admonition : SPOILERS For Star Trek : Section 31
The answer to one big problem inStar Trek : Section 31is found in the paying back of Captain Worf ( Michael Dorn ) inStar Trek : Picard . As part ofStar Trek : Picardseason 3’sStar Trek : The Next Generationcastreunion , Commander Raffi Musiker ’s ( Michelle Hurd ) mysterious handler is revealed to be none other than Captain Worf . Commander Musiker assumes that Worf is also working for Starfleet Intelligence , but Worf explains that he ’s more of an " sovereign contractor . " GivenWorf ’s prospicient historywith both Starfleet and the Klingon Empire , this unites Worf ’s loyalty with one job .
Ever since being inclose inStar Trek : Deep Space Nine , Section 31 has been dissimilar from Starfleet Intelligence . While Starfleet Intelligence is the Federation ’s standard espionage division , discussion section 31 was a black ops intelligence agency squad that did n’t answer to Starfleet Command , and was n’t bound by the Federation ’s computer code of value-system . As a refugee from the Mirror Universe , Michelle Yeoh ’s Terran Emperor Philippa Georgiouwas a perfect candidate to join Section 31 inStar Trek : Discoveryseason 2 . One big problem inStar Trek : division 31is that Georgiou ’s Modern squad does n’t have that virtuously gray nicety .
Section 31’s Team Of Misfits Could Have Been Star Trek Independent Contractors (Like Worf)
Once Again, A Star Trek That’s Improved By Worf (Sort Of)
Theteam of misfit inStar Trek : subdivision 31could have been autonomous declarer , like Captain Worf is inStar Trek : Picard . It ’s unclear why Alok Sahar ’s ( Omar Hardwick ) team inSection 31actually has to be Section 31 at allwhen their mission is n’t as virtuously gray-headed as Section 31 typically is . Lieutenant Rachel Garrett ( Kacey Rohl ) is even there to ensure that they do n’t kill anyone . But Worf ’s job inPicardseason 3 proves that Starfleet Intelligencedoesuse operatives who do n’t ferment for them directly and are n’t of necessity tie by hard-and-fast Federation ethics .
Star Trek : Section 31 ’s Rachel Garrett is the subject of an Easter egg inStar Trek : Picardseason 3 , installment 1 , " The Next Generation " , when Raffi Musiker discovers a statue of USS Enterprise - C Captain Garrett is the target of an impending terrorist onset .
Making discussion section 31 ’s squad independent contractor would puzzle out one ofStar Trek : Section 31 ’s problems : its unexpected tone . Star Trekestablished that incision 31 operates in the shadows of Federation ethics , even when Section 31 is an open secret inStar Trek : Discovery . or else of being morally gray characters on ethically dubious delegacy , Star Trek : Section 31 ’s team are more likeStar Treksuperheroes . If theSection 31team does n’t actually operate like elite shameful ops , they should be self-governing hires for specific missions — then they can be as fun asStar Trek : Section 31made them out to be .
Star Trek’s First Streaming Movie Didn’t Have To Be Titled Section 31
Changing The Title Of Star Trek: Section 31 Would Have Changed Expectations
Star Trek ’s first streaming flick did n’t have to be titledStar Trek : Section 31.Star Trekhas traditionally used plane section 31 as a branch of Starfleet to recite stories that ask whether the ends justify the mean value . ButSection 31 ’s storydoesn’t seem to deal with any genuinely unethical covert operations , or wrestle with the same head of ethics that discussion section 31 stories did inStar Trek : Deep Space NineorStar Trek : Discovery . They do n’t even have to be Section 31 to bring Georgiou in , because Georgiou ’s connector to the Godsend is more of import than her plane section 31 past .
Star Trek : subdivision 31 is Paramount+ ’s first Star Trek cyclosis flick , but will Michelle Yeoh headline another motion-picture show as Emperor Georgiou ?
IfStar Trek : Section 31was rename when thenewStar TrekTV showwas retooled into a cyclosis movie , that would have commute what audience expect from Michelle Yeoh ’s return as Emperor Georgiou . Shifting the scope ofSection 31probably removed some big picture base that would ’ve link the narrative back to Section 31 in the greaterStar Trekuniverse . With a new title , and commute the team to independent contractors hired to recuperate Georgiou ’s Godsend weapon , Star Trek : Section 31still would n’t be the greatestStar Trekmovie , but it might have been received differently .
