“Federation political drama” is a popular dream show for a lot of people. I’ve never been one of those people - the Federation is built on decades of contradictory nonsense, and anything they came up with would be under immense pressure to be a perfect political system - something that’s never been designed IRL, and probably never will.
But…setting it in the very early days of the UFP, as the characters themselves are trying to figure it out? There might actually be something there…
I’m one of those people, and really appreciated the little bits of political wrangling we saw in the last half of Discovery. And while I was never a fan of Enterprise, Bakula could kill it as the president of the Federation in its formative years. I love this idea.
I’m under no illusions that this will actually happen - it’s just nice to know he’s interested.
Upon further consideration…
