What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

So....colored food cubes, then.
I like that theory. I'll try to expand upon it:
Maybe Galaxy class vessels were the first Federation ships to have holodecks, as known in the TNG era. Before that vessels were smaller and not geared as a large family vessel, and such power-drawing entertainment was probably considered wasteful of resources. Maybe before hand lesser advanced holodecks were on very select vessels (long-term deep space missions where entertainment was more of a consideration), diplomatic (diplomatic-assigned) vessels, etc. And aside from the, maybe just on Starbases at some point (though maybe not all of them).
Over time they came to be liked, more power efficient vessels came into the fleet, and a roll out to more classes began.
Maybe some characters simply had never encountered a holodeck as sophisticated as this before. Maybe before hand it was vacations to other worlds, Starbase, and holographic projections (like barely ever seen in TNG). Riker did seem to be amazed at how real it was, the smells, etc. Remember, also in TNG we know replicators never really give food the special touch that a human making it does (that was even in Voyager, as I recall), so there is precedent for tech' not being as advanced as we think it should be.
I like this fan take.
Yeah they were grumpybums too.. I wonder how they all got along post Enterprise and which joined the Federation
Would have been hilarious had they edited that to have the plane flying past a window and people waving
We know from Daniels that at least some Xindi were in Starfleet by the 26th century. And in the 2380s in PRO we see Xindi-Reptillians working as security at a Federation port or Starbase somewhere.
you know what might be controversial
what if the paramount channel did both a star trek next generation reboot and a deep space nine reboot

Bird flu.
Nice one!
I have probably said these before:
1) The "Faith of the Heart" title sequence for Enterprise is good.
2) "Insurrection" in an enjoyable movie.
3) Although it does not bother me, I can see how some of the gore/cursing/adult content on the newer shows could be problematic for some (DISCO, PIC, LD).
4) I am rewatching ENT S1, and am thru the first 2 discs (9 episodes), and it is WAY better than I remember. Despite the DeCon chamber. A nice, well thought out arc thru the first 8 episodes on the Earth/Vulcan attitides with Archer/Tripp/T'Pol being the main drivers. "The Andorian Incident" and "Broken Bow" I remember liking initially. But "Fight or Flight," "Unexpected," "Breaking the Ice," and "Civilization" were all better than I remember. The latter being where it appears everyone is finally rowing together.

I agree with all of that... except the first point.
Terrible song. BUT... the images used throughout are perfect. Every time I watch ENT, I either fast forward the theme or I mute it and watch the images.
I guess they were thinking originally at the time. I don't remember whether that song was retained the whole five years since I was bever a regular ENTERPRISEr.
Though I still have a pleasant memory from around 2009 when Peter David and company's ''MSTSK'' version of an ENTERPRISE episode (featuring The Rock) replaced their opening tune with ''Come Sail Away'' sung by Cartman.
Yup. Needed more Soviets. (This is the only context where I will make that statement.)
And I like the song.
Enterprise ran only four years, and yes, they did keep "Where My Heart Will Take Me" (as the Russell Watson version of "Faith of the Heart" was retitled) for all four seasons, though they introduced a new arrangement in seasons 3-4.
I never understood the objections to the song; its lyrics fit the show so perfectly that I initially assumed the song was written for it. A lot of people complained that Trek had never had a pop-song theme before, but that's incorrect; the TOS theme was very much in the popular song style of its day, a "Beyond the Blue Horizon" pastiche with a bossa nova rhythm, and one of its arrangements had the main melodic line sung by soprano Loulie Jean Norman. It even had lyrics, though cheesy ones that were never used onscreen and that Gene Roddenberry wrote merely so he could get half the royalties for the theme.
The Trek episode with The Rock was a VOY episode, not ENT. "Tsunkatse."
Not "Devil in the Dark" or "Savage Curtain"?
I'd say Chakotay, but that's more wood.
