Captain Holt: why is no one having fun!? I specifically requested it.
What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

- Start date
Chris Pine's Kirk told McCoy at least once their next missions would be fun.....after losing a truckload of nonames thanks to Khan and Admiral RoboCop.
I want to see a cook-off competition between Sisko, Pike and Chef from Enterprise judged by Miglemo.
Tuvix was a great cook as well. A vast improvement over what they were getting from Neelix.
SCOTT: (clutching at his heart and crying out in anguish) I canna go on! I'm tired of happiness. I'm tired of comfort and pleasure. I'm ready! Kill me! Kill me!
(They point their fingers at him and whistle. Scott slumps to his knees.)
SCOTT: Goodbye, cruel universe.
MCCOY: He's dead.
NORMAN: You cannot have killed him. You have no weapons.
KIRK: Scotty. Scotty's dead. He had too much happiness. But now he's happier he's dead, and we'll miss him. Let us hear it for our poor, dead friend.
(They laugh.)
KIRK: What is a man but that lofty spirit, that sense of enterprise, that devotion to something that cannot be sensed, cannot be realised but only dreamed! The highest reality.

Some kind of fusion cuisine?
Sisko would win.
I agree. It’s one thing to have the Millenium Falcon or R2-D2 zipping by for half a second in a fun Easter Egg. It’s another thing to have a TOS Connie shown prominently on display when it really has no business being there.
To say nothing of how the poor JJ-prise suffers by comparison.

Something something point of view.
I do like that DS9 tried really hard to show that Starfleet officers can and do have families and healthy relationships, and that serving in Starfleet doesn't have to mean sacrificing that and only engaging in one night stands.
It was kind of a extension of what they wanted to do when they had Chief marry Keiko on TNG in season 4.

There was a more moving memorable Alexander on an earlier, more exciting TREK.....even if many feel the episode went to far. But if it did, so did WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE.
How did Where No Man Has Gone Before go "too far?"
Well, women professionals DO tend to overcompensate.*
* This is a quote from the episode. It has not aged well. It is included here for humorous purposes. (And I love this episode anyway.)
