    I was really disappointed in the last season of Discovery, but I was able to watch it to completion.

    However, I watched the first 15 minutes of Section 31 and turned it off without any intention of every watching it. I love Star Trek and have seen everything ever aired. I doubt I’ll ever see whatever remains of Section 31. It was that bad. No one asked for or wanted “Suicide Squad but Star Trek”, but they did it anyway. They even took the carefully crafted lore of Section 31 throughout all of Star Trek and flushed the intelligent, noir, difficult philosophical questions, and flushed them with gag humor and “over the top characters”.

      Oh, trust me on this—Section 31 only got worse and worse and worse, to the point where you think it couldn’t get worse… then it blew my expectations even more. The only Star Trek source material included in the entire movie was the title and the name of two protagonists. Absolutely NOTHING about it was Star Trek, or even remotely a parody of.

      It managed to outdo the absolute desecration and crime against humanity that Luc Besson did with Valerian.

      Actually, both movies should go in the same garbage bin, then set on digital fire, never to be recovered again.

      This movie should be disavowed even more than those two Star Wars spin-off movies made in the start of the 80’s…
