Marcie, Staci and host Y. M. Nelson continue their discussion of Star Trek Section 31. They analyze other characters, talk about the show's future, and give this one a Goodreads rating.

This action-packed movie follows Emperor Georgiou as she joins the secretive Section 31, a covert division tasked with doing Starfleet's "dirty work"—all while facing the ghosts of her past. But does it merit a series or even a sequel?

We discuss:
🌌 Pan and Philippa's relationship
📍 The Cast of Characters: what do we think?
⭐ Final verdict – We rate it using the Goodreads star system!
🔮 Bonus: A couple of Easter Eggs

If you're a Trekkie, a sci-fi movie lover, or just wondering if Star Trek: Section 31 is worth your time, check out this review and then like, comment, and subscribe for more nerdy and romantic episodes.

Is Star Trek: Section 31 a must-watch sci-fi movie or a Trek spin-off flop? 🤔 In this episode, host Y. M. Nelson and guest cohosts Marcie and Staci give their honest review of this highly anticipated Star Trek film starring Michelle Yeoh as Emperor Philippa Georgiou. WARNING: This episode is full of spoilers!

This action-packed movie follows Georgiou as she joins the secretive Section 31, a covert Starfleet division tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets—all while facing the ghosts of her past. But does it live up to the hype?

We discuss:

🖖 Michelle Yeoh’s performance – Does she steal the show?
🚀 The story pacing – Engaging or uneven and too fast?
🌌 The ensemble cast – Standouts and weak links
🔮 Future predictions – Where could the story go next?
