#ash is not voq

[evviejo]

STAR TREK: DISCOVERY // S1E11 The Wolf Inside I can't rest here. Not really. My eyes open, but it's like waking from the worst nightmare I could imagine. Even the light is different. The cosmos has lost its brilliance, and everywhere I turn, there's fear.

the thing that Gets me about michael and ash’s relationship is that it is built on complete trust and almost perfect honesty. like for two people so deeply traumatised and hurt and with voq literally trying to kill michael and the impact that has on her, their relationship shouldn’t work. but it does because they have unshakeable faith in each other and (generally) don’t hide how they feel or what they’re struggling with and because they know exactly how much the other has been hurt and they always try to respond with empathy and patience. they are each others tether!!!!!!

best thing about discovery s2 is shazad latif and the silly little palm tree hair they gave voq/ash

he looks great

I don’t know how to properly explain this, but the most Roddenberry thing ever is Tilly and Detmer sitting with Tyler as if he was a different person than Voq and the consciousness that controlled the hands that murdered Culber belonged to someone else,

[stra-tek]

Lorca's tribble didn't out Ash because they hadn't decided he was a klingon yet.

They knew that from the beginning...

So much so that Voq was credited as "Javid Iqbal" (his father's name) to disguise the fact he wasn't Shazad Latif. But die-hard Trekkies were onto it immediately😆

It may well be a case that they didn't quite know where they were going with the reveal as Discovery season one had a LOT of change in the writer's room and was essentially finished by different people who started it. I suspect the Tribble being forgotten was part of that, since the set-up is so obvious. Or maybe it was a red herring all along.

I can't wait for non-disclosure agreements to run out and people to tell the behind-the-scenes story in full, since I suspect it'll be up there with TNG's Chaos on the Bridge. The bits I've heard across all of Discovery's seasons have been wild.

A Chancellor's Loss

Can't believe Ash and Michael's first meeting was him trying to crush her skull and her trying to jab his eye out

they want me to care about Michael/Tyler so bad and I just. dont. like im sorry these actors are both fantastic but there is 0 romantic chemistry between them. Tyler as a character just really doesnt do anything, which is unfortunate, because Shazad Latif is INCREDIBLE. I have absolutely no issues with the acting on his part its entirely the writing. Tyler feels like a character they really didnt know what to do with so they just slapped everything they could at him in hopes something would stick but its all too much
