Maya?? Maya!!
also Athenas lmao
finally i am free to work on this
boy i sure hope we don’t get more info soon *squints at Amara’s character trailer just around the corner*
tl;dr: athenas. wow. uhhh temple areas with the weird vault-shaped statue things might be a teleportation hub or something like a Stargate cuz, uh… they’re probably not Vaults. i mean. given what we know maybe they are Vaults but not like vaults with important stuff inside, just teleportation vaults. you know what im trying to say? i mean it’s not like the eridians had any spaceships we’ve seen. but they had to get around somehow. 
also it’s possible the big temple area we see is on Athenas, is in that giant fucking pyramid in the background that i completely and totally did not notice for the longest time. 
i also discuss Maya and her thoughtlock skill (if she gets her powers taken away from her) and if she’s gonna die or not. because she’s got the Cloud Kill legendary (’oh noo she ded’), an apprentice (let’s be real, the cliches aren’t looking great), and she seems to working beside rampagers in that giant temple area (also another reason i think it’s on athenas) and tbh i didn’t see her tattoos in either of those shots (but that could be cuz she’s so smoll). so that’s cool. 
oh also the order of the impending storm was probably pretty respectable back in the day, since they can track sirens (maya’s assassin in son of crawmerax), and maybe that’s how maya figured out ava was gonna be a siren even tho she hasn’t manifested her powers yet. and Maya’s probably unearthing all this buried Siren/Vault knowledge and bringing the Academic District back into power while also protecting the Order from Maliwan. who’s still v sus.
wow we have a lot to go over
so to start, im taking a wild guess and saying the temple is on Athenas. why? because we really haven’t gotten a lot of looks at either of those areas too much (compared to promethea and eden-6) and the architecture lines up to me. 
also i, an idiot, was all like ‘mannnn Athenas is super mountainy, that’s wild. love it’ and neglected to realize there’s literally a giant fucking pyramid in the background of a lot of shots
Tumblr media
on the right
Tumblr media
behind the tower
Tumblr media
to the right of ava
Tumblr media
on the left
so i feel really dumb right now for not noticing this sooner and writing it off as a mountain. It's literally the fuckin Vault symbol like. ~triangles~. i played skyrim i should know what mountains look like when they’re not 1 polygon
either way, if that’s not at least part of the temple, it’s definitely important. somehow.
but let’s talk about the temple. the parts we know.
let’s try to look out the windows of this wild place
Tumblr media
see cause this looks like inside a mountain
so my first instinct was eden-6 because we see a volcano on there
Tumblr media
i mean im under the assumption this is eden-6???
Tumblr media
bc all the plants match up
… maybe there’s more than one temple?
oh god i don’t wanna separate these by temple that’s going to be IMPOSSIBLE
but yeah i guess it’s possible there’s one on Eden-6 and one on Athenas… dear god…
but yeah my first instinct for that was ‘inside a volcano’
Tumblr media
possible mountain on the left there
Tumblr media
very rocky all around. im assuming this is underground or smth?
Tumblr media
it feels like we’re underground
so maybe it’s a thing where it just keeps going further down. iunno.
it’s hard to place exactly where this is going to be because of the whole ‘underground’ thing
the part that’s throwing me off the most is this
Tumblr media
because this looks like Pandora bc of Elpis and the rocks
and it looks like we’re walking outside a temple with the same friggen tiles on the floor, which means it is possible that this is The Temple, but you think we’d know about a giant-ass temple just on pandora. especially with the big dig site
but then we see a super similar dig site (supposedly on promethea). so what the HELL
Tumblr media
im almost inclined to believe this is some sort of Eridian teleportation system. i know, i know, we have Sanctuary-III so it’s pointless. but… will we always have Sanc-III throughout the story? yada yada orange/gray -> blue/yellow/red markings. you get the dealio by now.
