Michael Burnham.

She was literally given control of the most powerful technology we’ve ever seen in Star Trek, she threw it into a black hole believing that no one should ever have that kind of power.

Hard mode: name a FEMALE non-LOTR character that could resist the One Ring.

I saw someone say Granny Weatherwax, but I have not read so I can’t be sure.

The only other woman I saw was Princess Leia and I’m sorry but that woman would be a dark emperor in a heartbeat & the galaxy would be well-run.

And felt whoever could retrieve the tech from the black hole would be able to wield it properly. Or something like that. So much growth into what a person could be capable of as a leader in that character. Love this.

She said: “…who developed this power, must have the ability to recreate it should they still exist and should they wish to do so.”

She’s showed so much growth over the course of five seasons, watching her grow, evolve and heal was my favourite part of the show.

Yes! That left a mark even if I don’t recall the exact line. The mix of compassion, logic, wisdom, and forethought to put out of reach, effectively destroying it for the known powers, was amazing.

Meanwhile, Georgiou;

*Mirror Georgiou 😂

scotsdragon.bsky.social•42 days ago

That's the Georgiou we've got and have spent the most time with.

scotsdragon.bsky.social•42 days ago

But also it'd actually be funny to imagine the same applying to the Prime Georgiou as well.

one, you’re right

two, fuck i miss that character

atiredgay.bsky.social•42 days ago

I’m so happy that Sonequa is open to coming back, I wouldn’t mind a couple Discovery movies.

paulsutherlin.bsky.social•42 days ago

i hope she shows up in SFA

atiredgay.bsky.social•42 days ago

I’d love that, especially with Tilly and Reno being on the show!

unioniseorion.bsky.social•42 days ago

Agreed…but also, whoever said Granny Weatherwax to the OP was spot on.

unioniseorion.bsky.social•42 days ago

God, I love how I can read comments about Burnham on this site without having to wade through anti-woke mysogynoir that derails every discussion

Someone is going to say that's because she's a Mary Sue, as if there isn't a whole episode about her confronting her flaws (all of which have been deliberately written into her character since the very first episode).

moonshoterin.bsky.social•42 days ago

They only call her a mary sue because they're too scared to use the slurs they want to say.

moonshoterin.bsky.social•42 days ago

Folks want a mary sue character. Look up any fan trek film with axanar scammer alec peters in it and watch him check off every mary sue feature like a failed health inspection

It's honestly wild to me that women in fandom went, "Hey, this is a common trope that must be avoided at all costs and shamed if spotted in the wild," and the men went, "Hey, this is a trope that we should embrace but also shame women for doing."

moonshoterin.bsky.social•42 days ago

Sadly too many men let themselves slide into toxicity amd then want to feel special for mediocrity.

lizbarr.bsky.social•42 days ago

I agree, but I also think women should give themselves permission to write dumb wish-fulfillment fan fiction.

atiredgay.bsky.social•42 days ago

She went through seasons of growth and we literally got to see her confront her old S1 self to see the difference!

Also she even went to prison!! 😂
