What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

There was a core of a pretty interesting and even good idea there, but man, did Goldsman and Matalas completely foul up the execution.

Picard season 2 was a good idea, executed terribly. The idea of the crew coming back to modern times could have been lots of fun. Especially if Q acted like Q. Guinan acted like Guinan and they dumped all the stuff with Ice and Picard's dead mom and focused on the Borg Queen causing mayhem.

Unresolved immigrant plot, turning Raffi and Seven into bickering exes, and undermining the fundamental thesis of Past Tense (humans would find courage to respect each other and push progress) : which of these were good ideas?

And the Soong/Kore plot.

What was the point of that one?

To give the Soji actress and Brent Spiner more work.

I like Picard Season 2, just not enough to defend it.

Controversial Opinion which isn't one I've posted over and over again: I think Starfleet Academy will turn out pretty good. It'll be better than people expect.

There. I said it. We'll see how well this post ages, once it's out.

As with lots of time travel you always have the fish out of water appeal. The idea of a Borg Queen assimilating people also gives you some "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" horror possibilities and having Q become the President of United States to secretly help out because he is dying and wants one more adventure with his old friend Picard.

Could they really do any worse?

They did.
