The pair then told the story of how Paul Giamatti was cast as the season 1 villain:

Alex Kurtzman: So this happened because he was doing press for The Holdovers, and when he was asked about the part that he would most want to play, he said, “I want to play a Klingon on Star Trek.”… So we called his agent and said, “Was that a thing he just said, was that a bit?”… And she called back and she said, “He’d love to sit down with you. We got on a Zoom with him and he cried. He was so excited at the prospect of playing in the world of Star Trek and he was talking about how meaningful it was him… It was just one of those moments where you’re like, “Oh, one of the greatest actors in the world, and he really wants to come join us.” So that was pretty amazing.

Noga Landau: He also chose which role he wanted to play. We came to him and we said, “You could be this guy or that guy, or that guy.” And he thought about it and he came back and told us that the part he plays is the one he wanted.

Alex Kurtzman: We thought it was going to be like one episode because his schedule is so busy, and he was like, “No, I want to play the villain.” We’re like, “That’s the whole season.” He was like, “Great, let’s do it!”

Love to see it.

Nothing says "not interested" like pulling the comment car over to tell the world.

And yet here you are...

Turns out Voyager also established an area of the Vulcan brain that's responsible for suppressing emotions:

EMH: There's a definite neurochemical imbalance in the mesiofrontal cortex.

JANEWAY: Which means what?

EMH: That's where the Vulcan psycho-suppression systems are located. This may be the result of an incompatibility with the Betazoid telepathic neural centre, I'm not sure.

You should watch

They're probably limited by the fact that the mobile game in question is a Lower Decks game, though it doesn't sound like that's an impossible obstacle.

I've never played the game, but it appears to include every incarnation of the Doctor.

I'm disappointed that they went with Tennant for the promotional material, but it hopefully doesn't reflect the gameplay (such as it is, these games tend to be pretty...low-calorie).

If I see it anywhere else, I'll update the OP.

Gwyn's rendition of "Johnny B. Goode" in the finale is going to be killer.

that’s kind of the whole point of the Section 31 storyline in DS9.

Again, no. That's not the story they're telling, and there's no episode that tries to make that point. It's a massive leap of logic to try to make that case.

All I'm doing is accurately describing the way the organization was depicted on DS9.

Only on Sunday, after everyone's gone home.

To me, "redemption" implies forgiveness, while "atonement" implies reparation or sacrifice, without actual forgiveness being in the equation. I think it's an interesting notion, if they can pull it off.

Georgiou has great potential to be a sort of nature/nurture story.
