What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

I liked the hand Phasers...

Even as a non-American I could see the ICE storyline in season 2 wasn't an exaggeration even when it was airing.

It wasn't that hard.

PIC Season 2 is a dumpster fire, but it was spot-on about ICE.

 

[Set Harth]

So it was a season of ICE and fire?

 

[GhoulEddie74]

In a way, very much so.

It was clear when they made it that they expected Trump to win the coming election. You also had Stewart saying things like (paraphrase) "The time for Star Trek's optimism has passed." Yeah, this is so much worse than 1968 or WW II. (EDIT. <-- THAT WAS SARCASM!)

Not true, LIFEFORCE actor. And that above statement was an insulting admission of defeat. But when one's characters surrender very quickly in their pilot episodes to funny-hatted.....no, too easy.

Hell, there's one line in that dumpster fire season that is far and away the best bit of writing Picard managed to pull off:

"This century? It took off the hood and put on a suit."

Probably one of the most succinct descriptors of what we're seeing in America of late.
