Hmmm. That ring, dropped into a cup of water...
Exposed a bit of antimatter. On the order of one cubic millimeter.

What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?
- Thread starter Amasov
- Start date
Depends on the scene.
I didn't mind the look of Robocop in the reboot. But they should never try and make a PG-13 Robot cop movie. Robocop movies demand over the top excessive violence. Even if not made in the 80's it still needs a touch of that 80's vibe to it IMO.
This might be a controversial opinion, but I think in a perfect world Jerry Goldsmith would have been as associated with Star Trek movie scores as John Williams is with Star Wars. Even though that would mean losing James Horner's Star Trek 2 score, which I will admit is magnificent.
That said, now that Goldsmith is no longer with us, I would happily pass that torch on to Michael Giacchino.

I think DS9 Season 4 is my favorite season of Old Trek.
"How is that controversial?" Because I just gave an answer other than TOS Season 1 or TNG Season 3. Not to knock either of those! They're up there too.

I didn't mind the remake black either, but I thought he looked much better in the classic colors he sports early on.
DS9 season 4 is the closest to a perfect season the franchise ever got. There wasn't a single bad episode that season. (Even "THE MUSE" had a good idea with the creativity vampire, and the Odo/Lwaxana story was really sweet.)
I consider it my favorite in the franchise, also.
DS9 was the best Trek before Lower Decks.
FIGHT ME!
FIGHT ME!
I still thing DS9's second season is the best. Top 5 seasons of Berman Trek are.
1 TNG season 4
2 DS9 season 2
3 TNG season 3
4 DS9 season 5
5 DS9 season 4
1 TNG season 4
2 DS9 season 2
3 TNG season 3
4 DS9 season 5
5 DS9 season 4
My daughter and her friend are watching Lower Decks. You know what? It's good. It's damn good.
The PLAN was that they would alternate between DS9 and LDS. (They have a friend at school who is a howling Niner.) But they're just mainlining Decks.
(Daughter has grown up as, well, my daughter. Friend... Well... As an ongoing social experiment that began when we started her on Rebels without seeing any Star Wars movies - hee hee hee - she has never seen any Star Trek except SNW and TOS. I figured she would at least know who Picard was. I was incorrect!)
They did at least watch Emissary. Which is good because I can at least explain the connection between Shaxs and Kira. (They both love Kira after one episode.) And they are both at least amused by first season Julian Bashir.
As far as I'm concerned it's lucky that DS9 is as good as it is because I could justify making someone watch all of it just to see Take Me Out to the Holosuite.
Lower Decks: Wej Duj is just one of the best Star Trek things EVER.
And yet DS9 had...
"RIVALS"
"THE HOUSE OF QUARK"
"FASCINATION"
"OUR MAN BASHIR"
"TRIALS AND TEIBBLE-ATIONS"
"IN THE CARDS"
"THE MAGNIFICENT FERENGI"
"WHO MOURNS FOR MORN?"
"ONE LITTLE SHIP"
"HIS WAY"
"TAKE ME OUT TO THE HOLOSUITE"
"BADDA-BING, BADDA-BANG"
And more fun episodes. Not to mention the B plots of many other episodes were fun and light-hearted.
DS9 had dark episodes, sure. But they were balanced out with the light ones. DS9 was definitely the most balanced series in the franchise.
