What's the worst canon decision in the history of Trek?

You must be new.
You must be new.
To the world, to the franchise, or to this site?
Just a joke, hence the "
"I guess I'm an exception, I've never needed an in-universe explanation for why post TOS Klingons look different.
When I saw the new Klingon look in TMp when it came out, I hardly gave it a second thought. They had a movie budget, the art of makeup had been refined since the '60s and they weren't going to try to make everything look exactly the way they did in TOs. I didn't need Roddenberry to tell me they were always supposed to look that way.

The look of the Klingons has changed continuously since the end of TOS until now. I mean look at Worf example. His head is much more brutish in season one of TNG than in say DS9. I mean he no longer has that "eat a good book lately" look he sports in TNG.
Hell, it was constantly changing during TOS!
Star Trek is really good at selling the verisimilitude of continuity.
Heck, Koloth and Korax don't even look the same. They might as well be different people or something.

I've pondered this question for a little while ("worst canon decision")...
....Changing the Klingons in the 80s movies, and then canonically showing that they actually physically changed in the 80s movies in DS9.....is really high for me.
....Having Spock and Nero travel back to an 'alternate timeline' for the JJ-verse is another mess......

Why would they just give their tech to us?
as for the rest; forgetting technical advancements is par for the course with Trek. Starfleet officers should by all rights be immortal telekinetic superspeedsters in force field belts.
That's always been my assumption. Maybe those aliens from Enterprise with the holodecks finally joined the Federation while the Galaxy class was being designed and we got access to that tech with 200 years of further development.
Meh. The Enterprise explanation works fine for me.
I'd rather those take place in an alternate timeline than the main one (especially Into Darkness).
That will always stand out to me. It didn't need the wink-wink in DS9 and ENT further compounded the issue.
As I've long maintained, the better wink would have been Dorn appearing in TOS style Klingon make up and no one batting an eye.
Though I imagine a few fan meltdowns might have occurred.

My addition to the list is actually the decision NOT to canonize the Duane "Rihannsu" books. Best treatment of the Romulans EVER.
I don´t like to be nitpicker, but, hey, that is what this thread is for... This is the root of some trouble, that literature probably many times came up with more interesting and more realistic cultures than the screen did.
The crew staying in one role for decades, no transfers or promotions
Chekov and Scotty got out, but came crawling back. If there was a sequel to TUC, Sulu would somehow be back at the helm of the Enterprise.
