I like Michelle Yeoh. I like Star Trek. I don't like them together. Apparently they just won't let this dumb idea go.

It's not even her. It's not even that character. It's that it grows out of Discovery-kind of like a fungus. It's the exciting story of the Mirror Universe that nobody had discovered until Kirk's crew discovered it except that everyone seemingly knew about it way earlier [but, remember, folks, this is a legitimate and in-continuity prequel to the original Star Trek]. In this prequel, everybody knows that this secret organization called Section 31 exists that nobody knew about in the time of TOS and barely even knew existed in TNG and DS9 [But, remember again, folks, it's in-continuity with the original Star Trek]. Yup, right next to the superspeed Gorn that everyone knew about ten years before Kirk's crew encountered them for the first time that the Federation had ever heard of them.
Power with Girl is better.

Hope they do a BluRay; don't have Paramount+ and am curious about how this turns out.
Doctor Strange: "You are the right person to replace Logan."
X-23: "I know there are people who disapprove... Guys on the Internet mainly."

I dropped Discovery after Season 1. Gave it a few tries after that but I couldn't get into it.
Section 31 made its mark on me during the DS9 Era and nobody could top Luthor Sloan if we're talking hard-core.
Sloan was that close to completing a genocide when he injected Odo with a specific virus that nearly wiped out the Changeling Race. He alone did what the Tal'Shiar and Obsidian Order combined couldn't do.

They are trying to cash in and use some of Yeoh current Oscar winning popularity to make people watch more streaming star trek. Why don't they just make a star trek 4 with a 100 million budget.
Of all the modern Trek changes, my least favorite by far is turning the concept of Section 31 from an unofficial shadow cabal doing things from the shadows to further the Federation without their knowledge, unknown even to high ranking admirals and such unless you were specifically in on things, with no organization, offices, or records...to the official CIA of the Federation with their own god damn badges.

I hope it wins a bunch of awards.
Makes tons of money.
The edgelords need more stuff to whine about.

I agree with that. The only place it worked was on DS9 with Sloane as such a great character. By definition, prequels are obsessed with the past but also obsessed with changing it and inserting things that don't belong in that era.
I know you hate Lower Decks. But, at least they were willing to make fun of themselves such as a scene where Boimler asks why Section 31 walks around wearing black Starfleet insignias if they're supposed to be a secret shadow organization that people barely know exists.

LOL. I see you edited that to make it a little extra trolly.
It may well win some sort of acting award for Michelle Yeoh. If so, there would be no complaint because she certainly is a caliber of actress that would deserve it. Also, if the show is good on its own merits, that's great. But, as something allegedly happening around the time of TOS, almost not great by it's very premise.
I honestly do hope they eventually just do a remake of TOS and be done with it so they have a show where all of these prequels fit and make sense. Then we can relegate them all to an alternate reality from the original TOS (TOOS? The Original Original Series?) and be done with it

Not trolling.
Tired of seeing misanthropes and mysognists in geek culture.
I wouldn't be opposed to all the NuTrek being another branch of the Kelvinverse or a new continuity.
For now, I treat it like when an artist changes on a comic I'm reading; as long as it is good, I am happy. While it looks different visually, it's fun seeing the puzzle pieces come together.
Most of it has been good and the Emperor and Pike have been the best things coming out of Discovery IMHO. So yay for more of them.