Tumblr media
to
Tumblr media
when taken by the cult or smth.
idk it’s possible we won’t have sanc-III for the entire game (just like normal sanctuary in bl2, in that we’ll get it back eventually (or ill kill someone for taking my room decorations)) and then we’ll have to use this wicked eridian tech to move between planets with these gateways. sort of like a stargate…
Tumblr media
this thing is a stargate. I’ll call back to this in a hot second.
what kinda shit am i tripping on? i don’t really know. but given how it seems like these temples could be on ANY of the planets we see, im trying to figure out wtf the connection could be.
and give me this: we have never actually seen an eridian spacecraft, but we know they’ve traveled across the galaxy, putting vaults on different places. how in the fuck could they have done that if, you know, they didn’t have spaceships to travel through… space? 
well we know they have the power of teleportation down pat. i mean down so hard they were able to create a ‘teleportation gland’ that allowed a giant vault monster to teleport at will. (now im wondering if lilith has one… hm.) 
Tumblr media
this blue thing (which… is the same color as siren stuff. okay. im sorry. i won’t get off topic this time. but it’s stewing in my gray matter)
and given that we know all the (okay, we only know for certain some) vaults open up into this other dimension (space place), would it be so hard to believe that they’re created links between planets using this dimension? i just… something isn’t right here and this seems like the most logical solution. 
Tumblr media
take a look at Eleseer. look at all those holograms of labeled planets. of galaxies and stars in the distance. it’s possible eleseer is like the Hub for this teleportation system (explaining why it’s always open) and explaining why it’s got all those weird planet holograms sitting around. could also explain why Moon = Key.
These aren’t Vaults, they wouldn’t show up on the Vault Map- explaining why we never saw this one on Pandora- these are like… gateways or something, iunno. name pending until sept. 13th i guess.
so why tf am i going off about this on a post about maya and athenas?
Tumblr media
because i think athenas has a gateway in it too
yeah you should recognize that thing in the background!
Tumblr media
that’s this place!!! from the behind closed doors demo!!
and it still
doesn’t look like a vault to me
Tumblr media
it’s intact (also it looks like stairs…). all the Vaults we’ve seen are 100% not intact. they’re all chunky and in pieces (we’re gonna ignore eleseer and uhhhh all that business right now, but even thinking about how the sentinel tried to emulate a vault by spawning it in chunks and THEN assembling it)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
chunky
im just saying there has to be a reason these vault-like shapes are intact. they’re either just statues/monuments or they have a purpose.
so why tf am i convinced they have a purpose?
bc we’ve seen one light up
Tumblr media
taken straight from the void itself (seriously it’s like a gradient back there. which is weird.)
so there’s gotta be a reason it does this right? and if it’s not a Vault, because it’s on Pandora and the Crimson Raiders would have seen it on the Vault Map, then what the fuck is it?
welllllllll i just don’t know. but my best guess right now is some sort of teleportation system to travel between planets. if there are ‘temples�� on every planet then it would make sense that there is some way for eridians to travel btwn them. 
personally i think there’s one on eden-6 (maybe in that volcano area??) and one on Athenas (cause we really haven’t seen a lot of athenas yet and… i dunno i just have a feeling). and there’s apparently one on Pandora (given we see it with elpis in the background) and possibly one on Promethea. i don’t know what that instagram video was trying to imply. i don’t wanna think too hard about it right now my brain hurts enough already as it is.
but uhhh i was gonna talk more about athenas than this
i promise this is gonna lead into maya
Tumblr media
the academic district, with a Vault symbol on the door, to boot.
so this place is really interesting to me for a lot of reasons.
