Diane’s predictions:

1. Universal Studios will once again have a license agreement with Paramount for either a Star Trek scene ride or experience in one of their theme parks



2. Another Oscar winning actor or actress will appear in one of the shows that air 25. This is an addition to Holly Hunter and Michelle Yeoh



3. Sonequa Martin Green will appear as Burham _Is either a flashback or in a Holodeck?



4. an actor who has portrayed the doctor will appear in Star Trek



5. One of the children of the original TOS cast will have a cameo on “Strange New Worlds”

Diane is already doing great because [SPOILER ALERT!] Academy Award Winner Jamie Lee Curtis appeared in the “Section 31” move.

Main Mission

“Star Trek: Section 31
A Paramount+ Streaming Movie Event
Screenplay by Craig Sweeny
Story by Bo Yeon Kim & Erika Lippoldt
Directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi

Thomas Laford wrote in to say that he and his wife, Andrea, had watched the Section 31 movie and that she rated it at a 6 and Thomas had rated it a 6.5 (at best). He commented that It really felt like a “made for TV movie”.

And he noted a few tropes:

• The opening sounded like HUNGER GAMES



• The Bar Singer made Thomas think of THE FIFTH ELEMENT



• Walking around the room to identify the covert team had a MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE vibe



• He wonders if the bad guy who stole the package looks like STAR LORD to anyone else?



• Did he have a VARON T DISRUPTOR?



• Running through the walls reminded him of
  
  
  
  • Phased: Roe and Geordi
  
  
  
  • Normal: Juggernaut
  
  
  
  



• Typical Star Trek ending – saved with 1 second to go – GALAXY QUEST



• Didn’t the Guardian of Forever send Georgieu back in time to the Mirror Universe to create a better empire?



• What happened to that story line?



• At the end – Why does every ship AND the starbase/bar warp away in the same direction?
