Have yet to see anything outside of DS9 use Section 31 well. It’s inclusion manages to turn what’s supposed to be a hopeful story of the future into just another police procedural that happens to use Star Trek™ branded props
Yeah it’s nuts how it went from “These are the bad guys. This is antithetical to the point of Star Trek and the Federation.” to “Secret agents in space that can just shoot ‘bad’ guys is cool though right?”
I just wish a single ship weren’t saving the Federation/Galaxy/Multiverse every season.
It also waffles hard between “The important part of the Federation is it’s ideals” and “Section 31 is pretty badass right?”.

The single ship thing is annoying and its in Picard, too.
The single ship thing is annoying and stupid - except, of course, when…
Spoiler for Picard S3
when it’s the Enterprise D. When it’s Enterprise D getting a victory lap, common sense can sit this one out while I enjoy it.
Okay I can’t say I didnt chug that nostalgia juice on that. I totally did. It was sicc.
I have to say, I hated that. It feels like C suite “promote our upcoming show” meddling, to me.
