10 Dumbest Things In Star Trek: Section 31 (2025)
4. Squandering The Gifts Your Momma Gave Ya
Quasi is the second Chameloid, that we know of, to ever appear in Star Trek. Iman portrayed Martia in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, showing off her morphing talents to great effect. With Quasi, there was an opportunity to meet a Chameloid who could help widen the established lore for these mysterious beings.
Instead, we got a 'your momma' joke.
Sam Richardson does well with the material given to him, and we are told had fun with improvisation on set, but Quasi's Chameloid status seems almost meaningless in the grand scheme of things. In a film that seemed intent on playing up the espionage elements of its story, it would have made sense to utilise the one member of the team who can be anyone.
There is one imagined scene in which Michelle Yeoh plays Quasi-playing-Georgiou and another where Omari Hardwick plays Quasi-plying-Alok. Other than that, he turns into a giant starfish.
And that's all.
Bringing back a rarely seen or spoken of alien? Smart.
Failing to use them in any really significant way? Dumb.
