So, how about that Star Trek thing, eh everyone?
I do not either.
You know that argument is bound to happen...
That person would not be wrong.
Don't fight, you are BOTH wrong. Everybody knows that real Star Trek only really started in 1979, when Gene's Vision(tm) of a pure , evolved humanity, free from any
Everything vefore that (and, also everything after TNG) is obviously canon discontinuity and not real Star Trek.
(just to be clear. This is a joke, I'm not serious)
Real Trek began and ended with the Wonder Years dream sequence.
Reno: Much as I like her, if we saw her more regularly (unlikely because the actress has other commitments), they'd have to flesh her out more beyond funny quips.
That's not hard to do.
*yawns*
This argument is more tiresome than VOY Season 6.
Controversial opinion thread.
Also, the characters listed had much more opportunity to be presented in various ways. Stargate did similar things.
I don't want DS9 or Stargate again. I had them already.

I'd put Shran up against this list.
Now, I can't suggest any other Enterprises characters, but....
Of course, how manny reoccurring guest stars did Enterprise have?
Shran, Admiral Forrest, Soval.
DS9 isn't the Underdog on TrekBBS. Just the opposite, in fact. You're not punching up, you're punching down. That puts different dynamics in play.
At least with DSC and PIC, I'm punching up.
People keep talking up DS9 like it some how needs it...I apparently missed the days when DS9 needed defending.
Bill Clinton was President.
Overall, I like TAS better than DS9.
It's not that there aren't good episodes of DS9. There are, such as "Homefront", "Paradise Lost," "Far Beyond the Stars," and "Trials and Tribble-ations," just to name several.
But I find most episodes of DS9, about 90% of them give or take, to be plodding and boring, far more boring than even the worst of TAS. Plus, there are some standout episodes in TAS, such as "Beyond the Farthest Star," "Yesteryear," and "One of Our Planets Is Missing."

Touche, and well done Alfred.
Now...down the Bat-pole!!! Hey wait a sec, they luved sliding down that
Hardly conservative-specific values...
Not among the pseudo-military, sure. Plus, those weapons have a stun setting...
Hardly USA-specific values...in fact in many ways other countries do better in this regard. Just try and get drugs and a prostitute in America, complains the tourist from Amsterdam...
Yes, we all hate nazis.
Again, very much not conservative-specific.
But when the party that's supposed to represent conservative views makes legal immigration virtually impossible (specifically from Mexico, South and Central America and Muslim majority countries), demonizes caravans of asylum seekers, separates kids from their families, defunds the border patrol while advocating a big wall, gets caught sterilizing people in camps, elect some one who called Mexicans rapists in his campaign announcement...at a certain point it's hard not to consider conservatives guilty by association no matter how not racist they may be personally.
Who knows?
I don't think there's anything everyone agree with anymore.
Maybe there never was.
Certainly we can all still agree that Tig Nitaro is always cool???????
Never mind...
As a Canadian looking in from the outside, seeing conservative politicians and pundits arguing against climate change and health care and enabling the kind of thing we saw at your capital building...I find it hard to blame him.
Is this controversial?
I like TAS, but find it ironically the least animated of all the Star Trek shows.
I like DS9 just fine, but outside of the context of a marathon it's no fun to watch. Its strength, that it is highly serialised, is also its weakness in that episodes don't carry impact when watched in isolation. Yes, there are many episodes which don't contribute to the main arc of the show, but I tend to find these ones too inconsequential due to the weight of the larger story that surrounds them.
For this reason, my controversial opinion is that I'd be far more likely to reach for Voyager than DS9 if I wanted to tootle away just under an hour watching Trek and that in this respect, I think Voyager is a stronger show overall.
