Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 3x10 - "Terra Firma, Part 2"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
I just rewatched the episode. Genuinely haven’t been able to get it out of my head since yesterday. That final scene between Michael and Georgiou is just beautiful.
Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. Good gravy, people! Am I the only one who paid attention in Temporal and Quantum Studies?
Space Hitler yes but I think for once most people are ok with the crying on this occasion and same for the GoF for the most part. Although some YouTube people or something I've never heard of have issues
I was busy reading the Guardian's newspaper.
"Read All About It", indeed!
I really liked this one. It was a very satisfying conclusion to part one, and went very a long way to redeeming Georgiou.
Nice Guardian reveal. Turns out RMB was right, but I'm not seeing why he's so upset over it? Oh wait: He was just raging for clicks.

This one was a definite improvement over part one. I still can only give it a 7. The season has lost focus and they're going back to the MU well too much. However, that said, the conclusion was better than the set up. It was utterly predictable though. We knew that the Georgiou had to end up going back the Prime Universe back in time. Needed to get her there so they can do the S31 show. That's the entire reason they introduced the whole MU and PU are growing more distant thing in the first place.
So, it was obvious in a tedious sense that we knew Georgiou was still going to have to kill Michael. We knew she wasn't going to stay in the MU, or alternate MU, or whatever that was.
I did LOVE seeing the Guardian of Forever! Not sure why that would destroy canon. But I thought it was very cool!
Now, let's hope the season gets back on track!

My interpretation was that was why Saru went with the fiction that Georgiou was deceased.
Fans are going to wonder why the Guardian wasn't "Carl" in TOS, but that was probably because it had never met a human before (based on its line about "before your race was born, I have awaited...a question") and didn't know how to look or act like one.

Plus this was 922 years after "City on the Edge of Forever(TOS)" and a lot can change with a piece of technology already THAT advanced in that many centuries.
In TOS S1 - The Guardian had been offline a lot longer than that as the entire line is:
"Since before your Sun burned hot in Space, and before your race was born, I have awaited a question..."
And if the backstory is correct, remember that a number of races tried to make use of the Guardian during the temporal wars; so who knows how that ultimately affected the machine/being interface and interactions of the Guardian of Forever after all that.
900 years in comparison maybe a short time overall, but continued contact with organic beings over that length of time would allow the guardian to evolve in how it interacts, reacts, and conducts itself after Kirk and Co. reawakened it.
What can happen in nine centuries that hasn't happened in one million years already?
When you have a lot of people interfering with you for nefarious purposes? A lot.
Looks like he had some dealings with the Q.
Crying was definitely not overdone this time and the parting was deservedly emotional.
I don’t think anything about the guardian in this episode contradicts the (very little) previous canon. I think it looked awful, but that’s another matter.