1. that vault symbol on the door
Tumblr media
2. they’re flying flags with the vault symbol on it
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3. giant pyramid in the back
Tumblr media
it’s staggeringly huge
4. they have siren tattoos on the building in the back there. specifically, amara’s tattoos
Tumblr media Tumblr media
yeah. maybe this is Partali? a smaller area on Athenas, like Meridian is a city on Promethea, and this is Amara’s way of tagging her presence/an area under her protection as the Tiger
more shots of Athenas from the amd horizons e3 stream
Tumblr media Tumblr media
it’s a very pretty planet
so if anything, this is the place we’re going to go to learn about Sirens.
and i don’t know how much the Order of the Impending Storm actually KNOWS about Sirens, because all we know about them from maya’s backstory is that they were assholes and using maya to keep the people scared and giving them money
also that they knew how to track sirens
that’s probably important…
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Maya, you’ll like this next dude. He’s a Siren tracker named Mordo Sophis, Father of Brother Stephen Sophis, that dude you ganked back on Athenas. And boy, oh boy, is he just itching for vengeance.”
who isn’t, mr. mordo, sir? get in line
anyway apparently the Order knows how to track Sirens. Which could explain how Maya has a Siren apprentice when Ava uhhh apparently hasn’t manifested her powers (or tattoos) yet. might also explain how they got their hands on Maya when she was a baby. cuz yeah… i got the feeling they stole her and killed her parents… just a feeling.
y’know if tannis didn’t kill that siren tracker dude maybe she could’ve learned something from him first. that could’ve been interesting.
anyway, idk. maybe at one point the Order was respectable and, like, didn’t force people into giving them money by using sirens as a scare tactic. 
it looks like they have/had an academic district (which im sure maya is helping cultivate) focused on Sirens/Vaults.
Tumblr media
and there’s a lot of importance on books this game
seriously
Tumblr media
apparently
Tumblr media
there’s
Tumblr media
a
Tumblr media
lot.
but let’s get back to this in a minute, because i do wanna talk about the name of the Order.
it’s full name is the Order of the Impending Storm.
I know while writing bl2 they probably didn’t know that they were gonna be building towards a war in tps, but it’s still interesting that they decided to bring them back into play now. because they 100% could have just left them as a background monastery that Maya came from and have maya refuse to return/start her own organization. but they made her specifically return there.
so does their name have significance now? i’d be willing to bet a yes. I mean, war is coming. Impending Storm sounds like it’d be a pretty fitting name for an organization that knew this. Especially because according to Maya’s cosplay guide, they worshipped her like a God (seriously lol are all Sirens worshipped as minor deities? most people know Sirens are Sirens right? like just people with magic powers..? hmmm)
And if Maya returned to learn more about Sirens, then isn’t it implied that the Order did, in fact, know more about Sirens than Maya did? hell, maybe even Tannis…
especially if the temple or eridian ruins are nearby. Say… In this giant pyramid…
Tumblr media
so this doesn’t fit in with the aesthetic of Athenas at all. it’s almost like those are caution colors on the bottom strip there. warning you to not go inside. i don’t know if this was built by the eridians or by whoever is on Athenas to keep whatever’s inside… inside (cough Rampagers cough)
either way that pyramid is FUCKING HUGE
seriously, just compared to the academic district, it’s insanely big (that is the BASE in the background)
Tumblr media
also guess who just realized this would be a hilarious joke by gearbox
to have pyramids built by ancient aliens. oh, you.
Tumblr media
also, side note, there’s a crew challenge for moxxi in the academic district
Tumblr media
i just have no idea how we’re getting up there…
oh but the Order. yeah i get the feeling they know A LOT about Sirens/Eridians. maybe even what’s about to go down. but maybe a majority of that was lost in the archives when some corrupts assholes came into power. and now Maya returned and is slowly but surely unarchiving everything we need to know about Sirens.
Tumblr media
perhapith this book has some Siren-y knowledge within it? from someone who went into the temple on Athenas and… never came back out.
and I would bet Maya is waging war against Maliwan at the same time as she’s uncovering all this buried info (protecting the Order) because Maliwan is trying to get this info as well. 
Seriously, anyone else notice Maliwan is SPREADING?? They’re not just on Promethea. they’re on Eden-6. They’re on Athenas. They’re even fuckin on Pandora in some trailers (although I would not trust any trailer with roses at this point. something’s really fucky. I will make a seperate post about that i think, once we get Amara’s and Fl4k’s trailers). I’m really suspicious that Maliwan has either joined the cult, or they’re going to become the main villains. which, y’know, given corporations are the big bad in borderlands always… that seems about right.
