It's all very meta-anon. You are correct. The plan is huge and there has clearly been a lot of time spent establishing archetypal characters and understanding the psychology of different demographics. I posted last night that a red wave wasn't going to happen as it would close the route to unity. Q and POTUS have been hinting at this all week. You can't always get what you want, but if you try you get what you need. Anons have gone a little bit Redwave NPC the last few weeks though. Hopefully, we can now regroup and prepare ourselves for movie 2. The interesting thing about sequels is that they normally get a bigger budget, they are more global in character and introduce you to a bigger world. There will also be set-backs. It gets boring if the heroes have no challenges to overcome. Think of The Empire Strikes Back.
