Star Trek Section 31 just got auto arrd and oh wow the ratings are really shit. Has anyone watched it yet, and is it really that bad?
After the ratings I removed it from my scheduled radarr pull, I'll add it manually as a Discovery Special.
Section 31 sounds like the worst take on Star Trek, if they wanted to be free from the ethos they should have created a team and ship outside the federation.
Am a massive Trekkie: section 31 itself has a place in canon considering particularly DS9 which is why I'm assuming I added it, but yeah, sounds like they needed to make something outside the federation or just a different sci-fi film altogether that isn't related to Trek.
It works when the writing and performance is at the quality of In the Pale Moonlight, it's just too difficult a nuanced subject to cover which conflicts with the tone and style they're going for now.
