I’m actually really looking forward to this movie. I’m all for trying new things within the Star Trek universe!

I have no idea if I'm going to like it - it's definitely not shaping up to be the story I had in my head - but I'm interested in seeing them do something different.

I feel similar. Way back when they announced a series based around Section 31 I had a whole different notion about what that would be. The fact that they made it at all and the cast and crew all seem so genuinely excited has me hopeful.

I'm usually in the same boat. Because IDIC, you know? I like it when new shows expand the Trek universe and try something new. Just look at DS9. It got a lot of backlash in the 90s ("too dark", "not Gene's vision" etc.) and nowadays it's very popular and often ranked somewhere around TNG.

But this Section 31 movie.... I don't know. Nothing about seems appealing. The main role is basically Space Hitler. It was already nonsense how they tried to redeem that character on Discovery while she had no redeeming qualities. Compare that to other Trek "villains" like Gul Dukat who at least had some sort of moral compass, even if it was a bit skewed. But Georgiou? There's nothing. She's just one-dimensionally evil. Do we really need a movie with her in the main role? 😕
