Rest In Peace, Mirror Universe Gabriel Lorca, Space Asshole.
Wouldn't it be great if we meet PU Lorca, and he too turns out to be the same Space Asshole, just with the right federation motives?

Condescension, the new fragrance from Vulcan.Not condescension?
I'm pretty sure in TOS most everything revolved around Kirk being the great Captain Kirk.
I'm pretty sure in TNG most everything revolved around Picard being the great Captain Picard.
I'm pretty sure in VOY most everything revolved around Janeway being the great Captain Janeway
I'm pretty sure in ENT most everything revolved around Archer being the great Captain Archer.
Get the idea? The main character in Discovery is Burnham.
It was worth googling.ok that's the best thing I've read today, anywhere. I will never rewatch this the same way again.
So slow down to change course? Drop from warp 9 to sublight every time? Sorry, not buying it.
He and Mirror Michael are holed up in a love nest somewhere.I think I'm still in mourning. Poor Lorca.
I'm just holding out hope that he's somehow in the network and can pop up in Stamets' mind, or that Prime Lorca is safe and well somewhere.
Stop with the Mary-Sue. She's not a Mary-Sue. If you think so, you don't know the definition. A Mary-Sue is when the writer (a fan-fic writer) writes a character (main or not) that represents THEM and can help or solve the problem the main character(s) has. Burnham IS the main character. PERIOD. By definition, she can't be a Mary-SueWhich is unfortunate, because she's a divisive Mary Sue character played by a mediocre actress.
But I disagree with what you posted above. Part of the reason Kirk is awesome is he is part of a trinity; Kirk, Spock, Bones.... he isn't 'great' without them. It's the ego/superego/id relationship.
With Burnham, everyone just tells us how great she is.... it's forced. The most unfortunate instance of this was Lorca yesterday. Not only did he go out unceremoniously in a way that destroyed his agency, he went out praising Michael Burnham. It's almost comedic.
Dark, but fun. Star Trek ideals, with Star Wars action. Characters we love, but they die. The B&B era of playing it safe is dead, Long Live Discovery!
On point yet again, @eschaton.I mean, look at DS9. We weren't meant to agree with Eddington or Dukat, but they were at least given a chance to speechify about their own opinions in a way which didn't make them sound like incompetent morons. In Eddington's case, is critique of the Federation was realistic enough to make you wince a bit.
Cardassian Union was a third-rate power and from Federation perspective the whole Cardassian War was a minor border skirmish. Fifth of the Federation ocupiend and third of the Starfleet being destroyed seem kinda huge deal...After all, we had the Cardassian War sprung on us out of absolutely nowhere in episodes like "Ensign Ro" and "The Wounded" (which was mid S4 of TNG) with absolutely no backstory or context other than it was a prolonged conflict that caused many deaths.
If TNG could spring this concept on us in the middle of its 4th year without any prior indication, mention or discussion whatsoever, it's very easy for me to accept that a brief (less than 1 year at this point) conflict took place between the Federation and Klingon Empire that resulted in some loss (and subsequent re-taking) of UFP planets and territories.
Dear Discovery producers: leave the Star Wars bullshit to the Kelvinverse movies, thank you.
No it isn't, not by a long shot. The Mycelial network, at least in Star Trek, is the connective tissue that exists inside of and between universes. It would be akin to the central nervous system in the human body. If it is true that multiple universes touch one another, and that is a current scientific theory finding a great deal of merit, then it would make sense that futzing around with the connective tissue of those multiverses might very well end all life between them.
Honestly, I'm sure people can find things to dislike about DSC, but this actually isn't one of them. The foundation of scientific theory on this show, while bent and stretched for dramatic purposes, is a lot stronger than previous series. They've actually gone and done real science to use for how everything works.

Star Trek has always had "midochlorians."I am not doubting the existence of other universes or that these parallel universes can touch each other. But if you destroy the Mycelial Network, you might indeed sever the connection between universes, but I would imagine that life in each universe would still continue. It's the idea that the entire multiverse would simply blink out of existence if the Mycelial Network were destroyed, that's what I question! I guess I am not keen on essentially bringing midochlorians into Star Trek!
