What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

[Pumpkin Bread]

Regarding the "DS9 vs. VOY" game, is there ANY recurring character, main or peripheral, who Harry could beat? Ziyal, maybe? Morn? Possibly Zek's manservant...

EDIT: Respectful disagreement about "First Contact". It stands proudly with the best of the TOS movies.

Eddington. I mean, Eddington outranked him but at least Harry wasn't a turncoat.

Since I can't remember Zek's manservant...

Harry couldn't be a turncoat... that would have made him an interesting character.

 

[gweeps]

In the spirit of re-iterating things we’ve said to support TFF…I’d honestly put that movie in the top half of franchise films.

Better than most of the TNG films (FC is the only challenger), most of the Kelvin films (BEY and ID) and a couple of the TOS movies.

Yeah, it's almost sad how easy it is to rank the movies.

Wrath of Khan
Undiscovered Country
Search for Spock
Final Frontier
First Contact
Voyage Home
Generations
Insurrection
Star Trek 2009
Nemesis
Into Darkness
Beyond
Motion Picture

lol

He's the focus of Voyager's greatest episode, Timeless.

 

[fireproof78]

Oh, we're doing this now:
The Undiscovered Country
Star Trek 2009
Voyage Home
Into Darkness
Wrath of Khan
Final Frontier
Search for Spock
Beyond
Motion Picture
First Contact
Generations
Insurrection
Nemesis

Year of Hell was the greatest Voyager episode. But Timeless was definitely top-tier.

The fact that Garrett Wang's performance was up to the challenge proves that if they'd just showed the character some love, he could have been far more than he was.

 

[The Vorta-lak]

We're ranking movies?

1. The Great Ones
2. The Good Ones
3. The OK Ones
4. The Bad Ones
5. The Final Frontier

 

[Vger23]

Yeah, it's almost sad how easy it is to rank the movies.

Wrath of Khan
Undiscovered Country
Search for Spock
Final Frontier
First Contact
Voyage Home
Generations
Insurrection
Star Trek 2009
Nemesis
Into Darkness
Beyond
Motion Picture

I think my ranking could be considered a controversial opinion in itself:

1. TWOK
2. TSFS
3. TMP
4. TFF
5. 2009
6. FC
7. TUC
8. TVH
9. NEM
10. ID
11. GEN
12. BEY
13. INS

Wrath of Kahn
Voyage Home
First Contact
Undiscovered Country
Search for Spock
Beyond
The Motion Picture
Star Trek (2009)
Generations
Final Frontier
Insurrection
Nemisis
Into Darkness

 

[Pumpkin Bread]

I'll just do a top tier list, since it's been awhile since I've seen some of them.

1. The Voyage Home. It's just plain fun.
2. First Contact. The one really good TNG movie.
3. The Wrath of Khan. Great space battles, and a heart-wrenching ending.
4. The Search for Spock. Christopher Lloyd is a great Klingon.

 

[Ghost of the Enterprise-C]

Since I can't remember Zek's manservant...

He didn't get promoted either.

 

[Frightscape One]

Since I can't remember Zek's manservant...

Mai'hardu... or Maihar'du. Not certain about where the apostrophe goes, but that is his name.


Regarding movies, I guess I'll play that game, too...

THE WRATH OF KHAN
FIRST CONTACT
THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY
THE VOYAGE HOME
BEYOND
THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK
GENERATIONS
THE FINAL FRONTIER
THE MOTION PICTURE
INSURRECTION
NEMESIS
STAR TREK '09
INTO DARKNESS

Double post.

 

[Richard S. Ta]

I’d rather watch The Final Frontier on a loop than ever revisit First Contact.

 

[Kamen Rider Blade]

The TNG era Type-1 phaser doesn't get enough love for how portable and compact it is.

I'm surprised everybody wasn't carrying a few of those in their pockets given how often random crew members get abducted.

 

[Frightscape One]

The Type 1 was a good design for its purpose. A shame we rarely see it.

Ziyal was great. So was Morn. But, yeah, I'll give you Kim over Mai'hardu.

For the movie ranking:

1) Beyond
2) Voyage Home
3) Undiscovered Country
4) First Contact
5) Search for Spock
6) Wrath of Khan
7) 09
8) Into Darkness
9) Insurrection
10, 11, 12) Final Frontier, TMP, Generations - I honestly can't remember these well enough to really judge them except to say that I found them boring but not as unconscionably awful as:
13) Nemesis

Wrath of Khan is HUGELY overrated. It's fine but does not deserve to be up on a pedestal.
