From memory that was a secretive section of Starfleet that specialised in Black Ops and was essentially above the law - above and beyond most of the more shadowy aspects of CIA during its heyday.Originally posted by Ted Striker
What's section 31?
IIRC it was introduced in the mid-seasons of DS9.
I thought it was a great concept in principle but unfortunately most of the episodes seemed to revolve around the particularly irritating doctor playing at being a superspy.

I say push the timeline into the future 50 years past Voyager/DS9. That way the writers get rid of the crutch of having old cast members re-appear and can advance the story without violating the Star Trek "canon". There's plenty of Universe left to explore (One more quadrant, right?).If you look around and think everyone else is an *******, you're the *******.Comment

I have trouble imaging a show about section 31, the org was sooo dicredited in DS9....
About big battles -I love to see them to, but they shouldn't overdo it, IMO the development of the scale of space battles was reasonable in Enterprise (although I have to say we are currently at the third seaon here). Anyway, lots of big battles all the time and from the start of a series could become boring too. Space battles should become gradually bigger to the end of a show IMO.
Most important IMO isn't to have hundreds of ships participating, but how good space fighting is made in the end (fx, "camera" movement, cuts etc.).BlahComment

I'm not sure the success of a scifi show is proportional to the number of legs those aliens have

Hm, the latest StarTrek series was/is (?) definately far superior to its predecessors. The music theme, though subject to criticism from today´s techno/metal/punk youth, is IMO a highlight in the new concept!
It lines out what the show is about: A new era is about to begin, mankind takes the first steps in leaving the cradle that is earth! The crew is "green" in terms of alien contact, which is always a big PLUS, the technology is not that far advanced compared to TNG, all in all the whole series is more plausible
Now I don´t know whether that will change during the later seasons, since it´s relatively new here in Europe, but what I have seen so far is the best StarTrek ever
Scott Bakula is great as captain, he has that "kirk touch" but still creates an individual feel to it. Jolene Blalock (the Vulcan chick), as outlined before, is a perfect Number One in both looks and acting
Also most of the other actors fit perfectly into the setting, adding lots of different perspektives
Of course seeing a captain work in the slave mines of some brutal alien race is another step "back to the roots", creating a more human aura to the captain´s figure. (Who could imagine old Picard performing slave labour?
)
Younger actors -> more action, less static episodes ->
