Yes, I have to agree that this is the big problem with the Area 31 film. I mean, technically it involved the organization but it didn't even need to for the plot we got.

From what another poster on DW stated (selenak) - apparently Section 31 was supposed to be a series, got truncated into a film, and the series writers (two women) weren't allowed to adapt it to the film - all of which would have been problematic. Everyone who has posted on it - has said the same things, it's okay to watch - but probably as background noise. And they were disappointed.

Oh boy, what a mess. I didn't realize that the series had been written for at the time that it got changed to the film adaptation. Given all the delays it seemed obvious that Michelle Yeoh wouldn't be able to commit to something series length, especially as the star.

Yup, they intended on the series happening during or directly after Discovery, and before Yeoh's career took off after Everything, Everywhere, All at Once.
