What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

At this point, I think I've rewatched the first season of TOS more than any other season from any Star Trek series. It's like an endless spring for my brain to drink from.

The older I get the more I appreciate TOS, and it has always been my favorite. The bolded is pretty much the main reason why, there was so much creativity in play that much of the later shows are totally devoid of.

The original Star Trek tickled my brain in a way no other Trek show has come close to.

edit to add: come to think of it, my kid's college requires their students to take a math placement test before letting them enroll in their college math class or classes, or lots of the science classes. Taking at least some math is a college graduation requirement even for students who ace the placement test.

lol, my first day of college registration (forty years ago, yikes!) I had to take a math test, a chemistry test and write an essay before I could register for any of those classes. I think I knew about the math and English placement exams, but chemistry was a complete surprise - sure made for a long day…

TOS is also my favorite by far, for many of the same reasons as folks have stated.

I’d also add one more: it’s never boring, even the “bad” episodes are usually still totally entertaining.
