  1. Reached the introduction of Section 31 in Deep Space Nine and even in context it seems like a lazy way to both critique the Federation and compartmentalise that critique compared to the more nuanced and better criticism of the Federation that the show has already done.

      Eddington and the Maquis offer a better critique of the Federation's values and it's heavy reliance on the military than the obvious baddies in black pleather uniforms of Section 31.

        Anyway, I see CBS are producing a Star Trek: Section 31 show and that sounds like a very post-2001 way to explore justifying American imperialism.
