and likened the tone to the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.

Oh good, a light-hearted romp where half the characters act like idiots, that's exactly what a Star Trek movie about a clandestine blackops organization should be like
- Deep Space Nine made it absolutely clear that Section 31 is an illegal black-ops org with garb somewhat reminiscient of Nazi storm troopers, they were the bad guys.
  
  Yeoh has described it as “Mission: Impossible in space,” and likened the tone to the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.
  
  Mission: Impossible, the longest-running, pro-CIA anti-socialist propaganda series in US history. OK... so now Star Trek is about making illegal black-ops Nazis look cool?
  
  Fuck these fucking producers. I want my gay space communism back.
  
  "Illegal?" DS9's S31 was protected by Starfleet Command. They were completely untouchable.
  
  S31 was right though, the Founders should’ve been exterminated
- I'd personally prefer that to the tone Discovery took
  
  That was my thought, I'm quite up for this. I enjoyed The Voyage Home, I enjoyed The Trouble with Tribbles - I wouldn't want all Trek to be like that but there is absolutely a place in the franchise for light-hearted takes on Trek.
We don't want a different trek

We want old trek in a new wrapper
- Who's "we," and why are they so excited at the prospect of reheated leftovers?
  
  I am one of the we.
  
  Because the new food is bland, the leftovers still taste good to my tastebuds.
  
  If I want something other than Star Trek then I will watch something other than Star Trek.
Translation: it's another formulaic action film with a Star Trek coat of paint.
I am upvoting this thread for being relevant to the discussion, but man, this article makes me sick. They are completely ruining Star Trek.
Do the people who make Star Trek these days just... Hate star trek?
- No.
  
  Had me fooled.
- There is some really good Star Trek these days. Just not all of it. And this probably won‘t be…
- Yes. There’s a producer, writer, edge-lord guy who got this kind of shit rolling back in the 00s. I don’t remember his name but despite hating ST, he worked on a fair number of shows. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s still around working on these recent “dark and gritty” Trek shows.
I really hope this is good, I am actually really excited to see how this turns out, I don’t necessarily have high expectations but also I don’t think there is any reason it has to suck so long as Georghiu isn’t let of the moral hook for being an awful, murderous leader.

Also Michelle Yeoh is great so I am excited fuck it.
- it could be 2 hours of michelle yeoh eating kelpians and i would still be entertained
  
  That took a quick, dark turn.
  
  10/10 would watch
I will always root for Trek to succeed. I'm hoping that by including Rachel Garrett, this isn't too timey-wimey and we get a well written TUC-TNG lost era story.
„Different“ as in „shitty“?
You wouldn't know this Trek, she doesn't go to our school.
