What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

Much of the time the Romulans swoop in on the pretext that the zone has been violated, to milk playing the victim. They're probably all over the place inside the zone, but the Federation just can't detect them.
Well… what he thought was the right thing to do wasn’t always so compassionate, especially if the Prime Directive was involved. From “Who Watches the Watchers”: “Why didn’t you let him die?!””
Is not a sphere. It's an intersection of two other spheres. (Why does the Enterprise enter through the skinny side? That one I can't tell you.)
Heck, the Enterprise finds them in Fed space and doesn't do anything about it either.
Some of that comes from being a leader. He has to make touch calls and can't always be nice. Which as we know is pretty common I suspect when one is serving in a military chain of command. I never found him to be abrasive about it like say Jellico. Stern but fair I think best describes him. Sure he gave lots of speeches but some of the people he gave speeches to needed it and who among us doesn't enjoy a little pontifying when the mood strikes.
Condescending is the key aspect for me.
To quote from my personal favorite fictional leader, "Your voice would carry much better if you talked at people instead of down to them."
The Prime Directive exists to prevent humans from acting like GODS and interfering in things they don't know much about. I mean it was clearly inspired in TOS from America getting involved in Vietnam. TNG seemed to take it another step and it's like they were trying to think about it from the playing GOD level.
If you help these aliens on planet B will they someday get powerful because they were helped and screw over these aliens on Planet C in 100 years from now. I mean that was kind of the reason of not wanting to save those aliens with Worf's human brother in it. If you relocate them to this other planet how will that change that area of space in hundreds of years if they develop Warp Drive. I saw it as them maybe being overly cautious than anything else.
Of the five or six Captains of the Classic Era of Trek (counting Jeffrey Hunter's Pike) I'd rather serve under Kirk, Archer, Janeway and Sisko before Picard or the Hunter Pike.
I would have picked Picard in terms of serving. Granted it's hard to pick and not consider their ship or in Sisko's case his space station in the equation. The Enterprise-D is just the place to be. Everyone aboard is nice. Lots of Holodecks to have fun on. They treat mental illness seriously though I would find it distracting with some of the outfits that Troi wore.
KIrk gets to many people killed. DS9 is a death trap. The NX-O1 is to cramp.Voyager is lost in space and Janeway made some bad calls as leader. Hunter's PIke is hard to know about .

Well, that's certainly a controversial opinion for me.
I would choose Captain Pike or Kelvin Kirk.
The last time he was in my “top captains” list was when it was just Kirk and Picard.
It looked to me like a squashed sphere, hence the term "spheroid". A spheroid is not necessarily a perfect sphere.
I'm sure they did the math the best they could in 1982.
I was told there wouldn't be any math...
Ford is a better idea.
My question is still 'what would have happened if the mirror Lorca hadn't changed places?'
Total destruction of the Federation, is my best guess.
Because Federation Lorca, was most likely a total idiot.
Don't get me wrong, he was serving as a Captain in the Federation Starfleet...

What do we know about Lorca from the Prime Universe?
He's probably dead...
That he vanished in a transporter swap with Mirror Lorca and likely died during the swap. That's about it.
Username is sus...
See above.
Such a ghoulish thing to say.
