Haven't watched it just yet, but at least now I know to get good and sloshed first.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I never understood the love for her Star Trek characters. It seems that people who hated Discovery at least complimented the Emperor Georgiou character as a high point. She is far from bad, but I just don't get it.
I didn't like her character ("mwahaha I'm so evil and smart, I'm such a villain, aren't I?") up until we had the episode where she was sent back to the mirror universe and she became repulsed by having Kelpian slaves/eating them, and, well, her old life in general.
Up until that point she thought seeing the prime universe hadn't changed her. She thought prime universe humanity was weak because it sought power through cooperation rather than cementing themselves as the one absolute power. Going back and seeing her universe again through a different lense completely shattered her previously-held perceptions and beliefs. It suddenly dawned on her that she was wrong all along, and was ready to admit it and to make a change in her life.
Finally we had some depth to her (I'm sorry, "I'm evil but I love Michael Burnham because she's the flawless main character" is not character depth), but then they ended her story.
You want character depth? The cool thing about her are the Lex-Luthor style plots where she is clearly evil but her goals are not.
Character depth isn't even a Star Trek thing... ST is more about entire plot depth, not single characters.
She would totally steal 40 cakes, AND eat them.
i wish we got to spend more time with Captain Georgiou. she saw potential in Michael when no one else did, but didn't see the disrepency between what she was and could be. she paid the ultimate price for making her the xo, and it arguably led to a quadrant wide war. that's interesting! the Emperor always felt to me like an excuse to reuse an actor and just came across like more noise in a season that already had too many anttagonists.
The war wasn't Burnham's fault in any way. T'Kuvma was starting a war one way or the other. Georgiou might have survived with a different first officer, though.
