What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

[Jason X-Mas]

I think Peter Allan Fields was a underrated talent that did lots of good writing for DS9. But I think he retired after season 2 but did come back to write In The Pale Moonlight and For the Uniform, I mean just look at the episodes he wrote or at least got a story credit for on DS9

Dax
Progress
Duet
The Circle
Necessary Evil
Blood Oath
Crossover
For The Uniform
In the Pale Moonlight
The Dogs of War(surprised by this one.)

The problem that I have with 'Star Trek: Deep Space 9', is the Runabout...


You are on a Federation Starfleet run Space Station, near a boarder, with a people that are so Byzantium in nature?

And the only thing Benjamin Sisko has is the Runabout? They weren't thinking, a couple of Miranda class ships should have been docked on standby. Full crews. For at least evacuation purposes.

The Runabout, in particular: maximum warp factor 4.7, the way out of this, should have been determined by antimatter availability. In other words the Runabout should have been faster than this, and not a new idea...the Enterprise-D, was supposed to have 22 person large shuttles, and less flexible in design cargo or passenger...with vastly more computer power than a Shuttlecraft.

As to scripts more Cardasian story line troubles.

I remember reading, even before the episode aired, that the plan was to bring her back on DS9, which never happened.

IIRC, that was an urban legend. So the story goes, the DS9 episode Second Skin, in which Kira wakes up on Cardassia surgically altered to appear Cardassian, was originally written for Sito Jaxa. But I've never seen any confirmation of that. Granted, I've never seen anyone refute the claim either.

I never noticed this about the Runabouts. I always assumed they went as fast as the plot required them to.