I wouldn’t even be surprised if Maya/the Order knows something about the Children of the Vault. Given that one pic of her holding a book with the CoV symbol on it.
Tumblr media
that she seems to be passing on to Ava
Tumblr media
I dunno. I don’t think Children of the Vault is a name that the cultists/Calypsos just HAPPENED to come up with. And I still don’t think that the broadcast easter egg is from the Calypsos. it doesn’t make sense. I know I went over this in-depth in the Promethea post but god damn it im going to do it again because i feel so strongly about this.
Tumblr media
i feel like the cult stumbled upon this name and decided to adopt it as their own. or tried revive an old cult with the same name. and if they didn’t, why in the hell does the message say ‘Do Not Open the Vaults’? How do the twins know about Tannis by name?
i mean, okay, granted we don’t know exactly how she fixed the Vault Map and it could be that the twins know how she did it. Because I still haven’t been able to place that one shot of them walking outside the Recruitment Center 
Tumblr media
this one
and we know tannis fixes (??) the Vault Map in the recruitment center, so, maybe they saw it happen or there’s some sort of record in the vault map? that shows her fixing it and when they get to Promethea they send out that message?
Tumblr media
i meannn she seems pretty surprised it’s functioning, herself.
so maybe they come while/after tannis fixes the key/map to get it back and Lilith like alright everyone let’s book it to Ellie’s garage with the Map. she’ll help us get to Sanc-III.
and in that they see that she’s able to fix it (possibly with weird Siren/Destroyer/Slag/pickurpoison powers) and that’s how they know Tannis is not what she seems.
and maybe the twins just don’t want their cultists opening the vaults because they want to be the ones to open it.
Sure
BUT that’s boring sauce to theorize about because it’s all just there. I’m still partial to the idea that Children of the Vault is actually referring to Sirens tho. It would explain why Maya has a book with the symbol for the CoV on it and is offering it to Ava. Because why would Ava need a book about the Calypsos? who would WRITE a book about the Calypsos?? and make it look THAT old? like… c’mon.
At the very least, it’s an old name for a cult that got revived by the Calypso twins.
At the most, it’s the name for Sirens.
Or it’s the symbol for the Order of the Impending Storm, back when they were respectable. tho you think we’d see maya wearing the symbol somewhere in bl2, so maybe not. unless she took it off her clothes because they had her try to kill unarmed civilians.
I mean, why is the cult’s symbol the Vault symbol upside down, anyway? We know that the symbol for the Vaults in Eridian is the upside-down V in a circle, because Tannis tells us so in bl1. So why would a cult of people who believe the Vaults to be their birthright go around slapping what is essentially the opposite symbol everywhere?
i personally wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the symbol for Siren or something, given how closely intertwined they both seem to be to that alternate dimension.
regardless. let’s keep going
so let’s talk about Maya’s fate in BL3. Is she gonna die? is she not gonna die? i dunno. let’s discuss.
i personally would not be surprised if she does, but i’d be a little disappointed regardless. if any Siren is gonna die… Lilith is going to finish her character arc this game. not that I want her to die, but still. I get that they gotta keep the Siren cycle going.
sooo one big point in the ‘maya dies’ category:
Tumblr media
“Oh noo she ded” i mean. that’s just mean, gearbox. 
of course we don’t know if that’s talking specifically about Maya, could be talking about Tyreen, or a miniboss, or something. but i do think it’s interesting that it’s on maya’s legendary. plus uhhh given we had a death out of Roland in BL2, and in TPS 2 of those VHs died as well, I think it’s a given at least one BL2 VH isn’t gonna live to see the end of 3. as much as that actually physically pains me to type. 
