[AutoAdmin]

A new news article has been published at TrekToday:

In another interview conducted by TrekMovie at last week’s NYCC, actors Anthony Rapp and Wilson Cruz spoke about their characters’ relationship, and...

I'm glad there will be a second chance to see the dynamics between Stamets and Culber.

Despite everyone with pitchforks and molotov cocktails who were yelling about the "bury your gays" trope...I think this was part of the plan all along. There was a quote from Anthony Rapp saying (before the death scene) something aobu show the relationship was going to transcend somehow.

Showrunners assured everyone that this was "not the end of the story" as soon as the episode premiered. I think they always intended to somehow bring Culber back and have that be a great ongoing story.

Just like in The kelvinverse, death has been cured...

nope

nope

I've explained at length why it isn't remotely ''cured'' but apparently some Trekkies skulls are made of something Starfleet would kill to be able to make starship hulls from.

By “cured” I mean they find a way to bring the dead back and make death meaningless, stripping characters death of any emotion. Culbers death was poorly handled and his return will be meh. But that’s DIS for you...

Bringing people back from the dead only works if done sparingly. If it's done too much then death becomes meaningless. Supernatural, I'm looking at you.

Discovery in 15 episodes has already brought back everyone they've killed off with few exceptions.

They didn’t bring back anyone

Mirror Counterparts don’t count as they’re not the same person

Death meaningless..

Kirk sacrificed himself for a crew of 2000, crawling inside a matter/antimatter reaction fully expecting to die. He couldn't bring himself to look Spock in the eye as he died, knowing from the 2009 movie how much pain he was causing him. He suffered a two week long coma that McCoy could just about joke about when he came around, and Bones is *the* man to make the macabre joke. It lingered on Spock's mind to leave Starfleet altogether, and Bones never fully lightened up, Carol left. Kirk faced an entire crisis of conscience in the next movie over not only living but what he believed was beyond the time he was meant to.

Discovery well, someone lost the love of their life. And he will get him ''back'' as something he cannot touch or truely be with every again, haunting him literally.

That is nowhere near ''meaningless''.

I rather liked Culber, he was concerned about Ripper and had a calming sense of self. In a sea of confrontational characters, egos and mirror caricatures his nature was needed. His death was violent and almost casual. His loss barely recognised before it was business as usual. Not sure the writers did this couple a service by killing one off so soon and the promise of a Culber as some kind of ether entity (or whatever it will be) seems wishy-washy to me.

If they are going to bring him back just do it. Bodily as well. Yep, I would be one of the first to whinge that no one actually died on Discovery with cheats versions popping up everywhere, but in the long run I'd rather have Culber back proper than several of the others.

Maybe Culber has transcended (partially). Maybe he comes from and goes to the mycelial network.

Culber the White will wear.. ok he'll have the same uniform, but he'll be able to kill Balrogs with ease.
