State an Unpopular Opinion
Now's your chance to defend the indefensible, if you will - give an opinion on Star Trek that goes against the popular opinion/might rub some Trekkies the right way.
Mine:
Kirk is the third best captain in Star Trek and Archer is the only captain of the group that didn't deserve to be court-martialed many times over
Neelix was the most likable person on Voyager
The Prophets were sanctimonious twats to a MUCH higher degree than the Q Continuum
The writing in TNG/DS9/VOY turned the Klingons into a boring frenemy

Re: State an Unpopular Opinion
I like the design of the NX-01. And you wanna know why it looked more futuristic? Because it was made in the mid-2000's!
Re: State an Unpopular Opinion
Enterprise had a great theme.

Re: State an Unpopular Opinion
I can get behind this. I can totally get behind this... it was a nice design, however derivative of the Akira Class. If, somehow, the series were produced chronologically, and we actually had Enterprise first, you'd really end up with a (production technology not withstanding) clear lineage.RK_Striker_JK_5 wrote:I like the design of the NX-01.

Re: State an Unpopular Opinion
The first two seasons of TNG are damn enjoyable television.

Completely agree with Season 2... Season 1 is borderline.Graham Kennedy wrote:The first two seasons of TNG are damn enjoyable television.
Here's something related:
Dr. Pulaski was a fantastic character portrayed by a fantastic actress.

The man dress from early TNG isn't stupid. He can pee faster than any other man. Defacate faster too.

That depends upon what you offended about. This statement, for example, offends me, so clearly it's wrong by your own definition?McAvoy wrote:Being offended by something does make you right.

Re: State an Unpopular Opinion
Man in a dress always amuses me. It seems to cause huge annoyance, even hatred. Yet women cross dress all the time without comment. Go back only 40-50 years and you'll find that a woman in trousers was completely unacceptable, now it's almost forgotten. Surely by the TNG era equality would be reached.Nutso wrote:The man dress from early TNG isn't stupid. He can pee faster than any other man. Defacate faster too.

and one that I agree with. I was ready for something different. And Faith of the Heart was perfect for the show. In a good way, mind.IanKennedy wrote:Certainly an unpopular opinion.Nutso wrote:Enterprise had a great theme.

Good point. Perhaps the Yamato would not have been destroyed if Donald Varley could have had his wang out quicker to piss out the plasma fires from the malfunctioning ship.Nutso wrote:The man dress from early TNG isn't stupid. He can pee faster than any other man. Defacate faster too.
