the only thing "unexpected" about Discovery's cancellation is that it took five seasons.

also, the section 31 show is a terrible idea that nobody asked for and I'm not sure anyone really wants. S31 only worked when it was an organization shrouded in mystery, and it was kind of killed as a concept back in Ds9 when they stripped back all those layers of mystery. Not to mention Yeoh's Discovery character is (through no fault of the actress) fucking stupid.
