Wait...is this in reference for the last set of SW films? If so...then yeah.

Quibble: there are quite a few TOS episodes where Federation/Starfleet people screw up to entertaining effect - like when they turn a planet into Nazis or build a captain-replacing supercomputer with their psychological flaws baked into the kernel. It's usually the crew onboard ships named 'Enterprise' that are reliably good.
Also, DS9 has a lot of Starfleet officers as principle characters and everyone on DISCO is Starfleet.
It's nice to see the parts of the Star Trek universe where you can wear leather pants, pimp hats, and an eyepatch!

I am getting the strong impression that the show is leaning toward the Romulans being tied to the Borg, perhaps as their creators?
I'm not sure I like that idea. I've always liked the theory that V'ger was responsible for the Borg, and vice versa. What I mean by that is that when V'ger encountered the machine planet, said machines began doing like V'ger and looking to evolve/expand...which created the Borg.

Not sure where that is coming from, and it would be pretty difficult unless they're going to really reject Voyager canon. Voyager talks about the early days of the Borg and the fact that the Borg originate in the Delta quadrant.
But, that said, I am very interested to see just exactly why the Romulans have such a hate on for AI.
It is really interesting to see that Borg tech is now a hotly traded commodity. One does have to wonder just how much Federation and Alpha Quadrant technology would change because of it. My only problem though is that they've kinda sanitized the Borg. Previously, Borg were the implacable enemy - any Borg piece could reactivate and begin making more Borg. Kinda like the Cybermen in Doctor Who. The only way to make sure they were actually gone would be to basically nuke them from orbit.
Not sure I like this new approach.
I don't like it either, but I also feel like Voyager did such a thorough job defanging & demystifying the Borg that that ship has already sailed (at warp 9.89) a long time ago.

Judging from the angle being played in the story, using the Romulans as the possible contributors, is the highly possible theme to use, why is this so? Because...besides the Klingons story already being told from TOS, TNG and the Movies, the Romulans' arc was in small pieces in all of that, and it wasn't enough. So, they are picked to be the ones, this will tie in with the Future Control probe seen Discovery, and the beginning growing pains of Control to become a full AI seen in the last parts of the Season 2 in STD.
This is the narration they are pushing, cause they can't give a solid storyline, to how things are. I am no longer excited for this premise...cause they mired up badly with Discovery and now we got this with STP. They want to replace Prime Trek timeline and Universe with this Wreck...but it will come down to how they execute this in the time they have left.
Kurtzman has maybe a year or two left on his contract, his Section 31 seems to be going nowhere, and the two anima shows should be showing up soon. And almost forgot, Paramount did not renew the Movie license portion from last July.
So, if they are angling for the Romulans to be the creator of the Borg...let them, cause it is their frakkin' sandbox, which at one point, can be replaced with a something better, hopefully down the road.
And by the way CBS/Paramount are quietly aware of this...none of this is gaining traction in the numbers they are seeking.

Looks like we're gonna get slammed with Star Trek Star Trek: New Movie, Two New Series, and More Confirmed in the Works
and as for Section 31 it seems filming will start once STD's next season is done New 'Star Trek' series 'Section 31' to start filming when 'Discovery' season 3 wraps

All that's missing is a Start Trek: The Reality Show. Rent out the "Star Trek Original Series Tour" set and run "Kobayashi Maru" scenarios, on camera, with regular folk.
