What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

Section 31 is entertaining, I like it.

I think Booker's Ship was really cool, but I wish he would've got a replacement vessel after it was destroyed at the end of S4.
Also, some of the concept art for his ship was a bit prettier IMO in terms of design aesthetics & functionality with certain different elements.
I was hoping they would adopt some of the earlier design elements as a replacement vessel.

And given that Book eventually marries Michael Burnham, I wish they would get a Matching Pair of Opposite Mirrored Designed vessels that could join together side to side as a Wedding Gift.
Each person owning one half of the vessel and can seperate as needed for individual flight or dock for joined flight.
That could offer some innovative designs for couples that fly together, especially on "Off The Books" Secret Missions that Michael seems to want to get herself into like the "Red-Directive missions".
 
Neelix and Kes were badly conceived characters and, along with the Kazon, dragged Voyager down for years. Most of the specific details about the Delta quadrant in the pilot were, in fact, useless and had to be outgrown or discarded. Chasing down water in spaceships?
 
^ Unfortunately, I have to agree. Nevertheless, I think they could have been great characters.

If only Neelix had been treated more seriously as a figure with a tragic and traumatic background who had a very hard life (given how his family was vaporized in the Metreon Cascade while he had deserted his conscription duty and how he had to scrounge for a living in the years after that, not always in the position to appreciate the finer ethics of what he did), he could have been a good addition to the crew. Unfortunately, we saw that side of Neelix in less than a handful of episodes, whereas his potential was wasted in most episodes as just (bad) comedic relief.

Similar for Kes. If her character had been thought through a bit more from the beginning, including such things as her species characteristics (10 years of life max, only one child per woman), she might have added an interesting alien perspective on the crew, and have had somewhere to go with her character when the 'manifesting the psychic gift of the week' schtick began to wear thin. She was a character with a sweet disposition and I regretted that they let her go, but I can kind of understand the reasons for it from a show perspective.
