Hopefully everything worked out well for your son.
He's fine now, thanks for asking.
I only didn't like most of DS9 S1, particularly the Allamaraine episode, some of TOS S3, and VOY The Fight. All other episodes and movies had their moments, and were still better than so many other shows and movies. I might end up liking 31 as well, it's just that character I have a problem with. To me it's insane to make someone who hates the Federation and is the opposite of all it stands for a powerful agent in an organization that's upposed to protect the Federation. Giving someone like her such massive power makes no sense. But maybe that leads to Sloan later saying that it takes exceptional people who can sublimate their own ambitions. Her wreaking havoc would also explain why 31 goes back into hiding again after it had become openly known.
There are so many opportunities for character studies in this that I cannot help but be interested in what happens. Yes, I think its an odd match up, but it one those interactions that makes me intruged from a psychological and character point of view.
I think if there were better writers associated with the project, you would definitely have a point. After two seasons of Discovery, I don't trust these writers with something that would need to be a raw and honest character study.
Yeah, after some thought I'm going to disagree a bit. The writing has largely struggled with landing the larger arcs, but I have been interested and invested in all the characters thus far.
S31 might want her not owing to her world view or personal philosophy, but her sheer effectiveness. There would be no need to completely trust her as long as S31 felt they could exercise a degree of control over her actions. The leash might be long, but it is there.
Again, utilitarian. It's the abilities they want, not the personal beliefs. A means to an end.
I don't know why people get so hung up on the hopscotch!
And that is very in line with how Thirty-One was originally characterized on DS9. If they went back to that, I would like the idea much more.
Probably the same with Starfleet, not every officer would be require to be a kool-ade drinking true believer, just willing to carry out their duties to Starfleet satisfaction.
Different officers would have their own individual reasons for joining Starfleet.

The scene does do what it's supposed to - disorientate and have the viewer feel off-edge, the way good sci-fi should.

"Sources" say CBS has made a full series order for the section 31 show.

Not a show I was looking for, but I'll give them the opportunity to impress me. We know Michelle Yeoh has the chops to carry it. I just hope it isn't a replay of Discovery, where we end up with a great cast and mediocre writing.
That article also indicates Disco season 4 will be filming simultaneously with Section 31. Also, that there will be a Disco season 4.
I've got no qualms about Yeoh leading a series, but a mirror universe baddie heading a show about section 31 honestly sounds like a bad fan fiction premise. Trek's most cringe ideas, combined!
As you say though, I'll give them a chance to prove me wrong.
Those "souces" claim the show will film at new sound stages, and I find it a little odd that all the Trek shows are filming in different locations because they're all going to want to reuse the same standing ship sets at some point or another.
It wouldn't be Star Trek otherwise.
