What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

Well that makes sense. We haven't seen Nagilum in a long time and only a alien of his nature could understand the ships brand new Borg Transwarp Warp Core. His main engineers will of course all be Bynars except for Mr Barclay. Barclay is assigned to the ship by Admiral Jellico when he begins to access his old powers he once had from the Cytherians.
 
Heert: "Set your weapons to stun, we gotta take this rebel spy alive."
Strike team: "Sure thing boss"

"Orders schmorders, let's light these fuckers up!"
 
Stormtroopers spent half of ANH being stone cold killers. It wasn't until Luke, Leia, Han and Chewie had to run from them and evade squads that their "bad aim" became a recurring theme. I mean, look what they did to the Jawas, Owen and Beru and earlier in the film inflicted upon the Rebel crew on the Tantive IV. Piles of dead bodies.
 
They got nerfed like the Borg, Jem'Hadar, Orcs, Uruk-Hai, Cylons, Goa'uld, Jaffa and a myriad other genre baddies across many decades. They are always initially portrayed as horrific and unstoppable forces of nature. Millions dead or disappeared because of their works. Then somewhere along the way, the writers discover they've painted themselves in a corner with that narrative and slowly try to back-peddle (and sometimes lampshade) their way out of that corner, hoping nobody would notice what feckless ass-clowns the bad guys had become in service to the protagonists.

Don't let facts get in the way of a poor joke
 
I don’t know if it’s controversial.

I’ve been enjoying Star Trek again.

However, I’ve been enjoying at as a cultural, historical phenomenon as opposed to a single, continuing narrative.

Fuck canon. There’s near 60 years of American history, distorted through the lens of a pulpy sci-fi show.

If you know what I mean?

I’m not sure I do.

Don’t post when sober.

Which is why no Legacy series is so sad. The show that would have United fandom in universal love and it looks like it will never happen.
