Giving the genocidal Emperor of the Terran Empire a redemption arc is like if someone wrote a redemption arc for Donald Trump.

Controversial Opinion: Though Michelle Yeoh is amazing, Georgiou should have remained evil in Discovery S1 & not made into an antihero. #StarTrek #Section31

"She was raised in a brutal society" is also an excuse for a lot of young men who reached adulthood in 1930s Germany.

“Sure, she ate people but what a badass!” Nope.

She literally eats a person on camera. She picks out a person, has them cooked, then serves them as a meal... on camera!

Yes! Exactly this! She killed her family and billions more, she’s okay really.

My response: Sure, Jan.

One of the franchise’s biggest fuckups. She should’ve been Disco’s Gul Dukat.

Yeah. Someone who is on your side sometimes but ultimately makes the wrong choices because it's who they are.

And sadly, Disco went out of its way multiple times to say evil can’t possibly be inherent to folks from the Mirror Universe… when that was the whole point in the first place.

But…she’s quippy and snarky!

And her wardrobe is fantastic!

I love Michelle Yeoh. I'd rather have had a Captain Georgiou story.

*I have a feeling that the section 31 star trek is gonna be a trek for kissinger apologists*

"Through the blizzard of edicts, see Trump for what he is: an autocrat reaching for limitless power" ...

The thing I've learned from observing the Section 31 movie/series/thing development cycle is that being exactly correct from the start is never, ever fun, even in entertainment.
