10 Things Star Trek: Discovery Season 2 Must Do to Avoid Epic Failure
In the all important Star Trek: Discovery season 2 sophomore debut, these are 10 things the series must do to avoid screwing the pooch.
6. Discovery Season 2 Must Build on the Vulcan Logic Extremist Movement
CBS All fans raise the collective one eyebrow at the idea of Vulcan terrorism
In the season one episode “Lethe,” viewers learn of a Vulcan organization known as “Logic Extremists,” a terrorist organization dedicated to furthering the ethos that Vulcans are superior to all other species, and breaking from the Federation. Moreover they’re willing to enact suicide bombing to try and destabilize Vulcan society, and their overall venerated position within the Federation.
Not only do these Logic Extremists wish to harm Vulcan society and the Federation, Sarek (James Frain) is their poster whipping boy enemy. Specifically because of Sareks personal mission to further draw Vulcan and humanity closer together – both politically and culturally. They already tried and failed to kill him once!
The Logic Extremist movement is one of the most compelling storylines entirely unique to Discovery’s storyline. Further, it’s a very jarring site to observe Vulcans acting as true terrorists. Vulcans of course will do most anything if they conclude it is what logic demands, but this sight is highly provocative.
Where the Romulans Might Fit
Its also reasonable to conclude that with speciesist Vulcans at play and Romulans always about, it would be no shock to once again tread into the murky waters of Vulcan-Romulan “reunification.”
These two parties seem to be incredibly well suited to each other. Both Logic Extremists and Romulans share the unequivocal belief of their own superiority over all others. Each party are highly aggressive, profoundly arrogant, in addition to possessing a generally malformed sense of logic. One would be by no means surprised to find these two in covert cahoots. We have heard this tune so many times before.
Such possibilities would definitely serve to portray the growing pains of a Federation destined for superpower status in the 24th century and beyond. Certainly utopia was not created through rainbows and farts alone. It would be an interesting twist entirely within the vein both have operated before, completely in line with Discovery overall, and fertile territory for Star Trek: Discovery season 2.
