek veneer) made to appeal to Michelle Yeoh’s legions of fans than something catered to Trekkies.

 

[Fantasy Lover]

I didn't like Geordy La Forge at first, he was terribly written and if he would exist as character today then he would would be written as a villain in a horror film or a drama as an incel who can't handle rejection. But he grew on me in the movies and Picard, I just hope he didn't marry Dr Lea Brams because that seems the implication

 

[Nyotarules]

DS9 Worf didn't have a lot of development to me. Probably because I hated his romance with Dax ( I hate Dax the character, but even more I hate how Terry Farrell played her). There was a decent arc about his development in command, but that was about it.

They didn't focus at all on the fact him turning Gowron away would destroy his House and impact his brother until his brother came to the station to die. He didn't really solve his issues with or become a father to Alexander. There were just half baked developments with Word but he didn't get much to really chew on.

I agree with Michael Dorn, they made Worf a terrible father. I think him redeeming himself with Alexander would be one of the better possible TV movies of Trek they could do.

There was only one decent father in the franchise with the main characters, and that is Sisko, the rest of them were terrible parents.

 

[Farscape One]

I agree Sisko was the best one, but O'Brien was a pretty good dad, too. And while we didn't get to see Tom as one since his daughter was born in the final minutes of the finale, given how he was very much about letting her not be altered and be herself in "LINEAGE", I think he would have made a decent one, too.

Beverly Crusher was a fairly decent mom in TNG. After that is a bit questionable though. But in general, good family dynamics make for boring drama.

To be fair after TNG ended. Wesley was an adult that took off out of contact for periods of time.

We don't know what her relationship was with Jack beyond her, let's say questionable decision to prevent Jack from any relationship with his father throughout his childhood.

 

[Jayson1]

Data was a good dad. It's a shame Lal died when she did though.

 

[Farscape One]

Other than Worf, the lead character dads have been good ones.

Beverly was a pretty good mom... until PICARD season 3. In the first place, that was just wrong of her to not even tell Picard she was pregnant and rob him of even the option of being a father. (This was also my singular problem with K'Ehleyr.) And even if you buy her reasoning of keeping Jack safe from potential Picard assassins, she kept him in danger by bringing him along on her missions.

I can at least respect Carol Marcus for being upfront with Kirk about David and what she wanted.

This. Kirk was an absent father because Carol requested he be.

Trip was ready to be, but it didn't work out. I think O'Brien was a good father. Dr. M'Benga did his best as a father and seeing your kid become Pure Consciousness is kind of like them graduating, I guess. Tom Paris may have been a decent father to one child, but also abandoned his salamander babies, so.. you have to take that into account. Can't say if McCoy was a good father or not.
