Annotations for Star Trek: Section 31 (SPOILERS)

Jump

  • If we’re going to take that last shot literally, Baraam is warp-capable

    Wow. Turns out I walked away after “Your Mama IV” and completely missed this final shot of the space station going to warp.

    Thanks, I hate it.

    • Why does the Terran Empire use the Hunger Games to choose a new emperor and how is one chosen as a competitor?

    Jump

  • I think mirror Burnham and Lorka tried to depose her way back in Disco S1, but maybe I am misremembering.

    I’m hung up on how utterly ridiculous the succession was portrayed.

    I like Star Trek and I’m trying to find the silver lining here, but I just come up empty handed.

  • I appreciate your thoughtful take. Maybe these are unavoidable contradictions when the simple premise of evil twins is stretched too far.

    Jump

  • It’s very unsatisfying.

    An empire overflowing with ambitious and unscrupulous climbers who have all decided to allow young Georgiou to have the crown.

    Ya let’s make the unhinged evil empire very civil and obedient so our protagonist actually back into the throne instead of actively seizing it. How convenient.

    Ultimately it feels like they want to have their cake and eat it too: Georgiou is the baddest bitch, but also she was just trying to survive man! She cried when she murdered her own family, under coercion and duress!

    I guess I liked her better when she was bonafide evil.

  • So the Terran empire runs some kinda hunger games for the next evil emperor… and the current evil emperor is just cool with abdicating I guess?

    I wish I could enjoy it, but it just feels so dumb to watch a fairy tale transfer of power in the most evil setting.

    • Anything that doesn’t demonize Israel gets banned

    Jump

  • My dude you’ve had the patience of a saint, which makes this final rebuke so fucking tasty 🌶️🔥

    • "Section 31" early review round-up

    Jump

  • Long answer, but good answer friend.

    This in particular is gold:

    in this future, humanity still succumbs to the pains and pitfalls of present-day life in a way that suggests we won’t grow out of them

    I thought Section 31 was some shit clinging to the bowl, but the writers keep assimilating it into the Star Trek matrix so much so that it implies the Federation of TNG is a naive facade 😔

    • Video: Meet the Section 31 Crew

    Jump

  • Viva Mintaka III 💪🏴 I love that episode for having primitive superstitious Vulcanoid aliens instead of generic humanoids.

  • We live in a world that has walls federation worlds, and those federation worlds have to be guarded.

    Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Barclay?

  • lol I’m dying 🤣😆, thank you

  • I’ve begun singing it at the start of every trek intro

    • The Official Philippa Georgiou backstory from the Star Trek YouTube channel

    Jump

  • she was chosen to rule the Terran empire

    Administer 15 mg of damnatio memoriae to the previous regime, stat!

    • I finished watching DS9... again.

    Jump

  • Which episodes do you find the most timeless?

    • Modlog: Will not tolerate blind alignment with Luigi Mangione

    Jump

  • What do we usually call the method of killing people to send a political message?

    “we” is carrying a lot of weight because one man’s ‘terrorist’ is another man’s ‘freedom fighter’

    • Klingon Theology Question: "When I say jump out of an airlock, you will JUMP OUT OF AN AIRLOCK!"

    Jump

  • How about a Worfian view on on honor:

    In war, there is nothing more honourable than victory.

    Worf would absolutely jump out an airlock, drunk on honour, if it would actually mean victory.

    But Worf wouldn’t jump out just to die for Gowron’s lulz.

    • Please advise on this conversation we had over on c/Piracy. Transporters and replicators, basic operating principles?

  • I have never seen so much monotone reading of dialogue. Renegade Soval carried every scene he was in, so at least there’s that.

    Thanks for opening my eyes to something new 🍻

    • Let's just move a whole community to a new instance without asking!

    Jump

  • Locking up the community on they’re way out may have been well coordinated, but it isn't well received.

    It feels a lot more like capitalism than community: Listen up, I own the deed to this community and my property rights are supreme.

    I guess I joined lemmy just in time for all the chisme 🫖☕

    Edit: a word

    • [Discussion] What are your top 5 favourite weapons in any soulslike and how would you rank them?

    Jump

  • I'm just an elden ring pleb, so here goes:

    1. Bloodhound's Fang: Insane stat scaling, great bleed buildup, great moveset, and top-tier ash of war (I love free aiming the followup in pvp)
    2. Bloody Pike with Braggart's Roar paired with Redmane Greatshield with Barricade Shield: Super fun for coop on promised consort radahn.
    3. Antspur/Frozen Needle paired with Silver Mirror Shield: Swap between weapons to buildup rot and cold, light roll when you don't want to block because these items are almost weightless.
    4. Lordsworn's Longsword with Square Off, using both hands: maybe Square Off is just OP, but it is very fun to use.
    5. Bastard's Stars: Charged R2 winds up the ball-and-chain like a cartoon character winding up a punch. Hits like a truck, especially the Ash of War, and especially against golem-type enemies.
