To be fair, maybe it was a dream or something. I've had exactly one memory in my life that I had eventually determined to be a dream, so it is possible. In fact, maybe it was this thread that provoked that dream of mine -- You never know..

Well, now that Philippa Georgiou is in the future of the future they can't do the "evil Trump Federation" that must be save by Philippa Georgiou and Woke 31.

Unless after season 3 of Discovery she somehow travels back in time to when Discovery left...or maybe all of Discovery travels back in time? The show is such garbage about this anyway.

Unless...maybe....the Section 31 show will be set in the future of the future? So as Discovery builds the Happy Comrades Communist Empire with things like "your world MUST be Diverse and Woke or we will roit and destroy it! hahahaha!" and then Philippa Georgiou would be in the "back ground" helping out.

I'm sorry, but you're complaining about forcing diversity and wokeness in STAR TREK.

I mean, you're actually looking sillier than Neelix.

Neelix man.

And one could ask oneself: "Why are you watching a show like Star Trek, if you're against diversity and - whatever this 'wokeness' is. "

Hell, even if you are anti-wokeness and somehow still a Star Trek fan, then you should acknowledge it's grandfathered into the premise.

Very true - although I have to ask myself, how well that work out: Liking Trek and still being anti-SJW, mostly since, like you already pointed out, it's not only build in, but it's one of the most important parts of the show.

I think "wokeness" means to be rebel scum.

Well they better be changing directions. On Thursday first episode of Star Trek Discovery aired on cable - CBS Network and it had worse ratings then "Love Island" "Press Your Luck" and a rerun of "The Masked Singer." Anyone telling me how Discovery is making loads of cash want to explain why people don't want to watch it even for free?

Here is one source but you can find plenty more: https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/thursday-tv-ratings-press-your-luck-star-trek-discovery-dateline-nbc-mysteries-decoded-the-masked-singer/
