You know what would really teach me a lesson, a trilogy of Georgiou movies at least, possibly even leading into some sort of spinoff series. It is absolutely what I deserve.
Alex Kurtzman on streaming movies and the future of Trek

Yes, because Marvel Studios is the epitome of good business decisions right now.
Can I have my space Hitler with green skin, a bodysuit, and a pilot episode that makes space Hitler an entirely different but similar looking person so we can have a cheaper actress who we can trap in a good contract?
Also the only thing that'll feel like Trek soon is the Risa sitcom because we're definitely going to hit levels of pleasure planet not thought possible.
There are many themes from Mass Effect in Picard season 1.
Elements from Mass Effect in Discovery are mostly stylistic.
Extra-galactic AIs (Lovecraftian / Eldritch robotic tentacle AIs) that travel through a special anomaly/portal to the galaxy to wipe out all advanced organic live. Narrative climax: Destruction of the means to establish a portal.
Vision of extra-galactic AIs that wipe out all advanced organic live: Vision Prothean Beacon - Admonition
The visions of extra-galactic AIs that wipe out all advanced organic live can't be interpreted correctly and the protagonists need to find a way to fix that: Cipher - Vulcan/Android mind meld
The Admonition voice over uses basically the same talking points as the Catalyst in Mass Effect.
The Admonition voice over even sounded the same as the Catalyst kid in Mass Effect.
"Synthetics" / "Synths" instead of "Android" or "Artificial lifeforms".
Overview / Summary:
Visual "inspiration" from Mass Effect Picard:
Visual "inspirations" from Mass Effect in Discovery:
Visual "inspirations" from other IPs in Discovery:
I forgot to mention "The Three-Body Problem"/"Remembrance of Earth's Past": "Sophons" - "Fractal neuronic cloning"
Are you serious? A round bridge is ripping off Mass Effect???? Bro, do you even Star Trek?There are many themes from Mass Effect in Picard season 1.

A tall spindly alien? Bro, do you even SciFi?
Blue and gold uniforms?
Better case for Beyond than DISCO for those uniforms.
Yellow glowing graphics?
Neony Space Vegas??
Grey skinned alien?
Did you start watching science fiction yesterday?
Yeah, with the exception of extra-galactic space tentacle AI's, those are really reaching.There are many themes from Mass Effect in Picard season 1.

Mass Effect tended to be based off '70s and '80s science fiction artwork, especially the work of Syd Mead. That Picard, or any sci-fi, took inspiration from these works is hardly a rarity. Hell, half the sci-fi produced in the last 40 years looks like Blade Runner. Are they all rip offs?
I like how you have subtly changed "universe ending threat" and "Federation ending threat" acting like it's the same.
You're welcome. As I said, Star Trek is a big tent concept. It can tell many stories in many setting. Disagree?
And the problem with the Picard scene is what?
You and your ilk deserve Section 31.
What are you talking about? I love space Hitler in charge of space CIA. I love vanity projects to show an actress can sing. This is why I and many others got into Star Trek in the first place. The idea that things are bad and can NEVER get better without mass murder is a great message.
Roddenberry would be proud of the dimeless, pro-imperialist shows and movies being produced.
Cant answer? Seems a simple question. What is the problem with the Picard scene?
"My ilk" are fans of Star Trek. My own fandom goes back to 1966. Been with it through all the highs and lows.
Using Section 31 as some sort of gotcha is laughable. I gave it a very charitable "2". My jam is Strange New Worlds and taking down self-appointed gatekeepers.
I want you to put the two scenes side by side, show it to a person and ask them which one is from Star Trek.
It is.
IDIC is for for grommets.
So, I'm going to give you a suggestion: Realize that Star Trek is not only what YOU want. As others have said, Trek is a big tent. I thought Section 31 wasn't great. I didn't hate it as much as some but there certainly wasn't enough to get me to want to watch it again, maybe ever. But there is a lot of Star Trek since Kurtzman took over that I do enjoy. Does that make me less of a Star Trek fan than you? NO. It makes me a different Star Trek fan than you. Get over yourself. Get over your opinion. Life will be a lot easier if you don't take yourself so damned seriously.
Star Trek is not a big tent. It has a formula it followed for decades to great success.
There shouldn't be room for the nonsense the Transformers guy has brought and continues to bring. There used to be standards, people called out the pro-Iraq War nonsense with Enterprise when Braga was auditioning for 24 and stopped watching, it should continue to be that way.
