What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

If it weren't for the existence of "TATV..." it'd be the worst episode of the entire final season. It is never one that lands on my rewatch lists even for any titillation value. The only good things to come out of the episode were that we learned that the women in Orion society are dominant and just allow the men to pretend otherwise and that the Gorn government and/or native political entity is officially called the Gorn Hegemony.

 

Porthos was lost in a transporter accident, but no he's safe and well, it sent him to an alternate universe where sentient canines evolved to stand up like humans, and he's president of that universe's Federation where dogs rule the stars, humans live in cages

 

I'd watch it!

 

So would I. And I wrote it, well I would if there was money in it

 

Orions as a race are poorly conceived. None of it is sexy or attractive or seductive.

 

It’s actually nice that both DSC and LDS have taken them in (separate) new directions.

 

I had no idea the Mormons were involved.

 

I mean, they could only improve upon really thin material.

 

Orions. Conceived because Gene Roddenberry had a thing for green boobies.

 

That was Galactica

 

Yes, green is not a color we usually associate with sex.

 

But for some reason it screams Alien!

 

Perhaps it is because of "the Little Green Men".

 

I think it predates that. It's a color choice for "other". Witches, elves, monsters and others.

 

I didn't know that one!

 

D'oh! I need more caffeine.

 

They are literally involved.

 

Yeah yeah yeah... I was thinking about behind the scenes.
