What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

It wasn't that hard.
PIC Season 2 is a dumpster fire, but it was spot-on about ICE.
In a way, very much so.
Not true, LIFEFORCE actor. And that above statement was an insulting admission of defeat. But when one's characters surrender very quickly in their pilot episodes to funny-hatted.....no, too easy.
Hell, there's one line in that dumpster fire season that is far and away the best bit of writing Picard managed to pull off:
"This century? It took off the hood and put on a suit."
Probably one of the most succinct descriptors of what we're seeing in America of late.
Ooh, let's hear the reasoning here. My own controversial opinion is that I think DS9 is absolute crap, especially from mid-season 4 onward, but even I think "Duet" is a rare standout.
I'm curious as to the reasoning.
I appreciate the technical merit of the episode... but it's a depressing gut-kick. Shades of Gray at least has explosions.
“Technical merit”. Yeah. Okay…
Though I actually do consider Duet to be somewhat overrated (and I say that as a DS9 fan), I don't think I'd go that far.
Yes. It's a well executed story with an unexpected twist and a tragic denoument. Just not to my tastes. I'd have liked Romeo and Juliet better if the titular characters had met up in Romeo's new hometown and had nine kids together.
Explosions rarely add to a TV show or movie in my opinion.
Except the opening credits of the original MacGyver. 
Explosions are all about how they are used. Red vs. Blue did great work with it.
I usually skip "It's a Wonderful Life" at Christmas for the same reason. I admire George Bailey's selflessness and decency greatly, and hope that if I ever face a similar situation, I will do the same things he did... but that doesn't mean I enjoy watching him get pummeled.
