A police state in Star Trek? What did I miss?
Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x13 - "What's Past Is Prologue"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Georgiou will be used abused and disposed of (though she will probably necessitate execution by trying to double cross Burnham who's an idiot).
Why is everyone trying to write convoluted stories? the writers are no better than 10 year olds so I'm willing to bet the first thing that comes into my head is closer to the truth than anything that requires a day or two's planning.

I find that very unlikely.
The Prime Directive says it's perfectly okay for the Emperor to have done that.
Remember the TNG episode when Wesley was almost executed.
Georgiou in normal conditions would have the run of the Federation.
The Federation might be a different animal though if it is skirting total defeat. They could easily be summarily interning 'security threats' on the authority of some wartime decree.

I dunno. I mean, lost human colonies are not covered by the Prime Directive even if they don't join the Federation. Would the Terran Empire be treated as a "lost colony" or an alien society?
No, actually, it didn't.

Also, for the preview for next episode, it looks like MU Georgiou takes her place as Discovery's answer to Seven of Nine (for at least a few scenes) as liberated-bad-guy-who-doesn't-want-to-be-liberated-but-uses-her-bad-guy-tactics-to-help-the-good-guys since they seemed to have dropped the Seven-lite characterization that Michael had the first half of the season.[/QUOTE]
We'll see about that. Trailers often give viewers the wrong impression. Just like trailer from Episode 13 that showed Lorca holding the Emperor's sword and stood near her throne, indicating he has successfully killed her and became the new Emperor, while in the actual episode it's the other way around.
Won't be surprised if MU Georgiou offers to Starfleet to help the Klingons only to betray them later, then Burnham would have to kill her before she could cause more damage to the Prime Universe.

Sounds like the federation needs a place were humans and aliens can come together to work out their differences peacefully. It would be a port of call a home away from home for diplomants, hustlers, and wanderers and the last best hope for peace.
The year is 2369, the name of the place: Deep Space Nine.
Fans criticize the characters for doing unStarfleet-like things. Fans criticize characters for doing very Starfleet-like things.
It's a symptom of not liking the show apparently.
Although I wouldn't say anything so crude, part of that has actually been quite true. The first thing that pops into my head usually turns out to be what happens. Or even if it popped into someone else's head. The simplest predictions are usually the most accurate.
Finger lickin' good.
Huh? We've spread out across the galaxy, overcrowding should be a thing of the past.
Double huh? When did it imply that?
I assume robocop in the kid-Kirk scenes? Doesn't exactly suggest police state that they have traffic cops in the future. Especially when the step-father knew the kid had stolen the car and obviously called the authorities.
As someone who worked in the acting industry a few decades ago, I will try to offer a perspective on this. Films have always held more prestige than TV shows. It's just the way it is. It pays way better for one thing. Then there's the shorter time commitment and/or less long term relocation requirements. Then there are the shorter hours per day in general. Then there are the opportunities to play a wider variety of characters to satisfy that artistic urge, rather than be locked down into one role for years on end. Yes, a steady pay check is a fantastic boon for an actor, but if you're as well-known and in demand as Isaacs is, then a one season contract makes a lot of sense. Sure he's not Brad Pitt tier, but there are many reasons why actors choose earning more money and fame while working far less actual hours, over a grueling TV schedule.
Isaacs himself has said that he would only sign on for a one year contract. That was his choice and he had enough star power to make that demand. Hopefully he enjoyed being on the show and will be open to coming back as a recurring character in the future.
This.
Isaacs is a busy guy. In 2017 alone he had completed filming on 3 movies and has 2 in post-production for 2018. It's understandable that he would only want a short term commitment to a tv series.
Disappointing end to the Mirror Saga for me, Lorca becoming a paint by the numbers bad guy who was easily defeated was a real poor ending to one of the best Trek characters in decades.
Burnham is slowly morphing into Discovery's version of Wesley Crusher, there is literally no problem she can't overcome.
Stamets and Tilly looked lost explaining the Technobabble solution to getting back to Prime universe, I'm at a loss as to why MU Phillipa wasn't seeking revenge on Burnham for her part in her downfall, likewise I'm at a loss as to why Burnham chose to save Phillipa and bring her back to Prime.
We were finally offered a possible solution to the Mycelial network problem when MU Stamets was contaminating and destroying it, that was quickly snatched away by MU Stamets explaining that destruction of the network would result in all life in every universe being exterminated, that'll be that then.
Still....... Saru coming into his own and taking command was good, FX were good, no Kelpians were eaten. These are all good things.

Hmm..well, they were beamed out of a storm. And then Burnham mutinied and Georgiou stuck a bomb in a body. But..nah. XD
