Spoilers Well...we all know whom the Emperor will be.

Phillipa Georgiou...That's good though, it makes sense concerning the story. Also, that's not our prime universe Defiant. It's a great show...I've been watching since the beginning back with Shatner/Kirk and think Discovery has been a lot of fun.

 

Well... if Hoshi Sato became empress in Enterprise maybe Georgiou is her granddaughter, since they are both Asian. Just saying...

 

It wouldn't surprise me if Georgiou winds up being Emperor, but I would not go so far as to say that we know that she will be.

A) It's possible we never find out who is Emperor.
B) It might be a homage to some past canon, like Sato.
C) It might be a mirror version of a different DSC character -- evil Culber, Lorca, etc.

 

It sounds like the emperor took to Mirror Michael being killed by Mirror Lorca personally

That sounds offensive

Yes it is

 

Pretty sure it's likely going to be Georgiou. Mirror Lorca was said to have tried a coup and it failed. With something like that you're likely going to send your most trusted and best person to track down that type of traitor if you aren't going to do it yourself. Who would trust Mirror Michael to be sent on a mission like that? It was said or alluded to that she knows the Emperor as well.

 

It most likely is her but I am totally open to it not being her aswell. It could be someone related to Archer assuming he didn't die at the end of In a Mirror Darkly.

Also that is our Defiant the art direction has just gone with a whole re imagining route.

 

I hope they go weird with it. Someone we don't expect. Maybe even an ancestor of someone from later Treks.

 

Wouldn't be the first time the Constitution class had a refit...

 

Of course, but it has nothing to do with that...

 

In my head canon it does...

 

My head canon says Discovery is not from "our prime" timeline regardless whats been quoted. This is why the quantum signatures match...its a way to give the fans what they want and love but not screw with the originals at the same time...

 

It's got to be Stamets. He keeps talking about a palace. Where else would the emperor live?

 

All we saw was a wireframe image from a Klingon database, and the Defiant had been there for a hundred years by that point.

 

I'm going to go with a longshot here and say Harry Mudd.

 

It’s got to be Emperor Tiberius played by William Shatner.

 

It's going to be Picard or Quark. I know it doesn't make sense since they shouldn't be born yet. But mirror universe doesn't have to make sense.

 

Nope. Cornwall.

The woman he tried to kill in the mirror universe is the woman he was in a relationship with in ours.

She would be the red queen in the palace.

We have Alice, the mad hatter, the jaberwok and the caterpillar that sat on a mushroom. In Alice's world the caterpillar sent Alice down the rabbit hole after the white rabbit (white rabbit = speed)
Take a look at a photo of a waterbear. It looks like a very short caterpillar. Ripper sat on a mushroom network and sent the Discovery down the rabbit hole in a quest for speed.

 

But he'd be a good guy if it was him. The characters are the opposite to their Prime Universe counterpart.

 

Probably going to be her, yes. Although I do like the prospect of it being an alien (which would explain the need to hide their appearance given how xenophobic the T.E. is).
