What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

This is more an embarrassing one:

I thought INTO DARKNESS was a critique of the Iraq War with Admiral Marcus creating the threat of Klingon weapons of mass destruction and tying them into Khan/Harrison as a way to justify cassus belli.

Apparently it was not about that.

I think that tracks. Nothing embarrassing about intelligent analysis.
 
Serious question… what is a zing?

Short for Bazinga!

Doug Drexler recently shared this theory during his interview with TrekCulture - basically that the Temporal Cold War left the timeline fragmented, especially after the ENT era, and that you can consider all subsequent series and movies as living in their own reality bubble if it makes you feel better about inconsistencies.

I really like that idea.

Watching Enterprise earlier and Inwas musing…

If Roddenberry had thought of the decontamination chamber and crew members rubbing each other down with oil, we’d totally have had that in either TOS or TNG.

Just imagine the pairings…
 
This opens up a range of questions.

Do/did Klingons ever use decon chambers?

How does the decon chamber compare to a mud bath for Betazoids?

What if Spock was stuck with McCoy while going through Pon Farr, like T’Pol was with Phlox?

Would Data even need to use a decon chamber?

Would they share a decon chamber with Wesley? Or do they draw the curtains?

Which red shirt actually manages to die using the decon chamber?

Hoe often would Kirk be in a decon chamber with a yeoman? What about Riker with anyone?

Would Leah Brahms share the decon chamber with Gordie after she finds out about holoBrahms if a situation necessitated it?

How does it handle an individual covered in Armus?

Would a captain’s decon ever come into existence?

Do Uhura and Chapel go on more away mission as a result? For that matter, are there scenes with Illa, Saavik & Valaris in the movies using the decon?

How many episodes do we get with Scotty repairing the decon chamber?

Would Chief O’Brien also have to use the decon chamber upon beaming them up, despite not going on most away missions?
 
That's a lot of questions. Let's tackle them one at a time and as simply as possible to avoid confusion.
Do/did Klingons ever use decon chambers?
No.
How does the decon chamber compare to a mud bath for Betazoids?
Faster but not as soothing.
What if Spock was stuck with McCoy while going through Pon Farr, like T’Pol was with Phlox?
Spock would break out of the chamber to find his preferred mate.
Would Data even need to use a decon chamber?
Yes
Would they share a decon chamber with Wesley? Or do they draw the curtains?
Separate chambers, obviously.
Which red shirt actually manages to die using the decon chamber?
Ensign Leroy Jenkins.
Hoe often would Kirk be in a decon chamber with a yeoman? What about Riker with anyone?
Kirk would not.
Would Leah Brahms share the decon chamber with Gordie after she finds out about holoBrahms if a situation necessitated it?
Nope.
How does it handle an individual covered in Armus?
Not well.
Would a captain’s decon ever come into existence?
Absolutely.
Do Uhura and Chapel go on more away mission as a result? For that matter, are there scenes with Illa, Saavik & Valaris in the movies using the decon?
Not sure why that matterse.
How many episodes do we get with Scotty repairing the decon chamber?
All of them. Especially that one where the decon chamber accidentally causes an evil duplicate
Would Chief O’Brien also have to use the decon chamber upon beaming them up, despite not going on most away missions?
Yes.
