Right? We all know that the best tool for blending in is squeaky black pleather fascist cosplay.

Maybe section 31 is from the Terran Empire. Those guys seem to love black pleather.

I can hardly imagine a less appealing piece of Star Trek media than a Section 31 movie

But we could get more Georgiou!

Vulcan C-Span? My Dinner with Armus? A Section 31 series?

Seriously though, it kinda undermines the whole optimistic utopian future thing to credit it to a bunch of unaccountable fascists. But hey, at least we get to see more tedious backstabby pettiness from people slinking around in black pleather. And the people who whine that Star Trek is too woke will get their representation, I guess.

Those people don't deserve representation.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Those people already have their representation: TOS - Patterns of Force.

I bet Professor Gill had a white statue pfp on the starfleet message boards

I would unironically watch a Vulcan c span series. Make it a free YouTube series, say 5 minutes, once a week. I'd watch the hell out of that. A bunch of Vulcans pretending they're not angry, passing legislation. Especially if it was set way back in the past before the Romulans left, or way in the future after reunification. I'm not saying it would be everyone's cup of plomeek broth, but it'd totally be mine. Maybe a federation c span instead could be more interesting?

[–] buckykat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

A federation C-SPAN would have to be done really carefully to not be Berman'd.

It changed from a series to movie?

[–] jimternet@startrek.website 8 points 1 year ago

Yes. They’ve announced it as a direct to Paramount+ TV movie.

Joke's on you, those are just the low level s31 interns, whose job it is to distract you from the actual operatives.

[–] teft@startrek.website 9 points 1 year ago

And now I want a Section 31 lower decks show.
