I’ve always found that a lazy excuse as people manage to tell non-fiction stories without “stepping on canon” despite there being a whole hell of a lot more human history over a 87 year old fictional universe (in DC’s case).
I don’t exactly agree with that. They *shouldn’t* be just the same as people today (which Lower Decks 100% *is* to the point they call it out in the SNW crossover as they are visibly off from the SNW crew)
I’m not saying you need to be absent all conflict because yeah that was pretty awful and...
Yeah, people/writers love to bring up “realism” when it comes to propping up Utopia with a seedy underbelly but somehow Q, nebula babies, warp drive, transporters, replicators, Warp 10 evolution lizards, etc always seem to manage a pass.
I hate Section 31 not DS9
And yeah, Section 31 has always been a “realism” bit which seems to to manifest solely when it comes to Humanity moving beyond their base desires rather than the “magical man and his Mariachi band.”
I strenuously disagree with that.
DS9 let Section 31 infect the Founders AND had the Federation Council (not just Starfleet) explicitly ok such Genocide. They also got off scot free outside of Sloan dying. There were no tribunals, no resignations, etc. The DS9 writers quite clearly portrayed...
They certainly have plenty of time since I doubt we’ll be getting a follow up until 2026 due to the strike.
Might not even be on Paramount+ at that point…
Yeah, I’m struggling to see the geopolitical upside here.
Granted, if *I* or a member of my family were held prisoner in Iran I’d doubtlessly be a lot more stoked.