And… to tip the scales further to Maya, Zer0 has crew challenges, which probably means they won’t be biting the dust anytime soon, unless you wanna completely ruin doing all the crew challenges by beating the game before doing the assassination quests. which doesn’t seem like something they’re keen on doing, if Roland giving out side quests had anything to say about it. Of course there’s always the argument that someone will take over Zer0′s crew challenges if they die, but… who would? Rhys? maybe. i get the feeling he might be too busy with Atlas though. Lorelei..? … i don’t know her well enough to make a statement on that.
Tumblr media
taken from K6′s awesome legendary loot vid
Back to the legendary. we know it’s hers based off the name ‘Cloud Kill’, which is one of her best skills (after the buff lol). It’s a corrosive only Maliwan smg (as far as i can tell. it doesn’t look like there’s the option to swap elements. so it’s cool to know uniques might throw out their manufacturer’s alternate firing modes). i’m gonna take a guess and say it mimics cloud kill by spawning a cloud on top of enemies that are shot with it. that could clean out an entire room in seconds, especially on Amara with Phasegrasp.
anyway i got more
so Ava is Maya’s apprentice, hmmmm?
well i dunno about you guys but whenever a character gets an apprentice/kid/whatever, it’s not good news for the character. and given that borderlands definitely doesn’t need children to keep the premise fresh, I’m a bit worried for Maya.
Ava must be important to the main story, or they could’ve taken her out or put Gaige in. The devs themselves said they only wanted to bring in characters that they knew had significant importance to the plot and so that characters wouldn’t feel shoehorned in.
so there’s a few ways things can go down with Ava, using apprentice stereotypes:
1) She takes over after Maya dies/has her powers stolen/is brainwashed and helps us bring Maya back by proving herself using the stuff she learned from Maya (or, the stuff she taught herself that Maya said wasn’t important)
1b) she inherits Maya’s powers and Maya trains her in the way of Phaselock
Tumblr media
possibly maya handing over her class mod or smth
2) she’s evil and the cult is using her to get info and secretly hates maya or whatever
Given Ava is like… 12… I wanna believe she’s not evil. of course we don’t actually know if she’s 12 cause apparently the Siren lore got messed up knowing Angel had her powers manifest at 5. but that’s not canon until mentioned in-game, so fuck it: let’s believe Ava is 12 and not evil and is just Maya’s kickass Siren apprentice.
The apprentice Maya was able to find because the Order knew how to track Sirens/determine if someone is going to exhibit Siren powers.
yes, let’s go with that.
So… what’s gonna happen to Maya, then?
I personally believe she’s going to have her powers stolen and used against her. One major part of her powers is that she’s able to ‘Thoughtlock’, which basically brainwashes an enemy to fight for her.
That sounds like it would be insanely powerful in the hands of the Calypso twins, especially since Maya has gotten more powerful since bl2, and tbh I can’t see them wanting to pass it up. Of course it could also be story-breaking, but let’s say they can only have one person ever Thoughtlock-ed at a time and suddenly it’s a lot less troublesome.
Tumblr media
so this scene makes me do a big thonk
(also, another reason im thinking this temple area is on Athenas is bc Maya’s there! plus there are triangles everywhere. Triangles… pyramids… iunno. just spitballing)
also idk if this is just cause she’s super teeny-tiny buuuut
Tumblr media
im worried i can’t see maya’s tattoos
she’s also entirely focused on the player instead of… oh, idk, the giant rampager right next to her
Tumblr media
and idk it looks almost like she’s holding a gun and aiming it at us?
which hey, i wouldn’t jump to conclusions right away because she does have a skill that allows her to heal allies by shooting them
but also… if she doesn’t have her siren powers, then that’d just be like… regular shooting, wouldn’t it? and if she DOES have her Siren powers, why in the hell is she not using them on the giant monster right next to her???
we see her again in the background of this shot
Tumblr media
again… tattoos not 100% clear.
she also seems to be taking radiation damage from the rampager! which is good. but also she doesn’t seem to care that much about it.
