Michelle Yeoh is Back! What Are Those Weird New Aliens in the Star Trek: Section 31 Movie?
The "Star Trek" universe is about to get even bigger, with a "Star Trek: Section 31" movie, and Michelle Yeoh is the queen of this whole story. But guess what else - this film has two classic Star Trek aliens we hadn’t seen for ages, like, ages!
Those Aliens are Who?
It turns out, those Classic Star Trek Aliens have a place in Michelle Yeoh's Star Trek! And it makes us really excited. So those aliens? Deltans, and Chameloids! If you are a hardcore Star Trek fan - that makes things interesting. It’s super cool that the show is making these comebacks!
But Who's That Deltan?
It’s going to be Humberly Gonzalez! Remember that Star Trek: The Motion Picture with Deltan Lieutenant Ilia! If you are a Star Trek fanatic you'll remember this! She was one of the key members of the USS Enterprise.
- Remember how they have that really awesome "Lost Era" of Star Trek? You know, from after the original series ended until the beginning of The Next Generation! It's really rare to see characters that belong to that period! And in "Section 31" they will have a big role - we just gotta be patient, because it looks like the producers aren't letting us see all the cool stuff right away!
- In case you were curious about these aliens, they are pretty memorable! You have Deltans who are known for having smooth heads - no hair - and having a kind of strong attraction to sex. If they are in Star Trek, that makes me think they could throw some kind of time travel twist!
- And don't forget about Betazoids! They are from a completely different world. If you like, you might even check out the show "Star Trek: The Next Generation", because the amazing Counselor Deanna Troi from that show is a Betazoid, and those are connected to those Deltans!
Is that a Chameloid in the "Section 31" Movie?
- It totally is! It's Sam Richardson and you know it is going to be funny! You should definitely keep an eye out for his performance as the Chameloid! If you remember that whole thing with those Changeling from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine!
- He's basically a shape-shifting alien and that makes things super crazy! But if you love those classic alien movies from 1979, then this is awesome because you can see them doing their best shapeshifting tricks - like in "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" from 1979, they really turned things up a notch, too! We haven't seen anything quite like that.
- If you really love Star Trek you might even recall the Gamma Quadrant where they fought against those changelings called the Dominion in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and the later seasons of "Star Trek Picard". It's amazing to see those Star Trek aliens! That whole alien community in "Star Trek"!
Looks like Paramount+ really has something special planned with "Star Trek: Section 31". Fans are hyped, not only to see Michelle Yeoh, but also these other characters! And even the return of those Aliens from way back in the day. The producers want us to explore all these cool "Star Trek" stories! And let's not forget Star Trek The Motion Picture 1979 which had all sorts of "Star Trek" magic to it!
