You can tell your Section 31 stories and they can still hold to the ideals of Star Trek but dear merciful god in heaven you can’t ask me to rally behind Mirror Universe Space Hitler who built a uh oh bomb and then crack quips like your Joss Whedon loaded up on a cocaine bender. - ThreadSky

Remember when Section 31 were categorically the villains, and the revelation there was a rogue intelligence agency operating within The Federation was justifiably horrific? 'member when we were clearly meant to reject their 'ends justify the means' rhetoric? I remember that shit.

No one outside of the ds9 writers(OK maybe the star trek online writers too) understand how to make use of section 31.

All that to say I’m really not in the mood for humanizing fascist, I don’t want to see them sassy walk n talk through a fight scene and dog any voice of reason as being uptight. I don’t want their horrid history of torturing people to be the good guys ace in the hole. I don’t want that ever.

The beautiful thing about Star Trek is at its best it paints a picture we should all aspire to, even when its just good it can make us ask questions of ourselves that reveal our character. Fuck when its bad it can be corny fun. I don’t know what the fuck this is. I’m so dead serious in Trek I know..

But I won’t apologize for that. Ben Sisko has been my north star in very troubling times - he helped me as much as some real people I know so I beg the question: in a franchise where you can tell any story in the world why are we watching a story of a “Nobel Nazi”

Kudos to the cast and crew on this it looks amazing and in another time maybe I’d have vibed with it, but it’s not another time - its here now, and it shouldn’t be. As a movie guy I’m giving this 3/10 as a Star Trek fan its catching a hard 0

I’m just relieved it’s only a movie and not a ten episode series.

I love michelle yeoh so much, but her character worked in Disco bc it was in the backdrop of Disco’s general star trek optimism about the future. People have been so excited for this in comparison to like… star trek: academy. And like… but an academy show is so much more star trek!

Exactly. I meed hope delivered right into my veins not bad guys chasing worse guys.
