    Defining Moment For Each Captain

    Agreed on "The Corbomite Manuever" for Kirk. "RISK. IS. OUR. BUSINESS!!!!!", though memorable and even close, was going quite a bit much even for him. For Picard I think I would actually go with real unusual choice, with when he is willing to go opposite of Kirk. "Q Who", "You wanted me to say...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    It is a pretty weird flaw in TWoK how Spock just goes "But there is the Mutara nebula," a whole nebula just being announced into existence without any previous indication and it then playing big role, though it's also a pretty inconsequential flaw, despite the weirdness and abruptness that still...

    What is your favorite female character from Voyager?

    I think it would be pretty hard for any first officer to Janeway to make a particularly better impression, be better regarded, when the writers had Janeway (aside from Seven and occasionally the Doctor) so much making the decisions, driving the stories and the other characters either having to...

    Would TNG Have Worked Without Picard?

    Barely any, less than was on later spinoffs Berman and Piller created. Edit: I think it got maybe just a little too comfortable in Season 5 and then a bit outright tired the last 2 seasons, especially the last season, although with also having some really weird episodes, but think it still...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    I think they pushed most of the films to be set later to allow for TFF to have its Nimbus III been established by the big 3 powers and around for 20 years (after the initial big conflicts between the big 3 powers). Edit: While I would imagine an endeavor like that would start after, very soon...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    I don't think it's exactly wrong to have TMP be set just 18 months/2 years, rather than 10 years, after the end of the original show, it's maybe a slightly weird decision but not a bad one, I do agree it's nice that TWoK then allowed significant, roughly real amount of time to have passed but...

    Why does everyone agree that Season 3 is the worst season of VOY?

    I think most people think it isn't the worst but it probably has particularly few big fans between a lot of people saying Seven of Nine saved/improved the show and a lot preferring the first two years as closest to what the show should be (and then Season 3 pretty out of steam and so Seven...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    I think nostalgia for something old is pretty equivalent to hype for something new. And at least often enough nostalgia in itself doesn't make something hold up let alone be great, so when it does contribute that shows it's not just or primarily nostalgia making positive impact.

    Changed Opinion Of A Character...

    Not a lot of change for me, I think my biggest ones are just improved view of Neelix, pretty outright terrible in the first 2 seasons but not, as I previously thought, throughout, then at least improved in 3 and then really improved in the rest, to not really to good but good in a number of...

    Different/Alternate Casting for Picard

    Really hard to imagine Mitchell Ryan in the role given his kind of overblown bravado as Kyle Riker in "The Icarus Factor" and parts in comedies Liar Liar and Dharma & Greg, likewise Roy Thinnes given his kind of creepy role in The X Files. I imagine they or Patrick Bauchau would still do OK...

    Is Far Beyond the stars overrated?

    It was definitely a weird note to try to include, end episode on, interesting in itself but a bit choppy/excessive to end episode on. But I think it worked well enough as that Sisko didn't really think that but just had gotten really involved with the persona, it felt real and he was still...

    Is Far Beyond the stars overrated?

    Most TV, both good and not, isn't subtle, you can easily be not subtle without necessarily being excessive and hear I felt the tone felt yes unsubtle but appropriately, effectively so including the breakdown. I think it is really strong, a lot of it really good, but also at least a bit...

    What is your favorite female character from Voyager?

    I could go with a tie between Seven and Torres, both really good, Seven just a bit overused and occasionally too regressed/retreading but still most of the roles don't feel excessive and even retreading version stills mostly worthwhile, Torres not often but a few times too regressed/retreading...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    Most people understandably don't want to or even tend to think of circumstances like that and even if they did that feels like a much more unlikely and forced, artificial, forced, compelled scenario than just being artificial and so *that* manipulable to start with.

    Pitch a Better Movie

    If the writers of Nemesis really, really wanted to have a darker twin of a character bringing back and dealing with Tom Riker would have probably been a lot better character and story, in part just from him having the existing background him making a lot more sense though from having to in some...

    Could Star Trek V been saved?

    I do like that the final film has McCoy become sympathetic to Sybok, even largely won over by him, but not to the point of turning against or betraying Kirk while Spock is just not interested/tempted at all in very believable way.

    Spoilers All Things STAR WARS - News, Speculation & Spoilers Thread

    Rewatching Sith on the big screen, there are some weird and flawed characterizations and relationships and yet both are still better than in Clones and the main ones still work, are at least effective and believable enough to great. The visuals and action are impressive yet excessive and yet...

    Would TNG Have Worked Without Picard?

    I think without Picard it would have at least been, felt like a pretty different show and real hard to see how it would have also not felt like a pretty weaker show. It could still last a few more years but most would regard it as big step down, as then just OK/mostly OK.

    Spoilers The Controversial Star Wars Opinion Thread

    Lucas seemed to think they were still great/generally right, with their general philosophy especially about starting training from so on, though to present or at least imply that their main flaw was being too tied to, backing of the government without being skeptical enough of it, parts of it...

    Misheard Lyrics

    I thought, heard the song/lyric from West Side Story was "I Want to Be in America" (more ironic as they're already in America) not "I Like to Be in America"
