Spoilers Who is the antagonist now?
- Thread starter eschaton
- Start date
He goes by Garth and wears a little crown.
BTW, would any of the below metals be the Legion of Honor?
Get Andy Robinson to return to the role and you've got yourself a deal.

Possibly not. Remember, Garth doesn't appear to be one of the five top awarded Captains (that's April, Archer, Decker, Georgiou, and Pike), so, unlike Georgiou, he may have never achieved the Legion of Honor. We do know that McCoy (image) and Data (image) both received the award.
If this is descended from the French Legion of Honour (see here), then the medal should be red, which doesn't match anything Garth is wearing above, but might be the red ribbon McCoy carries.
User name checks out.
Also, this new Star Trek series doesn't need an antagonist. All good Star Trek didn't require a villain, so maybe they'll go out an explore and even discover something.
Or something like that...
They'll discover the person/people/thing they thought was an antagonist was no different than them.
Now, that's Star Trek ™
Star Trek doesn't!!!!!!
You're right. That's a relief
Most Trek episodes have an antagonist, even if it's not clearly a person. For example, I just rewatched DS9's It's Only A Paper Moon, where the antagonist was Nog's post-traumatic stress from losing his leg.
A few great episodes of Trek don't have a clear antagonist however. The Inner Light is a shining example. Though there was tension earlier in the episode between Picard's life as Kamin and the life he remembered, and later tension as he (fruitlessly) tries to save his community, the point of the episode is just to see Picard's alternate life unfold beautifully.
Me.
A difficult situation is not the same thing as an antagonist.
Wild guess: Remember how Mudd stated that Lorca was not on the Buran when she blew up with all the crew on board? What if the explosion happened simultaniously in both universes. But Mirror Lorca was pulled into the Prime Universe and Prime Lorca actually blew up along his crew on Buran. Now Mirror Lorca is back in the Mirror Universe and brought Disco along with him. Now he can go after who-ever blew "his" Buran up in the Mirror-Verse. That guy will be the antagonist.
I think so, too. He seems kind of bored with the war, but at the same time is always adamant that they "must win." Maybe he knows that what happens in one universe, invariably happens in another, but he's still biding his time until he can go home, with his prize(Discovery, and apparently Burnham). I think maybe he was just going to head to Starbase 46.
Until....
When Stamets says to him "No, I mean this is my last, last jump. I'm turning in my two weeks notice" Lorca has a brief look of consternation, and maybe anger. Stamets doesn't notice. Lorca now knows he needs to act quickly, on this single jump.
So he puts in the coordinates to cross into an other, unknown dimension. Maybe he knows exactly where they are, or maybe he guessed, hoping it would be his reality.
Just had a weird thought. We keep talking about Lorca maybe being a MU version of himself. I don't know what the showrunners have in mind, but consider:
But there is another well known alternate reality out there and Lorca could have come from it. A reality where Starfleet by this point is way more advanced and Section 31 is known to have at least one ship.

I feel from now on it'll be building up to Lorca as the main antagonist.
Also I REALLY doubt Lorca is from a mirror universe. It'd be a hell of a coincidence for him to somehow end up on the only ship in the Federation with the technology to jump between universes, after blowing up his previous command.
He's just Garth level crazy.
