Any Trekkie who thinks Section 31 is good doesn't know how to critique something/isn't a critical thinker.

They're the same as the cultist fans of Star Wars who go to those Celebrations and adore EVERYTHING Disney throws to the wall.

We watched Section 31 this weekend* and I'm confident I will never watch it again.

*My wife never made it past the first 30 minutes and she's the Trekie in this household.

Actually, I thought it got better right about the 30 minute mark. Not that it got good, but at least it found a plot it could stick with.

"...and that's AFTER we've done multiple seasons of shows where Section 31 is a major and normal player"

A shaky premise for a shaky cam special

A movie so bad not even Academy Award Winner Michelle Yeoh could salvage it. There's really no obligation to pay it, or any one from it, any attention at all.

DS9: Torture and extraordinary rendition are bad

Disco: How about that black leather though?

"A brighter future is not in the hands of the people, but with an unaccountable elite who bestow it upon their subjects" is both grim and incredibly stupid.

Whoever let Alex Kurtzman find out about the existence of Section 31 in canon is my mortal enemy

Why couldn't they make a goofy series about the temporal directive people? They were fun in Voyager.

Whoever didn't wait a month or two for Bryan Fuller to be available should be the first against the wall when the revolution comes, alongside the marketing department of the Sirius Cybernetics C.

Sometimes I feel like JJ Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci are like on a mission to shit on everything I love

Why does this sound like somebody who would think torture works and that Jack Bauer is entirely vindicated all through 24?

Probably their inspiration, or maybe the same people who turned Jack Ryan into a murder hobo

dvdbutler.bsky.social•35 days ago

Wow they really ran with that huh? (I’ve been away from Trek for many years)

Somehow, the Emperor returned.

This is the worst Star Trek movie ever, stupid jokes, bad acting, totally not a clue what the story is about and the story jumps everywhere except for the logic path

commonsensecure.bsky.social•35 days ago

Guess they didn't want to wait for AI to come up with this idiotic premise.

As much as people praise it, DS9 laid the groundwork for the utopian vision of trek to be drowned in a bathtub and replaced by a bog standard right leaning sci-fi franchise wearing its skin.
