The ‘Star Trek: Section 31’ Movie Sees A “Misfit” Crew Balancing Special Ops Mission And Starfleet Morality
The cast and director are talking about the upcoming streaming movie.

This just feels so counter to Trek ideals.
Same thing was said about DS9. And Discovery. And Lower Decks. Star Trek has proven itself to be very adaptable from comedy, to horror, through action and drama - and that's the films alone.
I suspect we may well see S31 shown for what all intelligence organisations are: corrupt, inept, and deeply hypocritical to civil society. Doesn't that sound like Star Trek to you?
@Olap @SulaymanF Curious to know which film you regard as comedy? I'm sure I won't be disagreeing with you....
ST IV obviously. The horror more the stretch imo, and that's parts of khan, with parts of Undiscovered
The teaser trailer looks like a high energy superhero romp that's closer to Guardians of the Galaxy, than it is anything Star Trek.
And I just don't like the idea that section 31 is made up of a bunch of oddballs and misfits with no discipline. Makes the movie more 'exciting' I guess, but really? Section 31 should move quietly in the shadows, not all brash and ballsy.
I'm sure they are hoping this style will boost revenue by appealing to a younger demographic, but it's just totally the opposite of what I want from Star Trek.
💯 Same thing with the abomination that is DS9.
Oh for petes sake.
