Star Trek: Discovery - spoilery thoughts?

[Paul Walker]

I know, it can be a historical thing with adding a hundred different titles if you're the emperor, but it felt a bit forced to add Mirror Georgiou with so many extra name add-ons, as cool as they sound

In the United Kingdom, the Queen is properly introduced as follows:

"Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of her other realms and territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith."

So I think they are definitely doing it for the sake of lore and history.

I didn't say the titles. Imperial Majesty, Mother of the Fatherland, Overlord of Vulcan, Dominus of Kronos, Regina Andor. I get those. I've watched enough game of thrones where the extra titles are part of royalty and knowing actual history.

Of course, a quick read into the wiki tells more and it actually makes sense somewhat.

Augustus from Romans which have been used by previous Emperors for majestic, etc

Iaponius is Latin for Japanese surprisingly. Which according to the writer of this episode, claims the mirror Philippa might be descendant of Sato from ST:ENT's mirror canon.

Centaurius for, I assuming Alpha Centuri, the first Terran colony outside of Sol system in the mirror according to the writer.

Ah, I apologise, I had mistaken your meaning. I still didn't mind the name add-ons, and with your added research it makes it a little cooler. I was wondering if they were going to tie her in to Empress Sato's reign. And if she's related, it means that Sato was probably far more cunning in the intervening years than she was depicted in Enterprise.

Something I figured should be shared, hopefully before it gets taken down.

Fuck the fuck off, S31.

Yeah, that's a very disappointing direction for season 2 if it turns out to be true. This show was already too obsessed with showcasing the Bad Guys in the first season. We don't need more of that.

This series is basically them thinking dark and gritty is what the franchise needed when DS9 did enough of that

If it sells it gets made.

My thoughts just on the new NCC-1701: love it, love it, love it! It sticks much closer to the classic dimensions compared to the Abrams one, while still looking fresh and modern.

It was a bit premature to show us the Enterprise of this show and no point really. That ship has nothing to do with The Discovery
