Ok so I’m near the end of Voyager, season 5, and wow this has to be the most optimistic of all Star Treks. Lmao at the idea that the state of Indiana somehow managed to support the construction and operation of the world’s first functional arcology by the year 2012.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

Also gives credence to my personal theory that Janeway's ancestor and Locke's dad are Locke's parents. Time travel.

Paramount creating a trek show about a specific subject is in no way related to the amount of love for that subject.

I think if I had access to a holodeck I’d use it for pretend murder more than pretend sex. I mean I can do pretend sex right now, in fact I’m doing it as I type this, but pretend murder, well that’s a horse of a different color.

All of the 24th Centuries replicator technologies are made possible by Riker molecules. Replicators were not around until then.

This is the real currency of Star Trek Federation. Collecting and distribution of the Riker molecule.

Environmentally-beneficial projects being held up by an old boomer clinging to his store and insisting the old ways are better is pretty accurate though. Give it ten years, he'd be an antivaxxer and trying to take horse medicine.

Part of it is that Michael Yeoh as the Terran Phillipa Gerogiou is a delight*, but the only time they can make more stories with her in the prime universe is the time between Discovery seasons one and two that she was with Section 31.

This is a case where this an interesting story to be told as the organization is slowly being subverted by CONTROL, but since the protagonist is an outsider it's not readily apparent what's normal spy shenainigans and what's due to the omnicidal AI from the future.

*YMMV, but the production team thinks she is.

Well don’t worry I thought about it for 2 more seconds and that can’t happen anyways since Section 31 exists in DS9 times

Section 31 in the hypothetical show could be a completely different beast than the Section 31 in DS9 - even without the passing of a hundred years, CONTROL murders essentially the entire organzation so zero insitutional knowedge gets passed down.

This means that Section 31 was, esentially, refounded by Ash Tyler - someone with the memories of a former Klingon terrorist. Which might explain some things.

I think you could do a Section 31 show, but it'd have to be a very specific format; You do it like an anthology series, with just a Sloane-type character as the audience perspective on an incident or situation they're assisting. You have no context on what the greater goal is, only watching them play spy to help/hinder the episode's plot. And only in the finale learn what all the dominoes tipping in various ways amounts to.

This is way better than anything the producers will come up with, if Section 31 actually comes to fruition. Which I'm not holding my breath for no matter the news cycle.

Could mix in a bit of classic Suicide Squad, have a team of spare O'Briens misfits and prisoners sent out to do the shady poo poo.

Still runs into the issue that Section 31 are the bad guys and even 'reformed' nothing that would ever be willing to use their name and legacy and the unaccountably could be worth existing. The only Section 31 series I could tolerate would be one dedicated to its eradication and its sins being made public for the Federation to grapple with face to face.

You could make a decent Starfleet Intelligence series like that though.

Nah, my thinking was more of the vein of DS9 Section 31, where you never really know if it existed outside of Sloane.
