    Must There Be A Section 31?

    Probably because the rebellion is fighting a dirty war against a fascist Empire from a position of weakness, the Rebels of course take inspiration for the VietCong. The Federation meanwhile is an interstellar superpower, the rules tend to be different and not only does S31 go against the values...

    Must There Be A Section 31?

    A better comparison would be the Safari Club, a group of effectively rogue operatives from the CIA and other western agencies who went off the books for their criminal and illegal activities in their narrow and wrong conception of the US’ interests often capitalist interests.

    Must There Be A Section 31?

    Oh no, no major power has ever needed a criminal outfit like the CIA! The disgusting criminal outfit was not needed and should never have been formed, it’s been a cancer on democracy across the world and in the US. It knowingly used Nazi propaganda masquerading as intelligence to justify...

    Must There Be A Section 31?

    Really? I'd say DS9 actually disporved that. Their witchunt against Bashir would embaress James Jesus Angleton and he was a paranoid fool! Their plot to position Koval at the Tal Shiar didn't do anything to affect relations and may have made things worse, as we see in Nemesis relations between...

    Must There Be A Section 31?

    You should look closely at the CIAs record, not only was it unneccessary it has proved far more dangerous the US than the USSR ever was

    Must There Be A Section 31?

    No absolutely not no agency like Section 31 should exist, they are by their nature destabilising and more likely to cause the problems than deal with them. I mean look at the CIA, Al McCoy pretty clearly shows the links between the CIA and the Heroine trade, MKULTRA was inflicted on US Citizens...

    Spoilers Season 3 wild speculation

    My understanding for Seven not being in Starfleet was that she gave up because of the Borg thing, Janeway tried to bat for her but Seven gave up and joined the Rangers. The way Season 2 handles Jean Luc provides a bit of an answer for why he and Beverly never went anywhere, he failed to let her...

    Spoilers Coda Trilogy Discussion Thread

    Except Riker has done nothing but act like a complete unstable lunatic for the past half book with completely obvious mental lapses while basically throwing a tantrum on the bridge plus’s illegally detaining the Captain and CMO after they relieved him of duty

    Spoilers Coda Trilogy Discussion Thread

    In full view of the entire senior staff he refuses orders from his President and the chief Admiral, they should have ended that ridiculous plot tumour then and there at the latest

    Spoilers Coda Trilogy Discussion Thread

    Okay I’ve just got to the Earth destruction part of book 3, how the freaking hell is Riker still in charge after refusing direct orders from both the President and the Admiral of the Fleet. Given Akaar’s last order to relieve him why does annoy one on Titan follow his commands?

    Spoilers Coda Trilogy Discussion Thread

    I think it makes perfect sense, he spent almost half a decade crossed who knows how many lines trying to save lives. He was party to and responsible for the creation of the synths, literary creating that ‘race of disposable people’ he found horrifying in TNG. and it all went wrong, millions are...

    I’m sorry but how in anyway shape or form was Picard out of character in his show?

    Spoilers Coda Trilogy Discussion Thread

    Okay some I'm reading them through a second time and I have still have a mixed reaction, at times it feels almost like 'bad fanfiction' yet most of its brilliantly written. First thing, it's not the kind of story I would have thought of telling but I can see why the authors gravitated to it and...

    Spoilers Coda: Book 3: Oblivion's Gate by David Mack Review Thread

    I’m half joking, seriously though in Star Trek II Saavik is a fully realised character who has ambitions, drives and failings. By Star Trek III all she does is deliver exposition, her emotional outbursts are gone as if they were never there, even without the recast you could just call her a...

    Spoilers Coda: Book 3: Oblivion's Gate by David Mack Review Thread

    Like how bring Spock back in Star Trek III requires the Enterprise's destruction and David's death oh and the complete destruction of any character Saavik had reducing her to a cardboard cutout to give exposition.

    What's the worst non-canon decision in the history of Trek?

    I’m of the same opinion regarding Destiny and I like most of the novel verse although I disagree with basically every creative decision with the post Destiny DS9 books. Out of interest what do you dislike about Picard season 2, I’ve seen other people say they have a negative opinion, with no...

    Novels that would make great movies

    Feature Films: Destiny trilogy could probably be cut down by minimising the Columbia scenes Ex Machina as a sequel to TMP Serpents Amongst the Ruins The Buried Age Engines of Destiny The Q Continuum Articles of the Federation Mini Series / arc-heavy TV series: Vanguard series DS9...

    Characters in relationships

    Yep all they had was a one off fling, the only woman Worf married was Jadzia

    Shouldn't have done that

    One he completely forgets about while his on his death bed, While we can all make fun of just how bad a father Sarek is, maybe not quite as bad as Worf, I don’t see him as that bad. Unification strongly suggests that Spock is his last living child with Michael lost, Sybok dead Spock is...
