10 Modern Star Trek Plots That Are The Same

And here we go again - automation threatening Starfleet. This time, it comes in the form of the Living Construct, a devastating AI weapon that's placed on board the USS Protostar, turning the finest of Starfleet ships into a ticking timebomb, ready to cripple any Federation ships that get too close.

There are just enough subtle differences in this plot that it's not exactly the same as either Lower Decks' Texas-class, or Picard's assimilated armada, but in essence, we have another fleet that's being controlled from a central, evil source, ready to infect every Starfleet ship that comes into contact with it.

There's no arguing that the sequence showing the Living Construct going live is almost as chilling as Skynet's inevitable rise, and the visuals remain as gorgeous as the first time we saw them, but it all simply begs the question - between this, the Texas-class (which would have come before), and the Borg-infected fleet - has Starfleet got any firewalls in place on its ships?!
