Other than Michelle Yeoh's Philippa Georgiou, Kacey Rohl's Rachel Garrett is the only Star Trek legacy character in Section 31 and she's a big deal.

What was once in development as a TV show packs quite a bit into a feature film. Star Trek: Section 31 brings Michelle Yeoh back in her Discovery role of Philippa Georgiou, working alongside, albeit reluctantly, the black ops unit.

Regardless of how you ultimately feel about the tone Section 31 goes for—which definitely leans hard into trying to be cool and cynically jokey a lot of the time—and perhaps even regardless of how threadbare most of the primary cast is treated by Section 31 ‘s script,

Kacey Rohl's Lt. Rachel Garrett is one of the best characters in Star Trek: Section 31, and the film deserves a sequel just for her.

It's a fine excuse to occasionally watch Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh kick things, but Section 31 is otherwise a deeply incurious squandering of Star Trek potential.

Section 31 lacks Star Trek iconography, and bringing back this classic starship from the Mirror Universe would have helped.
