They did. It was fantasy terminology developed by Martin similar to the Maesters and Septons and such. It was also supposed to be pronounced slightly different than Sir, but the show kind of muddied that detail.

That's only because Trek hasn't had a chance to do a story about a mad Federation President who stole his election
They do have those in the Federation you know, elections I mean.
Federation One (Hidden Frontier’s spin-off) did that around a decade ago.That's only because Trek hasn't had a chance to do a story about a mad Federation President who stole his election
Its in the novelverseThat's only because Trek hasn't had a chance to do a story about a mad Federation President who stole his election
Nah, the President is appointed by the Junta...er, I mean Starfleet Command.That's only because Trek hasn't had a chance to do a story about a mad Federation President who stole his election
Thank God for that. After this whole debacle is over, I don't want to be reminded of it ever again. Not in Star Trek, not in anywhere else. I don't know about anywhere else, but at least I won't have to worry about it in Star Trek.That's only because Trek hasn't had a chance to do a story about a mad Federation President who stole his election

Great finale to the 2 parter. Really going to miss Phillipa’s acid tongue on DSC. But her departure was pulled off in grand style.
To those who thought Georgiou’s tribute scene was too much, I still think Trek writers are hyper sensitive to how Ent handled a similar situation and the fan backlash. Any death of a significant character is not going to be ignored.
Killy was great as well. Every word out of her mouth came out with a condescending smirk. So evil.
I loved evil Burnham. Really a great job by Sonequa. Looked like she was having a ball. In the hallway scene in part 1, when Georgiou wouldn’t kill her, Burnham mocking Phillipa and it devolving into laughter might be one of my fav Burnham scenes to date.
I haven’t seen that TOS episode in eons, but I do remember the Guardian character — some. Anyway, nice shoutout to the supernatural element that ran through TOS while keeping it at least a bit grounded.
Looking forward to Michelle Yeoh in the Section 31 show. Maybe Lorca will show up there.

Man, I wanted to like this two-parter.
Just didn't happen. Michelle Yeoh gave a fine performance, and so did the usual greats (Jones, Rapp, Oladejo and Coutts). But I just could not care at all for the story. It would have been better without the shilling funeral at the end. Georgiou really didn't have enough meaningful interaction with the crew to warrant that kind of devotion.
Killy didn't sell it for me. And man, what was going on with that performance by SMG? She's one of the best actors in the business. Was that how they directed her, or her own interpretation of the character?

This is the ending to Discovery I never knew I wanted. It's perfect.
I've never read that story the only novels I have read were Q-Squared, The Devil's Heart (my favourite), and the novelization of All Good Things
I was *just* bragging to a friend of mine that this season Discovery didn't waste several episodes in the Mirror Universe. That was one of my arguments for why the writing had matured and improved. Apparently, I spoke too soon. I missed out when S1 first came out, so I missed out on the uneven writing and production chaos. I assumed using the MU to throw another bone to the longtime fans seemed like a good idea at the time.
Now I have no idea what convinced them to spend 2 hours there was a good idea.
I hate the idea that Michelle's leaving the show. She needed a great send off, but I don't think this was the smart way to do it. It was a 2 hour detour from a really well written season. I gritted my teeth when I realized I would have to put up with a second hour of the MU.
Having said that, Reno is back! Guess Tig got off of the road for a few days. Plus, Killy's eye makeup was awesome, so there's 2 great things about the episode.

I mean, really there were two things this two-parter needed to do to get to the writer's foreordained conclusion:
Hell, if they did the leg-work of making Georgiou into a compelling, fully-rounded character before her exit from the series, the episode could have ended with her first passage through the doorway. She doesn't need anything more than that because they could deal with the fallout in the first episode of Section 31.
- Rehabilitate Georgiou into someone who could be the protagonist of a Trek show.
- Get Georgiou out of the series.

Given the majority of fan reaction I'm reading I would say this two parter was absolutely necessary.
Georgiou's farewell scene on the planet was good enough for me. I didn't need the other stuff on the ship: "Georgiou did this and Georgiou did that...and she always made me smile. She was like mother/sister/best friend to me etc.".
Discovery is always big emotional drama...in every episode. I find that exhausting because the overall story of season 3 is quite interesting.

Or just have Tyler be a human with PTSD and cut out the space magic reason for his problems altogether
But why would you want to cut out the space magic? Space magic is pretty much the essence of these shows.
Which is horrible writing, if you ask me. Formulaic.
Twists are fine and great when done right, but just throwing one in for the sake of "we need a twist" is terrible.
Im in the camp that hated the Lorca twist. Of course, I also believe DISCO keeps floundering and trying to reinvent itself each season. Every season to me feels like a reboot plus they seem to have to throw in an unrelated 90 degree turn middle of the season just to shake things up.
I recommend
The series A Time to.... has a dodgy UFP politician
Articles of the Federation is the Trek version of The West Wing
Destiny series novels is a good set up for
The Fall series
