I loved Michelle Yeoh as the emperor, a spinoff where everything is focused on her? Sign me up. Star Trek has space for a "darker" side of the Federation imho

Counterpoint: Star Trek with a “main character” is no good. Recent shows make that pretty clear.

Also, just personally; I've never been a fan of a Star Trek having a "Darker" side. Most of the old shows that talked of S31 or a darker side was always rogue actors, and the Federation never openly acknowledged them. Go back to dismantling S31, not pretending its a necessary villian to achieve your goals.

This. So much this. I hate what Discovery did with S31. The Federation isn't the Federation with an official black ops gestapo running around.

Also, I love Michelle Yeoh but I am way more interested in the Capt. Georgiou we missed out on than the genocidal maniac Empress we got.
