They could've eventually addressed that issue later on.
And that has caused needless problems that still arise to this day.
It's been Hit & Miss IMO.
That's what fandom is about.
What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

Hey, don't talk about Jim Kirk like that!
The Klingons are the least of my issues with Disco. (My issues with Disco are not huge.)
When Lora Johnson passed a way I did a decently deep dive on 70's and 80's fan history, both official and not. You know what was a very common thread? A WAR WITH THE KLINGONS IN THE 2250's!
I love that he's so upfront with "I knew EXACTLY what I was unleashing."
It seems that complaining is the first activity that fans must complete for their Star Trek fan card.Have you met fandom?

Or Star Wars card. Or Doctor Who card.
I wasn't talking about Jim Kirk.
"We learn by doing."
Humor, it is a difficult concept.
That's true with "Nearly EVERY SINGLE" fandom in existence.
Unlike Sports Events, you don't see Trek Nerds or Star Wars Nerds cause city wide property damage after a major sporting event.
Regardless of if their sports team wins/loses.
It wasn't funny to me.
Grand Theft StarShip?
Not to hear the cast of The Acolyte tell it.
I laughed.
I'm laughing right now, but for completely different reasons.
Even better with strobe-lighting.I liked the Disco Klingons.
I'll raise you a controversial opinion inside of a controversial opinion!
I ship Chakotay and Seven of Nine, and prefer the pairing over Janeway/Chakotay. I also think Icheb could have been worked into something resembling an interesting character. There is a small but strong base of Trekkies for both of these points.
But I also have unpopular opinions within that fanbase: C7 and Icheb were both underdeveloped onscreen, and killing that relationship and Icheb respectively were understandable decisions that dont majorly impact my enjoyment of the new shows.
Furthermore, Seven's romance with Raffi is better written than any of her Voyager romances; and Elnor is basically a more interesting version of Icheb.
It's a controversial opinion inception! Or a "contraception!"

Remember when Star Trek fandom was about bringing Star Trek back
I still hold to the belief that the only other character Seven of Nine had chemistry with was The Doctor.
I always thought their My Fair Lady lessons about humanity was one of the best parts of character interaction on Voyager, since it was the "blind leading the blind" with a hologram trying to teach a Borg how to be more human.
Beyond that, I always loved that it was the Borg learning to be human who is shown to be more empathetic and human towards The Doctor than either Janeway or the rest of the "evolved" human crew. It is Seven of Nine that fights Janeway to give The Doctor his autonomy rather than doing the computer science equivalent of a lobotomy when the Doctor's program has problems dealing with his own choices.
I also think this is one of the most romantic moments Voyager ever did.
Mixed bag
Yeah. I feel the same. I just don't see 10 year old watching and being inspired by DISCO or SNW.
On the other hand, PRO might inspire kids.
DISCO isn't targeted at 10 year olds. Of course, neither was TOS or TNG. The advantage TOS/TNG had was it was still wholesome enough the whole family could enjoy while DISCO or SNW are from the 21st century where entertainment for adults must have heavier profanity than "Damn" and the gore/violence be something some parents don't want their children exposed to.
Ultimately I blame the modern streaming format. Barely enough episodes a season to wet ones whistle and it's not easily accessible unless one has a Paramount+ subscription. Too many options exist today so why would a kid even seek it out?
Yes, I do. I was so sad when Phase 2 was cancelled. Watching time and time again through the daily reruns of TOS.
Yes. So wholesome that my mom turned it off, and one scene gave me nightmares for a bit as a kid.
