J.C. Brandy was 17 when she guest-starred on the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Tapestry." Patrick Stewart was 52 during that episode. In the episode, their characters kiss and sleep together.

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.

It’s a fun vibe that gives the entire cast a chance to ham things up, but whenever Section 31 slows down to zoom in on Georgiou’s inner turmoil, you can sense how much more substance there could have been to these characters if they were fleshed out over the course of a series.
