Conflict in Discovery
- Thread starter The Overlord
- Start date
Either way is fine with me, as long as the characters are good. I liked the characters on both TOS and TNG. There can be friction, as long as it's not forced or childish, such as on shows like nuBSG or Stargate Universe.
but, more sex
And flying dragons.
There could be a hot border conflict on-going, similar to the Federation-Cardassian little difficulty.
On the other hand, in the 2250's the Empire and the Federation might have a gentle relationship. Ah politics.
Not a given, a lot can change in a decade.

I just don't want any conspiracies in the Federation. If there will be again this old tired theme, where Starfleet officers have different opinions about how to handle alien enemies, be it more peaceful and diplomatic vs. militaristic and aggressive, don't turn the later into moustache twirling villains, who happily sacrifice the lives of innocent Federation citizens and who conspire up some evil schemes behind the backs of everyone else.
It if fine, if there is some politic and military disagreement, but please don't make their portrayal so black and white. Also let people voice their opinions openly and work politically to gain acceptance and the majority opinion. The Federation is suppose to be a democracy, where people can voice their opinions openly. That should also be true for unpopular opinions. There shouldn't be a need for conspiracies all the time.

The characters should be humans relatable to current day. Kirk, Spock and McCoy disagreed, argued, bickered but got the job done. The Discovery crew should, too.
I was being ironic.
So this takes place on Berengaria VII?
Or Shore Leave world.
In that case it would be some weird Victorian Christmas in which the kids play with Colonial Marine drop-ships from Aliens.
For a taste of conflict on the show, it would be interesting if while the Federation Council uses democratic procedures, many (most?) of the Federation Member worlds are not themselves democracies.
Oligarchies (Ardana?), chiefdoms (Vulcan?), monarchies, ecclesiastics, cybernetic, meritocracies, and such.
Oh, and a few democracies too.
Think about it, the officers will be from many separate worlds, societies, cultures. A few years in an academy isn't going to alter who they are and where they came from.
The Federation is only several decades old.
But we also shouldn't see the crew being "forced" to all have a common philosophy, and adhere to a single intellectual doctrine.
And no sex. Future humans will have evolved beyond possessing actual genitals.
Ah yes, "evolution."

Hahaha! No sex and no genitals? Sounds like a future worth living for!!
Leave the conflict to us Trek fans. We'll show you the true meaning of the word conflict! 
I would like a protagonist vs. nature style arc for the show. Regarding relationships between the characters, including intership and interfleet communications, I'd like conflict to revolve around principled disagreements between peoples that share similar goals, even if the goals appear intractably different at first. In other words, I'd like it to be in the tradition of the best of Star Trek's conflict resolution allegories.
Kidnap two opposition leaders, and seal them in a underground cavern with a dwindling air supply.
