#Section 31 is the dumbest idea in the history of Star Trek

[freepassbound]

Anyway, I just really hope that -

A: this isn't the wind falling out of the "New Age of Trek" sails, and that they keep coming up with new and great shows...

and, relatedly -

B: they keep exploring the Discovery universe in the 32nd Century. Trek needs new frontiers to explore - and right now none of the other shows are doing that... they're all callbacks.

#which can be nice! #but... again with the ecosystem metaphor #you need a diversity of shows #you can't have *all* nostalgia #or maybe a gustatory reference #humankind does not live on in-jokes alone #I hope they *don't* make the Section 31 show 😬 #because while Michelle Yeoh is an awesome and magnificent actress #Section 31 is the dumbest idea in the history of Star Trek #and has already been massively overused #even the rumored 'Starfleet Academy' series with Tilly #while a nice-sounding idea #would still be derivative of Discovery #give me something brand-new #(and well-written) #Trek stuff #free thoughts
