Michelle Yeoh section 31 movie could work as follows: Section 31 was the only place in this universe where I fit in, but after confronting my past and the guardian of forever, I know no place where I fit in should be allowed to exist, so I'm taking it down.

She teams up with Bashir and the Lower Decks crew to take down Will Boimler and the last vestiges of Section 31.

She walks in, they give her a "Secret Intelligence Order That Can't Officially Exist" badge to help identify her as a member of the Secret Intelligence Order That Can't Officially Exist Organization, she says,"That's loving stupid, I'm leaving, this is stupid", roll credits.

That was already a lower decks gag when Will Boimler joined S31.

Gravitas Shortfall posted:I bet the Gorn are saying something like "intelligent ape aliens that have warp drives and space suits but also somehow surrender to instinct and risk galactic war just to rescue their breeding partner" I was into HFY for a bit there before I started to find all the reddit writing incredibly same (e: and the whole "we're just fantastic at killing" trope it often indulges in gets pretty gross after a while), and I realized what I actually liked about it isn't so much "Humanity gently caress Yeah", it's when humans are written as being just as weird as everything else out there in ways we don't normally consider because we're embedded in it.

Animal-Mother posted:Small town America is literally cursed. Right, but this wasn't small town america, this was cosplay america. Same as grandma Crusher's Scottish cosplay colony where they moved actual stones from lovely historic buildings in Scotland to a different planet. It was more like a Medieval Times restaurant than the thing it was pretending to be. I wonder what media survived the wars that the would-be colonists fell in love with? Something like Miracle on 34th Street or The Andy Griffith show seems like the obvious answer. I prefer to think a cache of Hallmark Channel movies survived and are considered classics by these colonists.  Oh yeah. This is the vision that led these people to abandon their homes and start a colony outside federation space.

BUT having stuff like that (eg rome world and whatever) fits the TOS feel so eh, whatever.

MikeJF posted:No, that was just an event that happens: the mirror universe is darker stretching all the way back to probably roman times. And they mention in ENT that all the classics (except Shakespeare) are different. Still think that was a bad decision. The mirror universe stories are better if they are still potentially in our future. Examples of two different roads we could go down and us needing the choose the better one is a much more Trek style message.

I feel like the whole "This could be our actual future!" idea ran its course a long time ago. There's no reason - either in-universe or externally, from a storytelling perspective, that 'Star Trek,' or any fiction for that matter, needs to be so tied to the actual world.

Seems like a normal episode, until they beam away to the planet for an away mission and the transporter sparkles are multicoloured and a gust of snow blows through the transporter room. A particular jolly and sleigh bell heavy rendition of faith of the heart begins

The Golden Gael posted:None of the characters had real 'big swings' with their characterization either aside from M'Benga: Pike and Pelia were barely around, Una was basically the same as season 1 after the trial wrapped up, Spock's having an interesting enough go of it as he should be at this stage in life, Uhura was upset about Hemmer which is what I'd expect, and we still barely know anything about Ortegas. La'an gets to open up a bit but again that's not exactly a "big swing". I feel like the La'an-and-Kirk episode and then Flying Blind being La'an's song was a huge missed opportunity in retrospect. Ortegas in those narrative roles instead would have given her a ton of depth in a way that I think would have been more impactful than with La'an.

I am just forgetful enough to surprised that the adult Gorn was a completely practical effect rather than CG, the same way the infant Gorn also turned out to be practical effects and not CG https://twitter.com/StarTrekOnPPlus/status/1691132580337532928

Wow, I am legit surprised by that. The editing made it look like they were trying to cut around the actors not being able to really interact with the CGI, but it was an actual practical effect

I was playing with ideas for a series that could use the now-doomed Enterprise-F. Big ship. Big ship like that has to have a mall. And malls have....Mallrats. Kevin Smith Presents: Star Trek vs Mallrats. Episode 1: The Vulcan Stinkpalm.

To the extent that I always like to imagine this is how he always is, and they had to ask him "ok that was great but for this next take can you, like, act MORE human?" in Charades.
