What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

[Bad Thoughts]

That’s what I said.

I don't see why the Trek universe was afraid of augments like Prime Khan, he was beaten three times by non augmented people.
So much for superior intellect.

Maybe Khan and his people were mentally handicapped Augments? Strongest of the strong, not the brightest of the bunch.

The Arik Soong Augments also got their butts handed to them after they departed Cold Station 12. They did well against unsuspecting Klingons and Archer's crew when they got caught off guard, but at the end got bested by humans with one-fifth their physical strength.

I think the bigger problem was a lesson from history: that a group of these supermen tried to overthrow legitimate government.

Could they really do any worse?

Probably.

You do know that every bottom of the barrel has a basement, right?

And within three or four years were overthrown, with 84 chased into exile. Even the Third Reich lasted longer than the Augments' empires.

I have also noticed that all the old Star Trek show clips upon the interweb are slowly being replaced by Nu-Trek. I had to search really long and hard for this video, where as in my youth it would have been one of the first ‘go to’ search results.
For comparison, using the same search parameters this is the top result:

It’s almost like I have slipped into a parallel universe, or an alternate future where the interweb has become somewhat distorted?!

Can you notice the difference in production quality, emotional direction and general other stuff that are important whilst making a good movie?

Speaking of controversial Trek opinions and Khan...

World War III and the Eugenics Wars are one and the same. TOS, the original source material, made that plain and clear. Any later attempt to retcon it otherwise not withstanding.

They also say that the Eugenics Wars took place from 1992-1996, as does TWOK.

So everything else is wrong.
