Anyone afraid The Red Angel reveal will be a letdown

[XCV330]

Every professional writer knows more than armchair critics about how to do what they are doing.

Good batters strike out and legendary quarterbacks get sacked. That does not make the sports-obsessed couch potatoes shouting at their big screens the athletic equals of the players. Even the third-string players and bench warmers are better at the game than 99.99% of the fans.

And sometimes a writer is just not very good. Code of Honor was a pile of crap that should have never made it out of the brain, down to the fingertips and onto the IBM Selectric keys. That particular gem was co-written by a one-miss-wonder who never wrote anything else for tv, ever, and Katharyn Powers who probably shouldn't have.

The red helmet comes off and we are treated to an inspiring speech about gazelles.

The latest episode is looking uncomfortably Temporal Cold War-ish. That’s why I’m starting to worry it’s going to tie in to Enterprise. The probe was updated in the 28th century, a time which we know is right around that time frame.

It’s also starting to seem like there might be competing time travelers here.

 

[CommanderRaytas]

I DON'T MIND THE GAZELLE SPEECH!!!! * thunderclap *

There, I yelled it dramatically at the skies.

Bring. It.

Don't worry it might tie into ENT. Accept it. Embrace it.

 

[Lord Garth]

I hope that too. I also hope it's not Burnham.

What if it's Sisko?

Sarah Sisko, maybe.

 

[CommanderRaytas]

As long as it's not a Bajoran, we're cool.

 

[Draculasaurus]

Again guys, those hips on the figure in the suit strongly suggest that whoever the Red Angel is, it's a woman.

Saru might have just imagined the womanly shape.
They had just fired the mega Kelpian puberty ray at the whole planet.

 

[TrickyDickie]

I don't care if it's Bobby Ewing in the fucking sonic shower.

At least it already feels like its being handled better than the TCW in ENT.

I don't know if your statement above is the epitome of bravery, or the very heart of foolhardiness...but either way...

 

[CommanderRaytas]

A little bit of both, I guess. All I know is that I REGRET NOTHING!!!!!!

Thank you, dear.

Future Guy: Hi everyone! Miss me? Now you will finally know who I really am!

(aged Jonathan Archer shows up)

(everyone groans and Spock vows never to mention these ridiculous events ever again).

Except for me. I cheer, and then Old Man Archer and I fly off at ludicrous speed. He can gazelle-speech me any time.

Like I said: BRING IT!

 

[JirinPanthosa]

Then the red angel takes off her helmet, and it’s a venerable T’Pol. “John, you need to remember who you are! You can’t keep punishing yourself for Trip! It wasn’t your fault!”

Then Kes shows up. “Don’t listen to her! She’s an impostor!” At which point she is hit by an energy blast from T’Pol, causing her memory loss and insanity.

 

[CommanderRaytas]

As long as it’s not Archer.

We might be on our way to becoming mortal enemies. Or, alternatively, I'll just keep Archer and you can get your perfect candidate. Win-win!

 

[Mage]

No letdown for me. Because I'm not theorizing the shit out of it. I'm just going with the flow, seeing how it unfolds.

 

[Yistaan]

Maybe Future Guy was Nero the whole time. I mean, maybe everyone took the stardate of 2387 as an Earth date too literally. Spock actually lived a lot longer than we thought.

If you think about it, someone who watched the franchise in chronological order, with Enterprise first and then Star Trek (2009), and knows nothing else about Star Trek would probably think Nero was Future Guy.

Okay, hear me out:

Red Angel is... [drum-roll]

Ash/Voq and L’Rell’s child, back from the future - as their baby went to be raised in a monastery, that was secretly being used for weapons testing by the Vulcan High Command.

During one such test by the VC, using an experimental Red Matter they discovered, baby LAshVoq was propelled into the future by a blast from beneath the monastery...

Instead of being killed, the baby was adopted by Ripper, who has been out there, surfing the Mycelial network across multi-dimensional space. Now fully grown this being is now returning back in time, in an organic exosuit design by Ripper, who has spent thousands of years (all at once) upskilling and teaching itself engineering, to while away the time spent in the verse...

Blah, blah, blah- [End transmission]

Spontaneous bad fanfic! huzzah!

[saddestmoon drops mic which bounces back up and hits him deservedly in the face]

 

[DaveyNY]

One would think that the "let down would already have occurred for some, since we now know that the Red Angel is a ...

Spoiler

Humanoid in a Spacesuit.

 

[CommanderRaytas]

It's beautiful!

I don't know about that, some guys have big hips also...
