Except Section 31 has never been anything but a antagonist in the Trek universe. It's hard to put them front and center as the showcase for the show when they're not meant to be a positive thing...

Seeing humans that are willing to compromise themselves so the rest of is don't have to always appealed to me. I suppose one or two members could be Section 31. But having an entire ship running black ops would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think JJ Abrams is involved in the tv show A lot of people have commented on the music sounding like Klingon war drums from previous shows/films. It could just be the show trying to emulate 2001: Space odyssey though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamjm Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Given that it's been such a long time since the last Trek on TV I might be a bit surprised if they did something too radical with the premise, and following a black-ops unit like Section 31 would be a break with the traditional optimism of Trek. That said, if they did do that I think I could find it interesting, but I'm not sure they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChampion Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 AICN talked to Fuller. It's sounding like Section 31 may not exist yet but a precursor might be part of the story. At least that's how I interpreted his comments. Also, according to this it's pre-Kirk, which is not surprising except for everyone who insisted it was post-Voyager.

DaveSumm Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Meh. I was hoping it was post-Voyager. We've had the Abramsverse, TOS, Enterprise, First Contact......it feels well covered this whole period. What more interesting things can be done with the prequel concept? Once again, the aesthetics are all restrained in that they have to lead to TOS somehow, more so than Enterprise. It feels like ST has marked out its time period and this is all its willing to depict.

At first I was going to get all pissy about "they said a while ago it wasn't pre-next gen" but the actual comments by Fuller give nothing away. All the leading evidence is extrapolated by the author of the article. I look forward to Aug 10th when some proper details are finally revealed. I don't get the secrecy of stating when the show is set and feel like the longer they leave it, the more chances there are for people to fall in love with fan theories of when it's set. Just tell us and they avoid that - we'll still speculate about everything else of course! I just don't want this turning into "into darkness" where it transpires the produces have been messing us around and outright lying at points just to keep things "secret" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned above...I'm some.ways it becomes a season 5 of Enterprise. Right or wrong. Based on what's already been revealed about tthat particular time frame, it sounds like they may want to actually explore the founding of the Federation, or its very early beginnings. It could present material that might be relevant to today... Would they bring back some of the Enterprise actors though...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad the Enterprise books don't count because in one of them they explained away Tripp's death by saying it was a fake out by Section 31. Seeing an ancient Tripp would be cool. Or Reed for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would probably put a smile on the faces of Firefly fans too. Given the emphasis on "firsts" I guess Laverne Cox could also be a good shout. Although I don't know if she's still active on "Orange is the new black" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Keep your eyes glued to the Internet on Aug. 10; Fuller says he’s going to “spoiler it up” during the “Star Trek” panel on that penultimate day here at the Television Critics Association summer press tour. I gather this hasn't happened yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
