What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

[fireproof78]

Speaking of Skynet...how come T1000 didn't morph into something that could run fast like a cheetah instead of remaining bipedal? Or Usain Bolt? Dumb AI wanted to stay Robert Patrick.

It was the superior form.

How doesn't it?

The opposition to this, indicates that it is controversial.

In other words Gene Roddenberry's attempt at having a proverbial good series,

has been overturned. Therefore it is controversial.

What is going on now, with the series is approximately the same as a car going off a cliff and exploding for no apparent reason...other than it looks cool, and is therefore 'proper'.

It is not. Proper. And shouldn't be happening appropriately every season, multiple times.

The opposite argument is approximately "Oh, it Star Trek, who cares?".

This is an invalid argument. It is like in real life that you develop appendicitis, which needs to be removed, and surgeon takes your heart instead.

Damn. Now you've got me wondering if that ever came up in the novelization that I used to have.
I'm thinking it was the T1000's default setting/form and it couldn't change/morph into something else and there was conservation of mass involved as well.

Robert Patrick was the default form?

Robert Patrick was the default form?

If I remember the novelization correctly, yes, the patrol officer the T1000 kills when he arrives in the past looks like Robert Patrick and that then becomes imprinted/hardwired into the liquid metal.
If the T1000 had killed someone else - female, Latino, African American, then it would have looked like that.

Really Really Newkirk.

As somebody who lives in the same SoCal, it's laughable.

Especially during his era when he filmed.

Traffic was worse back then.

It’s not any better now….

Ok look likes this thread has gone off the rails despite being repeatedly told (in the last week) to stay on topic.

Say goody bye folks.
