    Well, are the writers of Section 31 the same? Seems rather early (and harsh) to say, Nope, nay never.*

    *slight hyperbole for fun.

    We don't know? But it seems logical that as a spinoff, Section 31 would have at least some writers come over from Discovery.

    The article is from late-2019, but there's no indication there have been any changes.

    Doesn't really sound like they're going to dig too deep into her background as Space Hitler.

    Fair enough. However, I will remain optimistic. Largely because I believe that the writers could do a lot more in exploring the character as a main character, like they have done with Burnham. But, I'm that weird guy who believes that Burnham showed good character development.

    Section 31’s plans have changed considerably since 2019.

    For starters, both Bo Yeon Kim and Erika Lippoldt have left to work on Sweet Tooth for Netflix, and Craig Sweeney took their place as S31’s showrunner/creative head.

    So another Star Trek: Discovery writer is heading up the show.

    I'm sure Section 31 was all up in the Temporal Wars.

    It...doesn't really sound like a Section 31 show at all. It sounds like they're describing Strange New Worlds.

    I REALLY hope that Section 31 is llllonnnnggg gone by the 30th/31st century.

    If we do get a Section 31 show, I'd love it to bring back that "Context is For Kings" vibe. A crew that dislikes and distrusts each other, openly. Mysteries on board that need investigating.

    They Flanderized the ever-loving hell out of Discovery since then.

    Would probably work better that way.

    Why would Dominic Keating know about this?

    Apparently "his name came up"

    We don't know what year Carl spits Georgiou out, it's only assumption it's back in the 23rd century with Ash Tyler and the aftermath of Disco S2.

    Its not like there many options for known Section 31 agents to return if they are being brought back.

    After ENT S4
    After DIS S2
    After DS9 S7/ During LD/The hypothetical DS9 S8
    Around STID in the Kelvinverse, as that universe has its own Section 31

    Let's see ...

    1, 2, 3 ... three Disco-era shows on at the same time. :shifty:

    What is wrong with this picture? :vulcan:

    S31 would be better off as a movie. They're doing Mission: Impossible right now on Picard!

    I'm really bad at math here. SNW and (possibly) 31 at the same time?

    Are we wanting more spin offs?
