That works, too. (And probably closer to what I was thinking, honestly.)

There's room for it, under the right conditions, but... this feels completely wrong in almost every direction. Section 31, as a collective group, should not feel like a bad rip off of Guardians of the Galaxy. Absolutely the wrong tone.

I will give it a fair shot, however, since it won't cost me anything but my time. :P

I really, really, really hope this ends up being like Lower Decks where I was very skeptical of it going in, but ended up loving it.

Because everything about this is actively repelling me.

Ugh. Another sour bit of Picard trivia for the pile. Del Arco comes across as a decent fellow. I remember spending all season wondering where the hell this was all going and hoping his character's death -- in the full context -- would make more narrative sense. How blissfully naive I was. :P

It's crazy that the show I was most hyped for ended up being the one I'd erase from the timeline if I could. Visually gorgeous, with a great cast... but, IMHO, it was far too 'grimdark' for it's own good. That and it's shattershot kitchen-sink approach to storytelling makes it all feel like some fan fiction wet dream in retrospect. Anything positive I could take away from the series is almost completely lost in the noise.

(Keeping in mind that I keep S1/S2 distinct from S3, which while an improvement, has it's own things going on. 😏)

"Dr. Vance... are you wearing makeup...?" (Oops, wrong movie.)
