Comment on Meet the Star Trek: Section 31 Crew
ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 2 weeks agoThe idea that a person can do horrible things but still try to reject their old ways and do things differently is against everything that Star Trek stands for?

Yes. Killing billions of people is nothing you just regret and go on with your life.

Yeah, I guess I forgot that the central tenet of Star Trek is that people are either Good or Bad, and there’s no room for change or improvement.

Go ahead and show me where in Discovery Space Hitler asks for forgiveness or mourns about the billions of people she had killed. A redemption arc needs to ask for redemption as a first step.

In “Terra Firma” she literally goes back and tries to do things differently.
Needing to “ask for redemption” suggests there’s a higher power administering cosmic judgment, which is another tenet of the ethos I was unaware of.
