Spoilers Section 31 General Discussion Thread

[The Wormhole]

Tricorder smart phones are an ABOMINATION to this franchise and rather BLATANTLY PISSES ALL OVER GENE'S VISION. If ever there was proof that the franchise needs STAR TREK LEGACY under the stewardship of the LORD TERRY MATALAS this is it.

Check out my YouTube video, where all the RANDOM CAPITALIZED AND BOLDED WORDS are depicted as me raising my voice to different pitches.

LORD TERRY MATALAS

The insane expectations on this man means he'll find them impossible to live up to if he ever comes back to Trek and the fans will turn on him. Just look at how Star Wars fans turned on Dave Filoni.

I really do love her in the role

 

[137th Gebirg]

Me too. She was probably the best part about the whole movie, IMO. If anything positive comes out of this thing, it would be a Garrett spin-off showing her rise through the officer cadre, to her eventual assignment to the E-C. I think she could easily do it. Start the series with her leaving S31 behind, symbolic of the franchise leaving S31 behind.

 

[Michael]

Agreed, I would love for Rohl to be able to reprise and expand the role in some way, preferably with a different set of writers and not as part of this whole Section 31 deal. Same with Omari Hardwick and Sam Richardson, actually.

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

Honestly, I would not have a problem with seeing more Garrett, Alok and Quasi. Zeph too actually, if they could make him less ridiculous looking... and dead.

The casting was not the issue with this film and I think this group could shine with better writers and direction in a story that had nothing to do with Section 31.

 

[Yistaan]

Give Garrett her own Enterprise-C show and then undermine Yesterday's Enterprise by showing that Garrett knew all along what would happen because she looked at a Klingon time crystal.

I would give the cast a second chance too, as they were simply given wobbly material to work with. But, I don't think they'd drop the Section 31 aspect at this point.

They could flip the story on its head and have Alok and Quasi being seconded to the Starship that Garrett was third officer on. On a "need-to-know", sort of thing.

He has a twin brother named Aelph.

He has a twin brother named Aelph.

What about Bet and Gimel?

 

[Michael]

I kinda wondered about the significance of Zeph’s name. I thought it was maybe a shortened version of Zephram?

Given how shallow most of this script is, I bet you're probably putting more thought into his name than the final writer did.

 

[Trekker4747]

Wait, that's supposed to be Rachel Garret?

 

[I am not Spock]

absolutely, i wouldn't mind seeing more of Rohl as Garrett. She deserves better material

 

[137th Gebirg]

Wait, that's supposed to be Rachel Garret?

Yes.

 

[Trekker4747]

Yes.

Sigh.

 

[The Wormhole]

"Sigh?" She was easily the best thing about this movie. Granted, that's not a high bar.

 

[Tosk]

I believe (but could be wrong!) they are sighing at the specific detail that she was Rachel Garrett rather than the actor or performance. Though those things may or may not be sigh-worthy too.

(I for one liked her for the most part, slightly less so during the climax, and then not at all in the final scene.)

 

[Firebird]

"Sigh?" She was easily the best thing about this movie. Granted, that's not a high bar.

I would say Sam Richardson was easily more memorable than Garrett's cookie-cutter Starfleet stock character.