we can also see her gun here
Tumblr media
sorry it was kinda being obscured by the youtube progress bar
Tumblr media
but uhhh it’s not looking good.
boy i really hope Maya doesn’t die
we also know it was hinted that Krieg might be making a return! from his voice actor’s twitter:
Tumblr media
tho, he also soon made a tweet after that was all like “this doesn’t confirm nor deny that krieg is returning” which, yeah i get that.
either way, if Krieg is coming back, it’d be interesting to see what goes down with him, especially if Maya dies. or even if Maya’s ‘just’ in trouble, I could see him going absolutely apeshit.
maybe krieg will sacrifice himself to save maya, somehow. maybe he’s have a moment of pure lucidity and save her. maybe she’ll die and he’ll lose his mind and become a boss battle. maybe she’ll save him and they’ll live happily ever after ;w; who knows~
maybe ava will have heard about Krieg through Maya and will go to get him to try and help save her. that’d be really interesting to see- krieg smashing through a wall with Ava riding on his shoulder lol
anyway, holy shit im exhausted. i gotta wrap this up because it’s like 1am and i’ve been working on this post for like… 3 days straight now. ech.
if maya does die, it would be interesting to see is Ava inherits her powers after we kill the Calypsos. like, would the powers try to go back to their original host? would they see she’s dead and just find another Siren to give the powers to? i wonder if maya dying/being about to die would be enough of a traumatic experience for ava to unlock her siren powers.
ohh it’d be cool if Ava unlocked her siren powers and used them to save Maya from the cult/brainwashing/whatves
alright. im tired lmao
good night.

Ocean Moon, a Steven Universe fanfic - Chapter 10: What To Do
Ao3 Link
The initial reaction from what they had just seen caused a bit of panic among the group. Betty instinctively jumped into Harry’s arms, Mara started crying, and Diana couldn’t find any other words other than ”holy shit”.
Needless to say, things did not go as planned.
”Oh my stars oh my stars oh my stars...” Mara said quietly to herself, hugging her knees. ”I wanna go home...”
”Did you friggin’ see that?!” Betty exclaimed, still holding onto Harry, who was shaking himself.
”I’m too handsome to die!” he cried.
”I knew we weren’t alone here.” Diana added. ”I was right!” She felt a little satisfied her suspicions were correct, but also terrified and wished she hadn’t been right.
”EVERYONE QUIET!” Eyeball yelled. The panic stopped and everyone looked at her.  Betty realized she was still in Harry’s arms and quickly moved away without saying a word, a slight embarrassment fell over her. ”We have to remain calm.”
”What kind of Gem do you think that was?” Diana asked, collecting herself and sitting back down.
”It was teardrop shaped, so maybe a Lapis Lazuli?” Harry suggested.
”No, it was too light colored to be a Lapis.” Diana replied.
”Too bad we didn’t get to see what the color was.” Mara commented. ”Maybe we’d have a better clue.”
”Whoever they are, they’re terrifying!” Betty shouted. ”We have to do something!”
”But what they’re friendly?” Mara suggested.
”They destroyed a toy car just by looking at it!” Harry responded, throwing his hands up in the air to show emphasis.
”Maybe the Gem thought they were in danger and acted in self defense.” she defended, crossing her arms. ”We don’t know their side of the story!”
”I swear, Mara. Your blind optimism about people is going to get you in trouble one day.” he huffed in frustration.
”Hey! Before we all lose our heads, shut up and listen to me!” Eyeball yelled again. She took a deep breath, and then looked at everyone. ”Now we know for certain there’s someone else here. Hiding in this base doesn’t seem like the best option since it’ll just get us nowhere.”
”So what are we going to do?” Mara inquired.
”We’ll go looking for this mysterious Gem and hope they aren’t hostile.” Eyeball announced.
”And if they are?” Betty asked.
”There’s five of us and one of them.” the Ruby reminded them. ”I’m sure we can handle this.”
