What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

Actually MASH is pretty close to veg TV. You can watch any ep and totally get it. Things resolve in 24 minutes. There's some change over the years but mostly due to characters leaving. Pretty funny the first few years till Loretta Swit stopped period hair and Mike Farrell's big stache.

Btw,loved Breaking Bad and Saul. Not saying stupid tv is the only valid. But i n a very complex world, simple entertainment has its place.
 
Deeply meaningful TV is as common as honest politicians.

M.A.S.H. had moments they went off the TV rails, and those were some of the best episodes.

Better Call Saul is incredibly good. I wish they’d hurry up with the next season.
 
My controversial opinion. Picard isn't really very difficult to follow at all. My wife who's never seen a shred of Star Trek before Picard could get it. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier however... hoo boy!

What's so hard to follow in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier?

I saw most of the MCU movies once when they came out, so it’s a case of Zemo? Oh yeah, Zemo. Wait, what? He killed a king in Wakanda? Oh yeah... I remember... when did Sam steal the shield? And so on... it’s very plot heavy on what’s in the previous movies and gosh, it’s been how many years since The Winter Soldier? Or Civil War?

I think if you’re the sort who’s seen every Captain America Marvel movie a few times you’re okay... once I watched a YouTube primer I was fine.
 
Riker wasn't a failure. He kept passing up jobs purposefully because he liked the Enterprise and the camaraderie. Even Troi points this out in an episode and it was a part of the characters evolution. He was shown to be a capable and successful captain in episodes about the future.
 
Yeah, keeping up with the MCU films has become more difficult than my graduate work.

It's not really that hard...

Depending on how the second season turns out, I'm on the cusp of saying Picard is my favorite Star Trek series.

How's that for a Controversial Trek Opinion? I was never a TNGer, but this series won me over. Disco and TOS would be tied for second place. Technically, I've already ranked PIC S1 above DSC's three seasons, so I'm pretty much already there anyway.

Picard is definitely my least favorite Star Trek. Q has some heavy lifting to do in Season 2, IMHO.
