Section 31 was portrayed less as an extremist cabal and more as a misguided morally-grey organization

My interpretation was more that they were "hiding in plain sight" at that point in time - Pike was under the impression that they were some kind of special forces, and learned the truth over the course of the season.

I only watched this trailer once, but I didn't see any insignia, so I think S31's exact status is still TBD.

The only current show that hasn't portrayed them as villains is arguably Lower Decks...

I was trying to temper my expectations, but mobile games are a bit of a letdown, to say the least.

In this case, I'm wondering if, since Spock is the origin of the serum, the crew are somehow reflecting his self-doubts.

Paramount+ has been cancelling shows (which sucks and is bad), but they're certainly not dumping the franchise has a whole.

Prodigy moved to Netflix because the studio - also owned by Paramount - was able to shop it around for a new distributor.

Please, everybody knows Garrett's natural hair colour is blue.

It should be a conspiracy of like-minded individuals that exists parasitically within Starfleet, not an official (or an unofficial official agency).

In fairness, Sloan said they were a branch of Starfleet Intelligence with an official designation in his very first appearance on DS9, and nothing that came after that really contradicted him (other than his obvious lies in "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges").

Whatever liberties have been taken since then, that wasn't one of them.

I feel insufficiently teased!

Yeah, without any evidence whatsoever it feels to me like some kind of plan was changed midstream.

Notaro and Picardo join as series regulars reprising their roles as Jett Reno and The Doctor, and Fehr and Wiseman join as guest stars reprising their roles as Admiral Vance and Sylvia Tilly.

I'm shocked that Notaro will be a series regular, and even more shocked that Wiseman will not.

I was hoping for something more suggestive of the story, but I'm actually very interested in anything that explores growing up in the Mirror Universe.
