Section 31 was Michelle Yeoh's idea
- Thread starter Charles Phipps
- Start date
The point was that these series are all the brainchildren of the secondary actors who are seeking to continue the gravy train.
I'd tune in to that sooner than I would a Section 31 show.
It will be curious to see what weight she will bring in terms of tone and style.
Oh wait, no, that's The Brady Bunch Variety Hour.
Or
Or is it?
Is all of Star Trek since Voyager just a series of holodeck Broccoli fantasias
did Barclay dream of Benny Russell or was the verse true? Did they both somehow combine their creative talents through the auspices of Brian Brophy?
Nah - everything since TNG's "Hollow Pursuits" has been a Holodeck fantasy dreamed by Lt. Barclay - get it RIGHT!Or

If Barclay created everything from the third season of TNG to the end of ENT, that would explain a lot.Nah - everything since TNG's "Hollow Pursuits" has been a Holodeck fantasy dreamed by Lt. Barclay - get it RIGHT!
Wait a minute... did I say that out loud?

EDIT: Except for DS9. That's all Benny Russell.

I'd definitely watch a show with Barclay.
But yes, I figure the show will go like this:
Section 31: "Kill baby Colonel Green!"
Tyler: "We can't kill baby Colonel Green!"
Empress will be, "Why don't we just murder the baby?"
Tyler: "Because STARFLEET!"
Empress: "Oh fine."
And then baby Colonel green will be redeemed by the power of idealism, thus averting World War 3.

So there... they're all good? The hidden heroes saving people in the dark? XD
He showed himself on the flagship, people saw him already XD
Except this one would have an audience.
So this is how they retcon not having WWIII in the Mid-21st Century! The things you have to do when even Real Life contradicts Canon...
I remember my time in high school. It was one huge Canon Violation. No Eugenics Wars.
I blame the Steve Jobs guy from Voyager.
It’s not like the plot that put her in the future made much sense in the first place.
Discovery hasn’t prioritized making sense in general, so I can’t see worrying about this particular handwave.

Actually, it follows consequences from episode to episode, which means it's the most making sense series of Star Trek.
And perhaps a mistake for a series that bears its name.
Of course, Discovery leaving the timeline and being classified is a big nod to all the fans complaining about it making no sense in the 23rd century.
Yup. I mean, I followed it anyway.
Sequential =/= sensible, necessarily. As I think we’ve seen.
Eh, I like DISCO.
Yeah it had bumps but all STs do.

I quite liked parts of season 2. But the writers have shown a willingness to sacrifice narrative logic for feels and flash, and that will always run contrary to my preferences.
I feel like this is a series that needs a complete series run so the show can breathe. Weirdly, I think DISCO is at its best when it's doing the one-shots like "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad" and visiting Religion Planet.
The exceptionally good Short Treks just reinforces my view on this.
