Except that Trump-style government will have negative knock-on effects on the Canadian status quo, and people will inevitably blame the current administration for that...
Is the "concierge" mentioned here likely to make a difference?
Rowan does really great work, both with Trek-related content and his other stuff. Never a disappointment.
In "Terra Firma" she literally goes back and tries to do things differently.
Needing to "ask for redemption" suggests there's a higher power administering cosmic judgment, which is another tenet of the ethos I was unaware of.
Yeah, I guess I forgot that the central tenet of Star Trek is that people are either Good or Bad, and there's no room for change or improvement.
The idea that a person can do horrible things but still try to reject their old ways and do things differently is against everything that Star Trek stands for?
I really don't think that's how it works.
They announced the pivot to a streaming movie in April 2023.
I dunno, from what we've seen on DS9 and Enterprise, Section 31 is willing to recruit operatives to fulfil their goals - we saw that in Malcom Reed and Bashir as Starfleet personnel, but also Koval, who was a Romulan agent.
A S31 agent like Alok Sahar, who operates outside the Federation and has the authority to recruit people to achieve the ogranization's goals, makes a kind of sense to me. A Deltan and a Chameloid both make sense from a spycraft perspective.
If anything, this iteration of S31 could show a progression from the out-in-the-open, "special forces" iteration of the group that we saw in Discovery, to the complete disavowal of DS9.
Great to see Mary Chieffo's name in the credits.
Sam Witwer, too - he stepped in to play Tenavik in place of Kenneth Mitchell in Star Trek Online a few years ago, but otherwise hasn't appeared in Star Trek since "Enterprise."
