What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

[Orphalesion]

Still referred to as gold and appeared as such on the screen. I understand that the material had a different look but it came across as gold, or green/gold.

Plus it's possible that they chose the green material especially because it would end up looking gold when it was lit by the studio lights and filmed.

From what I understand that happens quite a lot in filming. Costumes sometimes have to be made in a different colour so that they appear to have the "right"(intended) colour on-screen.

Sometimes the phasers are blue, sometimes red.

It goes in the "who cares" bucket with that kind of stuff.

Does it matter to the story? If not, then, yeah, who cares?

TOS command was green not yellow!!!

Then it was an exceptionally poor green. What viewers saw is what is was.

Eye did not see that coming.

The location of CIC though does not alleviate the need for a manned bridge--with all its windows--to maneuver the ship..

On ships at sea.

There are those that theorize that this is what Theiss had in mind. Tho there.

 

[Disposable_Ensign]

This is really turning into a spectacle.

You are an adept pupil...

Goddamnit.

On ships at sea.

If you are in an alert situation where you are manning the CIC in port, then I guarantee you the bridge will most likely be manned as well.

This would be controversial with some. I'd have left almost all of these deleted scenes in the movie.

The movie would be improved by them or at the least not made any worse.

I don't like reboots, retreads, etc., ad nasuem. Do something new. Not just Trek, Hollyweird period.

And starships do not have windscreens.

Of course not, they have windshields.

I'm watching The Jetsons and seeing what their version of Today is like. Re-watching I should say. I used to watch it when I as a kid.

Let's just say I think people in the 23rd and 24th Century will get a huge kick out of watching Star Trek. "That's what they thought today would be like?!" (We didn't, but that's what they'll think we thought). They'll think about Star Trek, what I think about The Jetsons in the 21st Century. If they even know about Star Trek, they'll laugh at any version we think is "modern".
