Burnham Says Goodbye To Georgiou - Star Trek Discovery 3x10

[@shaunig6716]

“I wish I learnt all this long ago” A sentiment a lot of adults feel, I know I do

[@darknerd8332]

At this point, georgiou has the best of both worlds. She now has the compassion and love that Prime georgiou has, and has the strength, will, and toughness of her Terran side.

[@filippofittipaldi8050]

Georgiou was a great character. She was a horrible person by the Prime Universe standard but she was a successful, extremely competent Terran. Showing just a modest amount of empathy and compassion is fatal. When she thought the Guardian was going to send her back to the Terran Empire she balked. Like Darth Vader or Ebenezer Scrooge, her former life was no longer want she wanted: the story redeems her. I'm not a religious, but I do believe in redemption.

[@Alex-Bland]

Beautifully put.

[@FJF1085]

She tried to reform the Empire. It would never have been the Federation and we know from the reforms that Spock successfully implemented years later that it might have caused the fall of the Empire but maybe she could have reformed it and kept it together. We don’t know but I think she would still have failed because they weren’t ready. The Terrans needed their subjection by the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance to reform. I’d be curious to see what the status of the mirror universe was in the 32nd century.

[@KnowTrentTimoy]

Great character yes but the empress was still involved in the deaths of MILLIONS of species and dozens and dozens of civilizations. Karma transcends even dimensional time shifts. She appears to have totally changed her ways but can you IMAGINE the karmic retribution she has to cleanse herself from moving forward? No one gets a pass for that kind of deviancy and murderous resume. She better do A LOT of GOOD moving forward (even in Section 31).

This scene broke my heart so much...because I knew it was the end of Phillipa's run on Discovery... It's bittersweet because we know Michelle Yeoh is getting a Section 31 spin-off...but, it still makes me sad. I love the character development of the Mirror Georgiou. It was beautifully executed, and I am sure it will continue on to her spin-off. This scene was extremely powerful. The writing for this season has been absolutely amazing. I hope they keep this same level of writing into season 4. That Terran and Vulcun salute...I won't lie, I had tears.

[@mitchellmelkin4078]

Christopher Clay, That show is never happening. As much as the commenters here have found various things entrancing about these productions, that employ the brand's name and nothing else, they have no long-term future without international distribution.

I wouldn't hold my breath, as however they have tried to obfuscate the viewership metrics, there are simply far too few fans like you and the others here. Enjoy it while you can.

[@kbong85]

watching georgiou leave had me sobbing... i mean really... the send off was great... for real!!!

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

My favorite Star Trek (and TV show of all time) is DS9. In many ways, Discovery is DS9's legacy more than any other Star Trek because of how the characters of Discovery, like the characters of DS9, are allowed to be people, not just soldiers. There are a LOT of tears in DS9, including from Captain Benjamin Sisko himself. He even cries in the first episode. People need to understand that if you're thrown into such high-stress, high-anxiety, tragic moments to the degree that they are, you're going to either become an unstable force getting angry and pushing people away or having empathy and releasing those emotions more usefully. Both Discovery and DS9 know how to balance.

[@MLPDethDealr32]

Wtf. Discovery is an insult to what came before. What the fck are you on about. Kurtzman needs to be kept FAR away from anything Star Trek.

[@mangostarch]

People are complaining about how Michael cries to much and I have to say based on the situations her crying is quite human. Maybe she is placed in to many situations where she cries, but that is the script. Any human would cry in those situations. The belief that tears are a sign of weakness rather than a need to release stress, to allow you to function at your best is the real problem I see here. Once people recognize the true purpose of tears then they may be able to cope better.

[@mangostarch]

For the record I will really miss the Terran Emperor. She add a great deal to this show. Will definitely look out for Section 31, Phillipa always want Leland's job anyway. I hope they begin where discovery disappeared and Lealand is gone.

[@kirin7932]

Also they're forgetting that Michael grew up on the Vulcan planet and has been suppressing her human emotions which is quite understandable why she's always emotional now.

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

Eloquently put. I also think about the fact that Michael spend years repressing emotions on Vulcan when it's not natural for humans to do so. She's more than earned her right to express her emotions, and she's not the only one who does. At least she does so constructively rather than destructively. And I can say from a personal perspective, that I spend decades repressing my own emotions in order to shoulder other people's, something I never should have done. Now, I cry more times than I ever have in my life, even if it's when I'm alone, something I would have disdained as a younger person. It's realistic.

[@lumberluc]

Georgiou, you will be remembered as the Badass woman that could do wonders. Till we meet again.

[@jeangreene7565]

This was a very emotional scene. A fitting farewell to Michelle Yeoh's character. She will be missed. I have watched the Star Trek series for almost 50 years. Seeing Nichelle Nichols on the bridge of that starship was just the thing I didn't know I needed. Yet, none of the shows were well received in their initial phases. TOS was canceled after 3 years. Each new incarnation of Star Trek is met with resistance by the fandom. Picard as captain?! That old bald-headed man?! Sisko is not even on a ship AND he becomes a god?! The show is too dark! That's not Star Trek!! A woman as captain?! They're not even in the right galaxy. That's not canon! Enterprise without Kirk! Sacrilege!! The angst and resistance are almost as much Star Trek as the shows. I'd be surprised if a show got rave reviews from the fandom. Now THAT would be the kiss of death! I have enjoyed each version of Star Trek and what each brings to the universe of Trek. I also enjoy watching and reading about the Trek purists who eviscerate each show and character. That shows that interest and love in this great franchise are really still out there.

If you think about it Georgiou basically created the resistance in the mirror universe. She also took future tech with her to the past!

