experience? me? with entrepreneurial activities? it’s more likely than you think

extra-curriculars? you want what from me mate? im two months into the master. should have done more of the board positions of what? or something?

and GOD that SMILE ellie’s smile after the kiss is just so fucking WONDERFUL she’s so HAPPY

1. Lorca read as very ‘off’ to me at the start of the show, pretty unscrupulous, though it was always rather believable that he was just a ptsd ‘greater good’ man. The show really playing of off that gruff ‘protocols are for suckers’ dude trope but then validating the suspicion I felt at the start JUST when I’d started to trust his intentions - that was pretty amazing. A great way to play on audience expectations.

2. It conveys the notion that you should always be suspicious of people who are too willing to shirk the rules that are supposed to keep intact the integrity of organisations. You can’t play fast and loose with protocols which safeguard the ideals Starfleet stands for.

3. It says something about how to act in war. Similar to above, shirking the duty to act morally can only be done if it is TRULY a last resort. Even in war. Especially in war. That line, it’s precarious. If you think somebody treads way too closely and/or across, it MIGHT JUST mean you’re actually dealing with a person who has no moral intentions at all.

4. He’s a mirror of prime!Philippa. She adheres to protocol because she ascribes to Federation ideals. He ignores protocol because he does not ascribe to Federation ideals (but explicitly fascist ones). Michael adheres to protocol because she ascribes to Federation ideals, but also ignores protocol when forced to protect her own (self-defense) despite AND because of Federation ideals. nuance.

So modern Brigitte’s story really ends with total transformation, eating corpses and Ghost thinking she can control her. (the implication is that she could, but I think it’s likely she can’t and will be murdered)

maybe this time around Ginger and Brigitte get a better ending?

What the fuck though lol, they were just like. Hm well whatever let’s do another movie with this concept and the same actors.

but the Naomi/Holden.....it’s the ominous heterosexuality

im just like. nope NOPE why? WHY

why can’t these two chars just have some damn good relationship without it devolving into a romantic/sexual one? It is SHITTY

i just don’t feel it. It’s because i could stand whito male holden who’s previous girlfriend was so masterfully fridged i didn’t even realise BEFORE bc he’s a genuinely sympathetic morally ok guy. like, he’s alright (now. at the start he was much cooler)

Naomi, a genius. I feel SCARED for her because i feel like Holden’s a tether that’s gonna drag her down. and the demands of a romantic relationship blaH this is always a thing i associate

do i think she should be forever alone? I don’t even KNOW the what or how of her emotional vulnerability/intimacy needs very much what she’d like but I’d like her to CONTINUE TO BE STRONG. as shit is gonna go down horribly as it has done

do i think Holden is worth Naomi? NO! why is this even a thing i consider? I don’t KNOW. but as this show is gonna go for it they’d BETTER prove me wrong and show Holden to be a cool ok. a cool guy who likes softens all up and communicates some serious ‘wowzers i want to make you feel good’

I just don’t see how Naomi could be attracted to Holden? or why Holden could be attracted to Naomi? Like?? I DON’T SEE IT???