The group looked at each other with unsure glances, hoping that they were right.
No one could rest easily that night. The knowledge of another presence, one that could possibly pose a threat if they weren’t careful lingered in their minds. There was a feeling of uneasiness in the air that lasted throughout the night.
Morning came sooner than they had hoped, but by then they felt brave enough to go seek out their unknown neighbor. As the five exited the base, they could only hope this confrontation would end peacefully.
“Before we move forward, I surely hope you have something to defend yourselves with should something go wrong.” Eyeball told the group.
Harry summoned a sword from his gem. “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you all.”
“So will I.” Betty added as she summoned her whip.
“I’ve got my water powers.” Diana mentioned, her wings appearing as she started to float above the group.
Mara looked down shyly. “I’m not much of a fighter, but I can defend myself.” she explained. “Velvet gave me pepperspray. Oh! And I could cause a distraction with my holograms.”
“Good enough.” Eyeball said as the door to the Diamond Base closed behind them.
“Now, we’ve got a neighbor to visit.”

Star Trek Discovery 1x02
flashback time
getting some of that good good captain and xo relationship
getting some of those dynamic tilted camera angles for extra DRAMA
the holograms instead of veiw-screens really help give the scenes so much energy
I think this has already set the record for most view of Klingon culture from Klingon eyes. (Worf doesn’t quite count because he’s an outsider to his own culture)
the entire in klingon scenes really help with this
as does the costume/face/ship redesign
“they come to destroy our individuality” Aww yeah the federation as an assimilation culture and aliens disliking it for being so. Got some of that from DS9
Whose Conner?
doesnt matter he’s ded
good old classic MIND MELD
how is that force field wall still up  when half the wall is gone. Did it just adapt to keep her confined?
these battles so much more dramatic than ship shake because the crew bounces around seat
seriously these holograms allow for much more drama. Including body language, blocking on sets.
honestly it makes the drama that they got in older series that much more impressive
“so far its apparently against the camera man's religion to keep the camera at a straight angle“
RIP ADMIRAL
fuck the Klingon ship cutting the other ship in half is metal af
I really need to rewatch some of these klingon scenes, because I don’t really remember who is whom, and what their individual agendas are.
Aww yeah logic arguing the computer
it’s different to have a star trek show where there are only like 3 crew members we know, captain, number one, and alien scientist
are those phasers set to stun or kill?
is he not wielding a batleth??!?!
this is real fighting not old school 2 fisted punch
DID THEY JUST FUCKING KILL THE CAPTAIN
WHAT
i can’t believe it i just got so invested in her and number one’s relationship
Number one just killed the Klingon leader, she doesn’t have a good record for not making things worse
OH shit court martial for Michael
damn, this is dark as shit. Seriously look at the court martial council sitting in shadow
“I am the enemy” a bit overdramatic, also life imprisonment
THATS HOW THE episode ends!!! WHAT THE FUCK
what kind of star trek is this
yay cute science alien showed up in season trailer
what kind of star trek is where they don’t time travel out of this????
i don’t know if i like this yet
this doesn’t seem like the relaxing star trek of before
but I do admire that it isn’t retreading things (cough cough Enterprise) and is VERY different
Man I thought the female captain was one of the main characters and they killed her off. Star trek has never done that before, like sure they thought about it with BoBW Part 1, but they didn’t do it
The season trailer shows her transferring to like a special ops ship, guess that explains why the original bridge crew didn’t get characterization
I think what has me most shook is star trek held up consequences, didn’t time travel out of it. That’s actually impressive. Serious consequences for a serious mutiny. Because for so much of star trek the protagonists don’t fail, or if they do it doesn’t really cause lasting consequences that feel severe or real.
I think I need to rewatch/read some analysis to see how much of the start of the war was Michael’s fault. Like she is blamed for it, and definitely fucked up, but I’m sure the internet will throw her under the bus more than she deserves.
The set up of her arc seems to be past Klingon trauma, and emotion vs logic.
