There was a core of a pretty interesting and even good idea there, but man, did Goldsman and Matalas completely foul up the execution.
What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?
- Thread starter Amasov
- Start date
Unresolved immigrant plot, turning Raffi and Seven into bickering exes, and undermining the fundamental thesis of Past Tense (humans would find courage to respect each other and push progress) : which of these were good ideas?
And the Soong/Kore plot.
What was the point of that one?

To give the Soji actress and Brent Spiner more work. 
I like Picard Season 2, just not enough to defend it.
Controversial Opinion which isn't one I've posted over and over again: I think Starfleet Academy will turn out pretty good. It'll be better than people expect.
There. I said it. We'll see how well this post ages, once it's out.

As with lots of time travel you always have the fish out of water appeal. The idea of a Borg Queen assimilating people also gives you some "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" horror possibilities and having Q become the President of United States to secretly help out because he is dying and wants one more adventure with his old friend Picard.
They did.Could they really do any worse?
The footprint, but not the boot. Absolutely.
I can support this.
I think the only show that I had not a glimmer of optimism for was Section 31. And even then I hoped I was wrong.
OK, I might not have been too fired up over Lower Decks. Really, I'd rather be wildly wrong about a great show than spot on the money about a bad one.
So, sure. I can certainly see Academy turning out to be a pretty cool show.
The love for Picard 3, especially from the people who seem to hate everything else, baffles me.

Agreed. There was a lot of potential there in the premise and the setting, but they didn't properly explore any of it, instead choosing to make a generic, shlocky, sci-fi action-adventure movie.
I think that was the thing I was most frustrated about. They absolutely wasted The Lost Era setting.
I was so frustrated and disappointed with it that I had to write a series of fanfictions to "make it right" in my head. I used the era to explore things like the rising threat of the Cardassian Empire and the early days of the Bajoran occupation. I also touched on Georgiou's willingness to rely on extreme measures and Garrett's mitigating influence on her (and vice versa) and finally connected the whole thing to Garrett's fate at Narendra III.

Sometimes the fans think that the Powers That Be screwed it. Maybe they've wasted the storyline, or they went for the obvious when a better solution should have been favored. Maybe they didn't focus on a certain character enough. Maybe they've …

I live in hope of someday revisiting the Lost Era onscreen, though after the performance of Section 31 I suspect the only way they're going to roll those dice again is with Young Picard on the Stargazer.

Although, I didn't actually try to "fix" the movie. I let it stand exactly as it is and just moved on from it.Similar threads
