On Tuesday I mentioned how seasonably mild the spring has been so far in these
parts. Yesterday it was 90-or-so degrees here. I'm tempted superstitiously decide that
this was influenced by my words. But then there's yesterday when I complained
about the ineptitude of my New York Knickerbockers. This is one of at least a
dozen or so rants I've had on the topic over the years, and they haven't won a
championship since 1973. So if my words have any power, it's only working in the
wrong direction.

Star Trek Discovery looks pretty good. I might sign up to CBS all access for one month to binge watch it, then cancel again. I'm sure roughly 99% of all Trek fans will probably do the same thing.
Trailer disappointed me. The series looks second rate and similar to Enterprise. I was hoping this series would break new ground, like delving into the mysterious inner workings of Section 31. The few times they appeared was enough to pique my interest.
Was I the only one who was rooting for Section 31 in those DS9 episodes? The finally made the Federation look bad ass. And not a gaggle of liberal pussies.
You're not alone. S31's tactics are, shall we say, less than admirable. The DS9 episode "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges" and "When It Rains..." are two excellent examples of Starfleet's silent approval of the clandestine operation, and "Extreme Measures" demonstrates Section 31 may have more power over the Federation than is publically known, even to the Federation themselves. Both the original cast (Shatner, Nimoy, etc.) and the next gen cast (Stewart, Frakes, Spiner, Dorn, Burton, etc.) are gone. I'm not ready to watch another Enterprise clone. The only thing that'll interest me in a new series is discovering new areas of the Federation that have not been explored. Section 31 would be a great series addition. There are amazing stories they could tell with that group.
The most exercise some people get is jumping to conclusions.
