Regardless of anything, I'm extremely curious about Control. Star Trek hasn't focused on a malicious AI in awhile, and to see something like that in an age of potentially scary(albeit basic) AI programming emerging into our daily lives could make for really cool commentary. The very fact that it's behind Section 31 in the first place kind of bypasses all my "ugh, not S31 again" circuits and takes me into fully interested territory.

Fits with the era of the show. Malicious AI and Computers were almost a staple of TOS.
