What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

The pants look tucked in but it appears to be the normal boots so I tend to think he is trying to rock a d'Artagnan vibe.

 

That would explain Spock calling him so. "Take D'Artagnan to sickbay." He said.

 

In Star Trek everyone is equal because NO ONE has pockets.

 

- The Section 31 of Sloane is necessary and good. Let's just forget about every other Section 31 ever to make it to the screen.
- Voyager never should have made it back to the Alpha Quadrant.
- There is a GREAT Star Trek movie hiding within Star Trek Nemesis that could be fixed with significant editing.
- Nearly every canon issue about Discovery Season 1 could be fixed by setting it in the 2430s (just cut all Sarek / prequel references out of it). Obviously with Pike ans Season 2, that becomes impossible.

 

Discovery is fine as it is. No need to change a thing.

 

As is Picard, Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds, and Prodigy.

 

Exactly, it's the fans that make it a problem

 

They haven't started yet.

 

The shows haven't, but plenty of people have gone online to express their displeasure at the mere concept.

The same with Section 31, including alot of people on this very board. Unfortunately.

 

That's deplorable. They could at least wait to see them before they start criticizing.

Personally, I am delighted that there are so many new series in perspective. I remember a time when we were wondering if the franchise wasn't dead for good.

 

Honestly there's nothing wrong with people being unhappy with the concept of a series. It is, after all, the most fundamental building block of what the series will become.

I'm not wild about Section 31, personally, both for the concept and the S31 characters we've already seen on DSC.

The problem is people who can't accept that people might still surprise you (which, sure, it may be the case that I somehow wind up loving S31) or who can't accept that just because something isn't for you, it doesn't make it an objectively indisputable travesty that's RUINING STAR TREK FOREVER!!1!1!

Anyone who comes to a place like this presumably has at least one series in the franchise they actually like, so whenever a new one is disappointing to us we can always can back to that one again. And most of us have probably already had at least one series in the franchise that disappointed, too, so we really should already have developed the maturity to just accept it and move on.

 

This is why I am not fussed with Star Trek not being for me. I had that experience very early on with TNG. I grew up with TOS and watching it with my dad, reading TOS novels, and exploring that. Then TNG came along, and my friends were like "TOS is old news; TNG is better!" I could not get in to TNG. Picard was not an enjoyable captain, the crew interactions were unapproachable for me, and overall just not very fun. So, it wasn't for me. And that was OK. Each series I gave a shot, and then moved on.

Acceptance is a powerful tool. I strongly encourage its use.

 

I also had no idea. Of course the question could be were the pants part of the uniform? I mean he was fencing, and the shirt was off.

 

Riley appeared to have his thumbs tucked into similar or identical pocket-like gaps on his own uniform pants so I guess those were Sulu's uniform trousers.

 

yes on the S31 stuff but I would say the version in Enterprise was fine too.

it would have been bold to end Voyager without them getting home. Maybe if there was a chance of getting a movie of some kind down the line.

agree about Nemisis. But it would need a bit more than editing. And I think you could say the same thing about Generations but it would involve removing Kirk altogether.

you could easily swap Pike out for a different “legacy” character. Say Captain Harry Kim (for example) if you wanted to set it that far out after Nemisis.

 

Canon violation.

Captain Paris would be more like it

 

What bold? They didn't make it home, they just made it back to Sector 001. Anything could have happened after the credits rolled, with them never making planetfall. For all we know, they got caught in some battle or other before they could make orbit, and only Janeway survived (so she could cameo in Nemesis). Nothing we saw with future Janeway ever happened in the corrected (skewed?) timeline, so no one got their happy ending.

 

The small pockets are designed to hold their Federation Express Credit card. "Don't leave Earth without it!"
