/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Given the merger, I'd say they're more akin to...
The Section 31 movie was pretty bad but who knows — maybe it will be remembered just as fondly by people 50 years from now as Blackenstein (1973) is today.
WTF is Blacken.. oh, I see
There was an article were the author argue that the new Section 31 movie could only bomb since they scrapped what was Section 31. They’re not hero’s, they’re villains
There's a world in which someone takes the Section 31 plotline and spins it out into a compelling Star Trek storyline. But it's where Section 31 is basically Specter to the Starfleet Rebel Captain's James Bond. They could have even done it with NuTrek, if they'd left Into Darkness on a cliffhanger (Khan Noonien Singh remains commander of the Enterprise, while Kirk and Spock have to do spook shit to stop him before he takes down Star Fleet from the inside).
If you're feeling squirrelly, you can do a Hitman style story arc, where you introduce a fresh new character/team doing Le Epic Spycraft Shit in the first Act, realizing the moral hazard of the agency in the second Act, and going through a redemption arc in the third Act. Presumably with some handful of Star Fleet cameos operating as the protagonist's Jiminy Cricket.
Instead, we get some kind of Space Charlie's Angels, where the Gene Roddenbery story beats are all tossed in the trash and it's just generic cowboy sci-fi with Starfleet badges.
Similar could be said of Assassin's Creed. Cast, check. Budget, check. Writing...
I was honestly impressed at how bad S31 was. It’s like… really bad. Like, I think they had to try to make it that bad.
Is that implying a high budget or something?
Dune infamously went well over budget and bombed. Whether Section 31 eventually becomes a cult classic is yet to be determined.
Oh come on, we all know the best it could hope for is the infamy equivalent of "cult classic". The movie people turn on to remember just how shitty corpo Hollywood butchered real classics. ... Assuming corpo Hollywood dies soon ... oh god, I hope it's soon...
You know its only going to get worse, its already dead but the dead baby spawn is making everything sooooo shite.

I got it! Let's mash Ocean's 11 with Temple of Doom, the attempted wit of Marvel, and characters who don't belong anywhere near a clandestine shadow organization.

Done, boss. Can I go on my break now?

That's it, my new headcanon is that Section 31 is made by the same Ferengi studio that did Pog and Dar: Cop Landlords.
Needs more product placement.
The way the colour scheme makes me think of The Watch is just 👌👌👌
