/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

There's a world in which someone takes the Section 31 plotline and spins it out into a compelling Star Trek storyline. But it's where Section 31 is basically Specter to the Starfleet Rebel Captain's James Bond. They could have even done it with NuTrek, if they'd left Into Darkness on a cliffhanger (Khan Noonien Singh remains commander of the Enterprise, while Kirk and Spock have to do spook shit to stop him before he takes down Star Fleet from the inside).
If you're feeling squirrelly, you can do a Hitman style story arc, where you introduce a fresh new character/team doing Le Epic Spycraft Shit in the first Act, realizing the moral hazard of the agency in the second Act, and going through a redemption arc in the third Act. Presumably with some handful of Star Fleet cameos operating as the protagonist's Jiminy Cricket.
Instead, we get some kind of Space Charlie's Angels, where the Gene Roddenbery story beats are all tossed in the trash and it's just generic cowboy sci-fi with Starfleet badges.
Similar could be said of Assassin's Creed. Cast, check. Budget, check. Writing...
