What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

Kirk and the Keeler Elf knew each other for how long? A few days at most? Real love takes longer than that, in my experience.
Plus from what I remember this whole Nexus thing and how time works there is so nebulous, do we know whether the whole country house/horse riding thing it was the only fantasy scenario he lived through?

I think the amount of time Kirk and Spock were there was at least a few weeks. It took Spock days to build his gadgets to work with the tricorder the first time, and they would need to have built up enough funds to buy all the stuff he needed to make it work. That takes time.
 
So this may not be controversial, but fuck it I feel like chatting. :D

The Discovery romance with the gay doctor and the gay chief engineer, I can't stand that shit, it is SO cringe.

Voyager is just fucking horrible. The crew sucks. Janeway sucks. I would have chosen half the women on the planet over Janeway.

DS9 seemed pretty bad, and would probably have died if they had not started the Dominion War. Granted that's when my watching of the show really went up and I didn't watch a lot of the pre-Dominion War.

Also don't think this is controversial but: the movies (except First Contact) were bad/trash.

I hated Ezri (sp?) Dax.
Odo was probably not a good fit for DS9.

Discovery (from what I've seen of just over 1 season) is way too Michael Burnham focused.
The Discovery has somewhat of a lack of good characters, which is exacerbated by the heavy focus on Burnaham.

I stopped watching TNG because of the Season 1 episode "Code of Honor" which kind of seems racist. I later returned to watch TNG because there was nothing good on and I didn't have access to internet at the time.

It was much longer than that…it was weeks and possibly more. Plenty of time for “real love” whatever that is.
 
Should be pretty obvious. I'd say the worst part is how effeminate they both are.

Well, the only thing that’s obvious is the homophobia.

We do not allow that here. I would strongly suggest you re-think how you approach this community since you’re so new. Otherwise you won’t be here for long.

Maybe not long at all. You’ve earned a warning for trolling. Drop this crap. Now.

I mean if the site owner allows biased moderation then maybe I won't be here long. You allow pro-gay censorship and trolling, but you don't allow someone to fight back against it. That's the crap.

*sigh*

Okay we’re going to do this, are we?

Posters are not allowed to argue moderator actions in thread, as it derails the conversation. I said “drop it” and I meant it.

In your experience, sure, but love at (nearly) first sight happens in the world, so it's really not so insanely far-fetched.
 
He's exploring the what ifs, not the remember whens. If he'd stayed in the Nexus long enough, eventually, he'd have moved on to exploring alternate choices he could have made, assuming he chose at least to be Enterprise captain anyway.
Per the Bartender: It was like being inside joy. As if joy was something tangible ...and you could wrap yourself in it like a blanket. And never in my entire life have I been as content.

I think Kirk's Nexus was broken. At least Picard seemed happy for a minute. (It was because his Nexus had better music. Go, Dennis!)

Maybe the Nexus was actually a benevolent force and it let Kirk and Picard go so they could stop Soran. (Is that really how you spell that?)
