Possibly controversial Star Trek opinions

Time to make some nerds REEEEEEE for no reason other than my own amusement...

1.) I prefer the on-screen version of the Ambassador class to the prototype version.

The prototype design that Andrew Probert created just looked weird to me. It could still have worked as one of many ships in the Starfleet, but not as a hero ship bearing the name Enterprise. The version that Rick Sternbach created for Yesterday's Enterprise works better in that role. It looks and feels like the kind of Federation heavy cruiser that would be produced as a successor to the Constitution and Excelsior classes. (While still retaining a lot of influence from both of them...)

Oh yeah... That there is sexy... 

2.) I liked the Kelvin Timeline movies. I hope they continue. It's nice to have the characters of Captain Kirk and his crew back in the movies.

This one is going to trigger the ever-lovin' shit out of quite a few people... That being said though, Discovery still sucks.

I would have done something different with the deflector dish and
spaced out the nacelles more. Other than that, this design was nice.

3.) I liked the story behind TMP as well, just because it was so damned weird. 

Not to mention it was as close to hard sci-fi as any of the Trek movies ever got. Haters be damned, this was a great story and movie, it just wasn't quite what fans had expected. They thought it would be as action-packed as a typical TOS episode. Roddenberry never had any intention of making that kind of movie. So, to the people who constantly criticize this film, all I have to say is that I am...

Leave it up to a legendary Shitlord like me to find a way to turn
the Enterprise going to warp into an insulting animated GIF meme...

4.) I liked Enterprise from the start.

I liked the design of the ship too, even if it was heavily inspired by the 24th century Akira class. That was all too easy to ret-con in canon. Just say the Akira was inspired by the NX-01. Problem solved.

Although, I do have to admit that the theme song of that show just plain sucked.

This was actually a pretty cool-looking ship.

5.) I liked Voyager BEFORE they got a buxom blonde with curves in all the right places onto the show in season 4. 

Also, I really wish they did more with the Starfleet/Maquis conflict among the crew. That was never explored in any great detail.

By the way, I am not complaining about 7 of 9 being on the show at all. I am very fond of that character. She was Voyager's equivalent to Spock, Data & Constable Odo: the alien outsider that in some ways is more Human than any of the other characters. Jeri Ryan did an amazing job with her on Voyager. Too bad that shitbag hack Alex Kurtzman ruined the character in that awful Picard show.

This character should have been named 10 of 10.

6.) The Federation does NOT have a Socialist economy. 

Anyone who thinks that is both pretty ignorant of economics and Star Trek trivia. I'll go into more detail about this topic in a separate blog someday. 

That being said, how could you think that the Federation was Socialist when the government does NOT have control over the means of production? For that matter how could the Federation's government take control over the means of production? With everyone having a replicator in their home, they could conjure just about anything they need or want out of thin air.
