Star Trek: Discovery – 1×12 – “Our bond, it seems, is strong enough to cross universes.”

Tagsand I don't think killing and then episodes later bringing back alt versions is any way to do things, and I just can't help loving the amount of LOVE between these two, and I love how good and earnest michael is that people instinctively start to work with her as a team, and that makes michael look at georgiou like THAT not because she's got a knife to her throat but because she would NEVER do that, and that would make michael carry around captain georgiou's badge to be handed over as proof, and that's how the big reveal happened, and to listen to her and give her a chance to explain, but I said last week I hate so much of what this show does...I did not hate this, but wow, even if emperor georgiou is horrible and makes me yearn for captain georgiou all the more, I don't know what'll happen I still miss the characters and world we started with, MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD:, michael burnham, michelle yeoh, okay! I can admit I was wrong! while I still don't love how readily they kill and torture especially POC this all was a surprise, philippa georgiou, sonequa martin green, star trek discovery, star trek discovery spoilers, the love that made georgiou kill her own high council just to keep this michael's secret safe, the love that would make lorca cross universes to track down the one person who makes georgiou vulnerable, what a twist and payoff...I guess I never thought they'd go there because they'd never reframe it with a white dude not being so central, which was a REVEAL!

Hello! I would just like to tell you I absolutely love reading your commentary in the tags of your posts. I look forward to reading them on every gifset! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!
when i started watching star trek discovery, i thought at least michael a crush on prime philippa. then the narrative kept insisting their relationship with mother/daughter so i threw my hands in the air and said ig! and now when i watched that scene, i was all ??? this doesn’t read as platonic to me. it can’t be just me seeing things with my own two lesbian eyes (1/2)
First off, I admire your patience with your answers to all the asks, thank you for your thoughtful replies.I have seen lots of frustration and disappointment with the Maya/Carina storyline/airtime in s4 so far on Station 19 and I find it fascinating and strange at how quickly people are forgetting the covid pandemic isn’t just a storyline, it’s real life for everyone right now, including the cast and production team. (That’s a general observation – not one I’ve ever sensed you to have through your responses BTW). That we have had any onscreen, close physical contact nevermind actual physical intimacy that requires the actors to kiss etc is a huge luxury. I don’t know what the exact rules are for the acting industry in the USA at the moment, but in the UK the rules are still strict for actors and were even stricter earlier in the year (at around the time the episodes just broadcast would have been filmed). And just this week Tom Cruise has been widely (and positively) reported about for making sure that the severity of the risks are to the industry and how much effort is being put in by those that can have shows/films in production right now to keep the industry alive for when it hopefully gets a little bit easier.And yes, it’s frustrating to see our favourite story lines within ensemble shows get a ‘lesser’ spotlight than others, especially when the others are the heteronormative, ‘mainstream’ ones.We have no idea what plan A was for s4 – it’s a casualty of covid, twice over. First because the broader narrative was adjusted to accommodate it, almost like the introduction of an additional series member to the ensemble. And second because they have to come up with stories that can be told through scenes filmed in ways that the cast, crew, studio etc are prepared to do because they feel they can do them safely.COVID kills, still by the thousand, every hour and day now, 9+ months after the first lockdowns and shelter in place orders etc. So much of life is unrecognisable for so many because of it, because they have lost people they care about, jobs, homes… And things taken for granted 10 months ago are almost forgotten about, condemned to ancient history because they just can’t happen safely.Yet we have new episodes on TV, made by people who were prepared to hug and kiss and put themselves as elevated risk of catching a seriously scary disease because it was something they could do to help us all, collectively feel like life still goes on.(we could have ended s3 at episode 15 and still be waiting for s4 to start filming….yet we have French Toast that’s better than sex!) Personally, I’m just so glad that we have had Maya and Carina on screen again in 2020 and that the storyline has survived COVID in the real world. Yes, it would be great if it was more and different and all the things as fans we always want. And hopefully it will be nearer that by the end of s4’s whole arc. And if it isn’t? I think I’ll cross that bridge when it comes. Hopefully at a point in 2021 when COVID-19 is no longer a main cast member of our lives… On screen and and in real life.
