I wanted to watch the series again, anyway. It's been a time.

As I remember it, they left it rather ambiguous, which is the actual point.

If moral choices were easy, we wouldn't have to think about them too much.

Yes, the virus ended the war, but at what price?

    I completely agree.

    I've often thought that there must have been plenty of Section 31 operations that didn't rise to the level of, you know, genocide, and that those operations were likely more ambiguous.

    I'm hoping that whatever they're up to in this movie is more in that vein - almost certainly illegal, but probably more ethically murky?

    I think the dark humor is what kills this for me. A “mission impossible” style spy show set in the Star Trek universe would be fine. An empress from the mirror universe who gets her kicks killing and eating people with a wink and a nod to the audience isn’t anything I’m interested in.
