icymi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Section_31 is a thing which (unfortunately) exists
All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.
Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon
This is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.
Rule 2 — No Prohibited Cargo
Some things aren’t welcome aboard.
Rule 3 — Keep It Trek
Posts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.
Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.
If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.
Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.
I watched about the first 15 minutes of the Section 31 show and gave up when instead of being introduced to the best minds in the Federation that perform successful massive galaxy-spanning clandestine missions, we get Star Trek version of Suicide Squad with quirky misfits. The writers squandered the 15 years of Star Trek shows telling us about how good Section 31 in about 5 minutes of screen time on this one-shot show.
So you have fallen prey to their previous propaganda on how good they are... nah, scrap it, let'd not retcon this at all. I might have made it a little further than you into the movie, I absolutely don't recall because it was so bad. This is the first Star Trek media I actually stopped watching, for me this never ever happened before.
