What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

[cooleddie74]

Season 3 of TOS is easily the weakest year of the original show but at least that year they finally ditched the velour for rayon(?) uniform tunics that looked better and more expensive.

I think the third season uniforms were nylon.

 

[cooleddie74]

They looked crisper and finally fit correctly. A shame it took about 56 episodes to get there.

Waiting for the barrage of pro/anti Q posts....

 

[cooleddie74]

"But Trek needs to get away from its past! Q is just lazy writing!"

"But Trek needs to embrace everything about its old self! Even if the writing from these new people might suck!"

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

I'll gladly be on the anti-Q side. Just change the Superman "S" in my avatar

 

[Lord Garth]

A lot of people, not fireproof78 (he's the real deal), will suddenly be retroactively Anti-Q. "I never liked Q!" Sure.

Won't it be more like "Q was just fine until Kurtzman ruined him."?

Yeah, you're right...

You can put me firmly in the “pro” camp.

Considering how much I hated the end of season 1, this will bring me back.

 

[cooleddie74]

I was a fan of most of Season 1 and this does nothing but excite me. We're getting Guinan and Q in the same season. There's nothing about that I don't like.

 

[Push The Button]

The A-Team is literally the same episode every single week.

• Episode Opens with the team narrowly escaping that guy who chases them
• One member of the team finds a group of innocent people who are being harassed by some bad guys
• Team reluctantly decides they need to help innocent people, despite the risks and reservations
• Team needs to break Reginald Barcaly out of a mental health institution through silly hijynx
• Team needs to get Clubber Lang onto a plane by drugging his milk
• Lt. Starbuck needs to charm some female guest character to achieve some random goal
• Team designs non-lethal defenses to thwart a final attack by the bad guys, who have been antagonized into action
• Team fires 859,000 rounds and detonates 20 megatons of TNT to scare off bad guys...no deaths or injuries. Team also fires rotten tomatoes and heads of lettuce at bad guys...because it's non-lethal and funny.
• Hannibal refuses payment for what the team did...."It was all for the kids"
• Team narrowly escapes as guys who chase them show up at the very end.
• Roll credits

This is the best thing I’ve read today, well done.

Q can say "fuck" now. This changes everything. I can't wait

When is he coming back?

 

[F. King Daniel]

When is he coming back?

ST: Picard season 2.

 

[Farscape One]

He is? For real?

I know he did a cameo for LOWER DECKS.

(I just looked. It looks true!)

Voyager Season 1-2 was better than 3-7 when it became aliens of the week

 

[fireproof78]

With all the chatter around the new teasers I have run up against some new ones for me:
-Time travel is overused in Star Trek and doesn't add anything to a story.
-City on the Edge of Forever is not the greatest Trek episode ever, or even in my top ten. It is a rather depressing, if well acted, piece of fiction.
-Q is not enjoyable. Not in TNG, not in DS9, not VOY.
-Canon status does not equal enjoyable.

I think the third season uniforms were nylon.

I think they're a kind of polyester knit. I own one made from the original third season fabric, and I believe that's what the guy said. They don't seem nylon-y, which in the 60s would not have been very durable knit.
