And I tend to agree with your last point, though I enjoyed Enterprise for the most part. I find it nearly impossible to watch seasons 1 or 2 episodes of Enterprise, I just find them excruciating to sit through. Exceptions are for a couple of season 2 ones, the Carbon Creek one and the Rura Penthe one maybe. Though I like/love seasons 3 & 4 episodes. Also,I don't care what it was used for before, this needed to be the theme! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My absolute favorite episode is North Star from season 3. It works both ways. https://youtu.be/q8urmYZ8CiU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hercules on Ain't It Cool News has a theory that it's a ship dedicated to dealing with extraordinary threats, as part of Section 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhom Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I'm still struck by the similarities between the Discovery and the old Klingon Battleships and Romulan Warbirds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Was hoping for some actual footage but I guess they haven't started shooting yet. Still very interested though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fun fan-theory I read was that this may indeed be a more militaristic branch of the Federation and therefore has Klingon/romulan tech too. Maybe a threat so serious all three work together (I can't recall if romulans were federation by the end of next gen era). They also said it might mean the crew is a balance of federation/klingon/romulan which could make for some interesting conflict in how they handle threats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romulans: "Spy!" The Romulans were definitely not part of the federation by the end of TNG. Only an uneasy alliance (built on an unscrupulous act) with the Federation to fight the Dominion in DS9.

That would be cool, but if that's the case I say poor choice for the name; If this is a warship, I would expect a name that evoked trait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtually nothing about Section 31 has ever screamed "altruistic". To set the supposed heroes of the show working for such an organization...it seems little odd...

I don't think it's a poor chouse ar all. Section 31 isn't like the Tal Shiar or the Obsidian Order, they try to stay invisible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the other theory is true, that this a warship build by the Federation in collusion with the Klingons and the Romulans, then it would be a poor choice for a name. I could see the Klingons wanting to blow it up just because of the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discovering secrets and the weaknesses of enemies a Section 31 ship would also need to be able to get out of hot situations hence a bit more battle-hardened. I still think this ship is only going to be one aspect of the show. The first teaser stated "new crews, new villains, new heroes, new worlds". That said if it's called "discovery" then I'd expect the Discovery ship to be the show's focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceChampion Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 It would more likely be a spy ship, not a war ship. Are intelligence officers in blue shirts or gold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch-MaesterPhilip Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I guess if this is dealing with Section 31, they could be anything. Doctor Bashir was forced to use his position of doctor as his cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Is it going to be the hapless first officer who doesn't know he's on a Section 31 speech and after discovering what's going on he or she has to take the agency down...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
