    My headcanon of Sec31, is that the Federation hasn’t figured out what to do about sociopaths yet so they do what any government does to its sociopaths: tell them they’re the good guys and make them spies. Except the Federation is actually evolved beyond that so they just make Sec31 teams chase each other, each team thinking it is chasing some existential threat when really its just another team of sec31 chasing some threat, thinking they are being pursued by the enemy

      Didn’t they mention some mental cure in Dagger of the Mind? (Sorry, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen TOS.)

        You could be right! That’s why it’s headcanon, I don’t have to check against actual canon

    I watched about the first 15 minutes of the Section 31 show and gave up when instead of being introduced to the best minds in the Federation that perform successful massive galaxy-spanning clandestine missions, we get Star Trek version of Suicide Squad with quirky misfits. The writers squandered the 15 years of Star Trek shows telling us about how good Section 31 in about 5 minutes of screen time on this one-shot show.

      So you have fallen prey to their previous propaganda on how good they are… nah, scrap it, let’d not retcon this at all. I might have made it a little further than you into the movie, I absolutely don’t recall because it was so bad. This is the first Star Trek media I actually stopped watching, for me this never ever happened before.
