What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

[Kamen Rider Blade]

Fans never fail to convince me why fans should never, ever be put in charge of a franchise.

You do know that a good chunk of all the modern Trek Productions are run by "Fans of the franchise".
They just happen to work in Hollywood as well.

They aren't just rando's chosing to work on this strange old Sci-Fi franchise called "Star Trek: ___".

 

[HotRod]

Yes. TOS has the advantage of never having anyone who was a Trekkie growing up.

Yet another reason why it remains the best series.

They are professionals first, this is their livelyhood, how they support their families. Most know that it is first and foremost a job and they work accordingly.

 

[Turtletrekker]

That’s enough of that.

Yes it’s the controversial opinions thread, NOT the “Kamen Rider Blade is seeking attention and he knows how to get it” thread.

The horse is dead. Stop beating it.

FTFY.

 

[korblborp]

Then move on. Let the fans infer the point and call it good.

YES. showing the whole battle isn't necessary, especially since the ship and crew that the show is actually about were not involved, and the resulting implications of the battle, and finding a solution other than pure force, were the important parts of the story.

For the love of all that is good and holy, ANYTHING else.

This is the correct answer.

apologies for making an additional swat at it before scrolling down

i tried to get people talking about klingon forehead ridges but nobody partook

So you're just hating on all derivative Trek works post TOS, just because they contain "Trekkies" who worked in later Trek Productions?

Because there were a LOT of them inside the TNG era and beyond.

 

[Finn]

Are they made of cartilage rather than regular bone? It might explain why they seemed to move sometimes.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Picard looked better with the hairpiece.

I really think you're overplaying your hand.

 

[CoveTom]

Stove Top stuffing actually isn't better than potatoes.

 

[Firebird]

Many in Anime tell a story through the battle itself.

You lost that argument yesterday, so we’re not going to make a repeat today.

The definition of insanity is repeating the same action again and again, hoping for a different outcome.

How so, you keep on hating on Trekkies & fans working in later Trek productions.

When some of the best Trek series had "Many Trekkies" working across the entire production staff who knew what it was about.

Including the Actors.

could be, but then we have seen skulls where thay are clearly bone and seem fused to the rest of it

We do not discuss it with outsiders!

No, really, my view has always been: No explanation of the visual differences between TOS/TAS and everything made from TMP onward should have ever been provided. Literally not ever. What they said in "Trials and Tribble-ations" should have been treated as a humorous* fourth wall violation and never referenced again, ever.

* - and it was hilarious.

There, that should stir the pot enough to get this thread back on track!

Okay, so you don't agree, then "What do you want to talk about"?

 

[Jayson1]

I just had an unusual thought:

Star Trek: The Wrath of Karen

Surely, I have made my meaning plain. I mean to speak with your manager, Admiral. I deprived your store of customers and when I swing around later, I mean to deprive you of your job.

 

[fireproof78]

Honestly, the best Klingon look was from Into Darkness.

 

[BillJ]

I know this won't sink in, but those fans were actual professionals who put in the work to make the decisions. They are professionals who happen to be fans.

When some of the best Trek series had "Many Trekkies" working across the entire production staff who knew what it was about.

The best is the original Star Trek. Their production folks put just as much love into their craft as any fan from a later iteration.
