Star Trek's Section 31 have doubled down on their evil ways, crossing a line that proves why they are some of the worst ...

Section 31’s origins as a secret cabal that predates the Federation would be confirmed in the 2005 prequel series Star Trek: Enterprise, and they would become a major antagonist in the 2013 ...

And it’s that side of her that Section 31 needs, sending Alok (Omari Hardwick) and his team to recruit her on a mission to avert an existential crisis – the classic spy game specialty.

Section 31 is the subject of the new Star Trek film for Paramount+, starring best actress winner Michelle Yeoh. She’ll reprise her Star Trek: Discovery role of former Empress Philippa Georgiou.

Star Trek: Section 31 will be fronted by her Most Imperial Majesty, Mother of the Fatherland, Overlord of Vulcan, Dominus of Qo’noS, Regina Andor… But you know her best as Philippa Georgiou.

Section 31 should have been an easy win: Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh in a Star Trek spinoff actioner. Instead, it's a wrongheaded disaster.

Put another way, Section 31 shows there's more than one path to heroism in the Star Trek universe. These characters should come back, either for a sequel or as part of other projects.

Star Trek: Section 31 will be released on January 24, 2025, on Paramount+ and you can watch the trailer down below. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
