Spoilers General Disco Chat Thread

Just for fun, I decided to try reimagining a scene from "Trials and Tribble-ations." Disco style.

Maybe in the MU Georgiou considers it like turnabout is fair play to feast on Kelpians since they also feasted on another sapient species. Not that it makes either of them right to do so, but it would add some interesting context to the situation.

That....might actually add enough nuance to rescue Mirror Georgeau from the "Space Cannibal!" accusations people have been throwing at the character (myself included). Assuming the showrunners think to do something like that this season and/or as part of the Section 31 series.

I don't know about rescuing the Emperor from accusations. She seems to invite them from the pearl clutching crowd every time she has even a few words with Burnham. For instance lines to the effect of:

"Did you kill YOUR mother?"

"It's a blur."

The conversations between those two takes me back to watching Blake's Seven and the dynamic between Blake and Avon. Star Trek has never really been allowed to have an Avon type character in a major role, and any of us who actually like such characters are enjoying her immensely.,

Also: please don't ignore the transgender fans

Nobody knows their experiences most except them as individuals even if they're part of a community. There's plenty of nuance, I'm always open to listening to people, especially if they are sincere. And while I can only speak for myself, but how many human beings wish to be pandered to? Isn't that supposed to be insulting or something? That's what some people tell me. Some sci-fi characters who are said to be like me are nothing like me and there are people more like me who are nothing like me in said attribute I'm supposed to be able to relate to. Seems weird, surely? Actually, it's not weird in the slightest... not because sci-fi is about experiencing others, which by default suggests being pandered to might be contradictary?

Count me there. She's fucking FUN personified.
 
Section 31 is/was the most conceptually bankrupt idea in the franchise's history. No amount of lipstick will change that.

I'm not a fan either...but my massive love for all things Yeoh make me believe she might just be able to pull it off.

Yeoh > Lipstick on a pig
