I don't want to get too excited in this time of contraction in the entertainment industry, but it's exciting that they're opening the door to this era.
If I remember correctly, it's somewhat controversial amongst family farmers who want to leave the farm to their children, so the Cons may think it plays well to their base from that angle.
The presence of a young Rachel Garrett seems to suggest it (she was likely born around 2300, so the movie could take place around 2330).
I don't know if we'll see any actual maroons, though - I think they're operating outside of the Federation.

Well, this seems poised to be set sometime after "The Undiscovered Country," which is actually one of the more interesting aspects for me.
He handles himself well, but it's light on policy. The closest he comes is saying something about how Canadians deserve a carbon tax that puts the burden on big companies, and not on the people. This would seem to suggest he would make some changes there.
Maybe, but he didn't have anything to do with this carbon tax, and his Jon Stewart interview seemed to hint that he feels some changes might be in order there.
My plan is to go in expecting a goofy action movie, and hopefully I'll find at least parts of it more compelling than that.
I've always felt that the Georgiou character is potentially interesting, and I liked her Discovery send-off. Of the "new" characters, Alok sounds interesting, and I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with Garrett.
I'm giving myself 50/50 odds of enjoying it.
Okay then, the next election will happen when the next election is called.
Let me know if I used any words that are too big for you.
I think you're probably correct - she's got a lot of baggage simply by virtue of having served in the government.
Nonetheless, I think it would be good for the party to have a serious leadership race with at least a couple of legitimate contenders.
So sad, yet so delicious.
