They announced the pivot to a streaming movie in April 2023.

I dunno, from what we've seen on DS9 and Enterprise, Section 31 is willing to recruit operatives to fulfil their goals - we saw that in Malcom Reed and Bashir as Starfleet personnel, but also Koval, who was a Romulan agent.

A S31 agent like Alok Sahar, who operates outside the Federation and has the authority to recruit people to achieve the ogranization's goals, makes a kind of sense to me. A Deltan and a Chameloid both make sense from a spycraft perspective.

If anything, this iteration of S31 could show a progression from the out-in-the-open, "special forces" iteration of the group that we saw in Discovery, to the complete disavowal of DS9.

There's been speculation over whether he's a Vulcan or a Romulan, but I think this description points to him being a Vulcan who rejects Surak's teachings.

Melle

This might be the first confirmation that she is, in fact, Deltan. Seems like an asset for spy shit.

"Nightclub owner" is pretty far from where I expected her to land after "Terra Firma." It's kind of funny that they describe her as "unable to return to the Terran Empire," when that is something she decidely did not want to do by the end.

Why do they have basic attributes of fictional characters? Tough to say...

Precision is important.

Totally fair. And like I said, the convention is already messed up, so anything's possible really.

Jennifer says she is being transferred to the USS Manitoba, which from the name might be a Parliament-class starship (the others we know of being Toronto and Vancouver).

In theory, that would break the banking convention - a Parliament class ship should be the Winnipeg in order to maintain it.

Maybe there's a Provincial class?

Edit: I should add the the banking convention was arguably broken from day one, since the legislative seat of BC is Victoria, not Vancouver.

What did everyone think? I slipped into a fugue state when I saw actual Gallamites.

Aside from the obvious space angle, it seems more like a "Suicide Squad" vibe to me, which makes a little more sense, I think.

Their marketing tone is not what I expected at all, but I'm still interested in what the heck this thing will be.

I just want a sense of what the actual story is.

I just want to see Janeway's plan. She has no plan!
