    I wish they took Section 31 more seriously.

    I’d settle for a highly produced, gritty Department of Temporal Investigations series though. With nested diabolical plot arcs exploring free will vs determinism and closed timelike curves from a fresh perspective.

      Section 31 can go fuck itself; a utopia does not need black ops. Otherwise star trek is a bunch of potato sack wearing communist squares lying throughout space.

        Who in their right mind thinks Star Trek is a utopia? It’s a post scarcity earth society. But hell, half the races that are admitted to the Federation are only there because they developed FTL travel. Each race (humans included) still have a whole boat load of issues. Greed, hubris, battle junkies, etc. There’s no way it wouldn’t exist to try to keep the facade of something better.

      Aren’t you tired of dark and gritty? I’m tired of dark and gritty. We’ve suffered 40 years of dark & gritty, ever since Bruce Bethke published “Cyberpunk” in 1983. It was fun for a few years, but it’s like a canker which never went away.

      I’d like optimism back again, please.
