Is Lorca Captain enough to save the Admiral?

It's all a matter of context.

Context, it's for kings!!!

I like your idea and reasoning. There's nothing sexist about two women bonding through adversity. It's could be a bromance, but in reverse.

Homance?... *runs*

If it serves Lorca's vision of the "greater good", he'll let the Klingons turn Cornwell into Admiral McNuggets.

I suspect they will try to save her but fail due to unforeseen circumstances or a direct order to destroy the ship/installation she is on.

What I do know is that there will be "Grey Areas".

Actually that would have been a great name for the ship.

Very Iain M Banks.

 

[Ridcully]

Context of Grey areas.....kill them all!

Announce "We Come In Peace"

Then "Shoot to Kill".

Lorca Attacks.....
After realeasing the dows of peace!!
Green death beams in abundance!

I wonder if they will get her back, but we'll lose someone else? However, since she was tortured, she's have similar PTSD as Lorca, and probably drop her case against him, or not be able to put up said case, since by the same token she's not be able to serve as Admiral. So getting her back could be just as much a win for Lorca and her dying, but getting her back has benefits.

So is this going to be an example of Discovery's hero Captain? Is he going to save Cornwell? Or is he going to wimp out and all of a sudden wait for orders? Let's be honest orders mean shit to him when he's looking after his own skin. He's killed a whole crew before to save them from Klingon torture.

I fully expect him to save Katrina.. yes?

On his own (like he's done before) - no. IF Starfleet orders him to, he will. Again, he wanted her to go on that mission and had a good idea what wouyld probably happen, so yeah, he wants to keep command and hopes she doesn't return.

I wouldn't mind seeing him wrestle with not rescuing her, then deciding that he can't let her die, authorize the extraction and then only to have it fail because he didn't act quickly enough.

More torment for Lorca that way, and he's been playing torment so well lately.

Im kinda hoping she dies somewhat senselessly, and we then get PTSD'd Lorca wrestling with it via hallucinations of her, a haunting of himself by way of his memory of her so to speak.

Honestly.. think about it... Kats definitely going to have a different outlook on the War after her visit with the Klingons.. she might even start sleeping with a Phaser under her pillow too. Once you've stared into hell.. you may not think being a bit paranoid is not a good thing.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Spoiler.. reference.

You see Katrina looking at instruments of torture. Poor thing.

That's because she's planning to torture Lorca. She's on a shopping spree.

So dual phaser play when they get back together? With mutual chocking of course.

Her relationship status on Spacebook: It's complicated.

 

[Ithekro]

Which one of them is cool enough to pull off a McCoy? "So are you going to chock me or shoot me?" And them make a recommendation about either for a better kill.

One of them better be a Mind Sifter!

I think the order to attempt a rescue will be denied - he will therefore do it anyway. Whether he will succeed or not is the question, imo.

I wonder how much we are reading into this that the characters supposedly would not. Or are too stupid to. I mean Sarek attending wasn't necessarily going to be him walking into a trap, otherwise why would anyone risk him or any one for that matter? Why is it now assumed it was an obvious trap (apart from us seeing it was because we are smart viewers). I'm not sure what the whole idea of such 'talks' was supposed to achieve if it was always going to be an ambush. And if it was a given that it was an ambush then why not be more prepared.

To me it is convenient now to say Lorca knew Katrina would be at risk because we know she has threatened him.

It was always going to be a trap for who ever showed up.

Lorca didn't know, but he was more than willing to use what happened to his advantage.

 

[Refuge]

Yes from the Klingons' agenda it was a win/win they would get Sarek or in this case a Star Fleet Admiral. How come our lot (Starfleet/Vulcans) didn't figure this out?
