caitriSo there was a plot about a psycho killing people and streaming to the internets to get viewers and comments. And it was on "The Dark Net" which is "unpatrolled." So...4chan? Reddit?
Basically this strikes me as a cheap shot at participatory culture, especially since the writers/producers got into a high profile-ish squabble with Trek fans over the summer. You know those scary internets where the social maladjusts live! Well at least the baddy was a white dude and not a chick, like it would be in Supernatural.