[@OptimusWombat]

On the subject of future tech, there's a fan theory that the reason why subsequent iterations of Star Trek, even those set in the "past", have increasingly advanced technology is due to contamination from time travelers. Which is why the NX-01 and the USS Discovery both look more advanced than the USS Enterprise in TOS (or even the USS Enterprise in the first six movies).

Here’s the thing. When Georgiou dropped her guard and her ruthless pragmatism, you knew it would be when they had to say goodbye to the character. I knew this in Season 2.

Many fans can't forgive Philippa's brutality in the Terran Universe, but this ignores the nature of the Terran Universe. With the possible exception of the Terran Vulcans, all cultures in that Universe were brutal. In DS9 we saw how the other cultures treated the Terrans after the fall of the Empire. Saru tells Philippa in one episode if she fails to do what is expected of her she will be killed. Philippa was a product of her culture. To expect her to be Ghandi is not realistic. Even Gandhi made racist remarks about black South Africans which shows saints are problematic at best.

[@ZenexZe]

It is just a theory that I came up with watching the scene. Is it possible that Terran Philipa and the Prime one is the same person? After discovery left the mirror universe, there are many scenes that show her empathy, kindness, and character development. She might got sent back to be the prime Philipa. It’s just my thought tho

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

[@ers586]

I appreciate the notion that we shouldn't judge those who have lived in a profoundly different universe by the same standards as our own. Do we regard the Terran Georgiou as a despot who used her powers to massacre countless helpless and innocent people and deprive others of basic liberties or should we consider the degree in which her character evolved as she began to live in a more ethical Prime universe? This is not a theoretical question. Historians and philosophers still debate whether slaveholding founding fathers like Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and others should be viewed harshly for their role in personally benefitting from the labor of those they enslaves or should we say, different century, different standards? It's a debate on which reasonable people may, but clearly the people behind STD have given us their take.

I think whether or not they are "bad" people isn't what we're supposed to focus on. Instead STD argues that people who have done awful things in the past have the capacity to change. It reminds me of Supergirl, where a lot of this show is reaching out to your enemies can bring peace.

[@nolanwhite1876]

Georgiou will get sent back in time, not only to give rise to the events that will become the stories of the Section 31 series, but also early enough that when those events wrap up, and she's evolved as a character, she'll be given command of the USS Shenzhou. Revealing that Mirror Universe Phillipa Georgiou and the Prime version were always one in the same, just at different points in their life, and in adjustment to the prime universe and star fleet/federation life. As well, Captain Pike, Serek, and a few others would have always known this, But "The Emperor" will learn this as an "official back story", including "life in the academy" are fabricated to cover for her true origins when dealing with anyone else not in the circle of knowledge, including when dealing with the younger iteration of of Georgiou during the events of the end of the Klingon/Federation War, up to Control. She will also feel obligated to watch over, and mentor the younger Michael Burnham of that timeline, not only out of sentiment, for both versions that she knew, but also for the sake of maintaining the future timeline, even if it means her end, in the events that are Discovery's pilot episode. Maybe she knows that she's slowing dying anyways from her crossover condition, which could explain why she doesn't display the physical abilities as "The Captain" that she once had as "The Emperor", and saw this as a good, and more meaningful way to go than just waiting it out, as trying to change anything would only make things worse. Even more than if Klingons ate her corpse after, as it would affect the timeline which could have negative effects on her condition . *Shrugs* It could also explain why she saves Saru from his world when he called out to the stars. Not only doing it to preserve the timeline, but because she has seen his potential from a time that hasn't happened yet for any body else, that she has visited. A sharp contrast to her long abandoned belief about Kelpians.

We could just as easily find out that we never knew the Prime Universe Georgiou and they did exist for a time, but died long before they could enter Star Fleet Academy. Meaning that there was a Prime Universe counterpart, but the version that we knew through out was still all from the Mirror Universe just taking on the role of someone from the Prime Universe after dealing with the Guardian of Tomorrow and Section 31.

Nolan White, Very well thought out exegesis there, save one salient fact. There's not going to be a Section 31 series. There's simply no demand for it (nor has there ever been) based on the pitiful ratings that the network has tried to conceal for as long as possible, for every show in the Prime Universe. Also, importantly, there's no money for such a creation without a ready provider of international distribution rights. Frankly, you'll be lucky to see much, if any, of SNW, let alone this fantasy. By all means, though, I've no desire to dissuade anyone from enjoying what's left, for as long as CBS/Viacom can stave off crying uncle.

I guess the guardian of time is sending Philipa back to a time before first contact with the vulcans

[@DanielBrongers]

I am kinda confused: why isn't the crew of the Discovery trying to find a way to go back to the past?

[@mitchellmelkin4078]

Alternately, because the program's future is on very thin ice.

[@danielshottopics8187]

We Now Enter Day 16 of Section 31 Filming.

[@Sdeburca2012]

If the creates of ST: Discovery were smart they would start a spin off following This Phillipa Greorgo in the Terren Universe!!!!

So the Guardian was just messing with Kirk and Spock when it said it couldn't stop at one point in time?

The guardian has gotten a lot wiser in 900 years.

@@h.seanhsu8965 That's a pretty major leap in its evolution if it couldn't do that in the previous billion years.

@@h.seanhsu8965 you're assuming that's the only time war that's ever occurred though.

@@OptimusWombat adding to that, the temporal war of 30th century probably spanned several millennia form the Guardians perspective. That ought to be enough to want to do things differently.

Spoil it for me is she going back to pike’s time? Is that how she appears in the section 31 movie?

[@andytay5507]

[@laggedoff]

because the guardian of forever is hiding.
