    The OTP is Linus and Georgiou.

    It'd be nice to see the characters become more fully rounded with interpersonal relationships developing beyond how they relate to the main plot of the season. That includes my man Saru.

    Relationships doesn't mean romance.

    Saru doesn't strike me as the casual type.

    TBH I'd settle for a "crush" or just a passing comment he found someone attractive.

    Even Tilly got to be a little thirsty in the first season. They've since de-sexualized her though.

    Well, maybe there will be a spin off show called "All my starships" were there are ongoing relationships for every character ;)

    He's very goal oriented too. He's wanted that captain's chair for a long time, and he's worked and trained hard for it. Maybe he's blocked his early retirement years to be a total lothario.

    It wouldn't surprise me if kelpiens had a breeding season. Saru may not have an actual sex drive until he detects a kelpien female in heat

    Then he's like imma smash.

    The problem with that is that he is already supposed to be dead.

    Saru reached the end of the Kelpien life cycle, and kept going.

    If there's some urge to breed comin' up for this boy, he is completely unaware that it is coming.

    Nope. He keeps living his natural life like the other liberated Kelpiens instead of being killed prematurely.

    Really?

    For the last several centuries kelpiens were murdered at a fraction through their life cycle and told that this was it.

    Which was a a lie.

    A lie they believed completely.

    The approved facts of their existence that they had no reason to question, was that vahar'ai is the end of their life cycle.

    Dig a fucken hole.

    So now that Saru is living past that point in his life cycle, brave hew world, he might discover his actual biological clock.

    Consider the fear boner.

    How do you have sex to the point of baby, with a vagina you are sure is going to gobble your nob off?

    This seems like an era in one's development where they instinctually want to stay clear of the other sex?

    But they were husbanded to do otherwise by their masters.

    Oh?

    What if the fear of canabalism thing is real? Like Black widows? The over whelming fear keeps their legs crossed... If changes to a Kelpien Woman is a psycho sexual curiosity to hear the neck of their lover snap, the sex drive the boys have to put up with that would have to be strong.

    The only way a boy can get his end away, other than being gay, is to persue "children", which is a maybe definition of Kelpiens before vahar'ai.

    Developmentally Saru is still a teen, and should not have been let into Star Fleet when he was a decade earlier.

    Oh.

    The Ba'ul did something sneaky if they made a dead man walking Lover reusable. That would gave multiplied the standing population, which is probably necessary if they were all being killed the moment puberty started.

    Georgiou will never actually love Linus, and Linus is going to figure that out eventually. Might be heartbreaking for him at first, but then him and Saru will develop their True Love.

    ignoring the messy rest of that post, you confirmed what I wrote.
    we need a rule that people shouldn't post single word paragraphs, or short sentence paragraphs, with so many damn annoying empty lines, just to make one single point. this is the second time in just a few days that this happens, and I do think it annoys people without any benefit.

    Isn't that the purpose of discussion boards is to annoy people without benefit?

    No.

    You unnecessaryily confirmed what I wrote in a way that said I was wrong.

    You corrected me when I didn't need correcting.

    Not a fan of that.

    So I elaborated on what I orginally said to explain that you didn't have to tell me shit I know that was clearly depicted on the screen because you can't understand me.

    I wasn't arguing with you.

    You are right, but I was making it clear that I was not wrong.

    Just did it again.

    It's really simple:
    "The problem with that is that he is already supposed to be dead." - Nope, that was the Ba'ul lie.
    "Saru reached the end of the Kelpien life cycle, and kept going." - Nope, the Kelpien life cycle naturally goes beyond Vahar'ai, which was never the end of their life cyle.

    I got the feeling the Kelpians were killed just as they basically were entering their post-adolescent phase. So they were probably all having babies too soon, and of course they weren't able to pass on what little knowledge that they had. Considering how quickly they ramped up, its pretty clear the Ba'ul were right to be worried about them.
