and Trek has been going down hill since then.
Yeah, the last thing we want to see is technology used in a way that makes sense...
Yeah, that TWOK film, and all those TNG episodes post Season 3 were just terrible. That DS9 show never went anywhere and those Abrams' films were complete flops...
...wait...

Nope.
DS9 was some of the greatest Trek ever produced. Both hopeful and accepting of a universe that was cold, unforgiving and dangerous. Humanity in the 24th century IS a lot better and more tolerant and compassionate than it is now but it's not a utopia, nor should it be.
In order for that to be the case, the pinnacle of Star Trek would have to be TNG Season 1. That's an opinion I have to sharply disagree with.
Yeah I loved this scene. Don't know why everybody hated it?
I keep seeing this impression some people have that Discovery is filmed in BC. It's filmed in Toronto, over 4000 km away. And the new Section 31 show will be filmed in Mississauga, a suburb of Toronto.
Not that I expect anyone to be able to distinguish between a Vancouver accent versus a Toronto accent. I don't even know if I could.

Since I have never successfully completed that whole season I am going to have to agree with your disagreement here.
I have to disagree with the people calling the opener filler. I think it's going to turn out to be important to see exactly what the synths were doing before and during the Mars attack.
The most important thing being the Eye Glitch of F8 just before the piles of chit started hitting the fan.
You have a point.
My comment had nothing to do with where Enterprise is filmed, merely the fact that many current productions are filmed in Vancouver.
I don’t have a PVR and I only subscribe to the basic cable (the cable company provides a digital adapter that converts the digital to RF), so it’s either VHS or Betamax.Possibly taking the nostalgia factor a little too far with that VHS… On the other hand, awesome!
All I'm saying is that after TNG, everybody wanted a darker more brutal version of Star Trek where the Federation is corrupt and everybody is an insufferable <bleep>. I love DS9, but stuff like Section 31 proved that Trek had gone too negative and then the reboot happened. Picard is the first Trek in a long time to actually feel hopeful and that's because Stewart wants to go back to the original vision of Roddenberry.
Which vision and which Roddenberry?
Yeah but humanity should have evolved beyond secret genocidal death squads like Section 31. Good people forced to do very bad things is perfectly acceptable and very Trek and they should have stuck with that.
Unfortunately, SEX is, the easiest way to get someone to trust you.
(even in everyday living)
And shows quickly just how bad the villain is and how far they are willing to go in a TV Show/Movie.
I think part of what we're seeing is people (especially writers) love that deep-state spy mystery thriller stuff. Look at Kurtzman body of work and that theme keeps popping up. It's not that its a bad thing, but in many ways it pulls back to the themes from films like the Nolan Batman trilogy or Scarface. The only thing people love more than seeing a hero rise up is a hero being torn down and self destruct and then rediscover/redeem themselves.
