Maya?? Maya!!
also Athenas lmao
finally i am free to work on this
boy i sure hope we donât get more info soon *squints at Amaraâs 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⌠theyâre 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 itâs not like the eridians had any spaceships weâve seen. but they had to get around somehow.Â
also itâs 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.Â
i also discuss Maya and her thoughtlock skill (if she gets her powers taken away from her) and if sheâs gonna die or not. because sheâs got the Cloud Kill legendary (âoh noo she dedâ), an apprentice (letâs be real, the cliches arenât looking great), and she seems to working beside rampagers in that giant temple area (also another reason i think itâs on athenas) and tbh i didnât see her tattoos in either of those shots (but that could be cuz sheâs so smoll). so thatâs cool.Â
oh also the order of the impending storm was probably pretty respectable back in the day, since they can track sirens (mayaâs assassin in son of crawmerax), and maybe thatâs how maya figured out ava was gonna be a siren even tho she hasnât manifested her powers yet. and Mayaâs probably unearthing all this buried Siren/Vault knowledge and bringing the Academic District back into power while also protecting the Order from Maliwan. whoâs 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 havenât 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.Â
also i, an idiot, was all like âmannnn Athenas is super mountainy, thatâs wild. love itâ and neglected to realize thereâs literally a giant fucking pyramid in the background of a lot of shots
on the right
behind the tower
to the right of ava
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 theyâre not 1 polygon
either way, if thatâs not at least part of the temple, itâs definitely important. somehow.
but letâs talk about the temple. the parts we know.
letâs try to look out the windows of this wild place
see cause this looks like inside a mountain
so my first instinct was eden-6 because we see a volcano on there
i mean im under the assumption this is eden-6???
bc all the plants match up
⌠maybe thereâs more than one temple?
oh god i donât wanna separate these by temple thatâs going to be IMPOSSIBLE
but yeah i guess itâs possible thereâs one on Eden-6 and one on Athenas⌠dear godâŚ
but yeah my first instinct for that was âinside a volcanoâ
possible mountain on the left there
very rocky all around. im assuming this is underground or smth?
it feels like weâre underground
so maybe itâs a thing where it just keeps going further down. iunno.
itâs hard to place exactly where this is going to be because of the whole âundergroundâ thing
the part thatâs throwing me off the most is this
because this looks like Pandora bc of Elpis and the rocks
and it looks like weâre 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 weâd 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
im almost inclined to believe this is some sort of Eridian teleportation system. i know, i know, we have Sanctuary-III so itâs 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.
to
when taken by the cult or smth.
idk itâs possible we wonât have sanc-III for the entire game (just like normal sanctuary in bl2, in that weâll get it back eventually (or ill kill someone for taking my room decorations)) and then weâll have to use this wicked eridian tech to move between planets with these gateways. sort of like a stargateâŚ
this thing is a stargate. Iâll call back to this in a hot second.
what kinda shit am i tripping on? i donât 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 theyâve traveled across the galaxy, putting vaults on different places. how in the fuck could they have done that if, you know, they didnât have spaceships to travel through⌠space?Â
well we know they have the power of teleportation down pat. i mean down so hard they were able to create a âteleportation glandâ that allowed a giant vault monster to teleport at will. (now im wondering if lilith has one⌠hm.)Â
this blue thing (which⌠is the same color as siren stuff. okay. im sorry. i wonât get off topic this time. but itâs 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 theyâre created links between planets using this dimension? i just⌠something isnât right here and this seems like the most logical solution.Â
take a look at Eleseer. look at all those holograms of labeled planets. of galaxies and stars in the distance. itâs possible eleseer is like the Hub for this teleportation system (explaining why itâs always open) and explaining why itâs got all those weird planet holograms sitting around. could also explain why Moon = Key.
These arenât Vaults, they wouldnât 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?
because i think athenas has a gateway in it too
yeah you should recognize that thing in the background!
thatâs this place!!! from the behind closed doors demo!!
and it still
doesnât look like a vault to me
itâs intact (also it looks like stairsâŚ). all the Vaults weâve seen are 100% not intact. theyâre all chunky and in pieces (weâre 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)
chunky
im just saying there has to be a reason these vault-like shapes are intact. theyâre either just statues/monuments or they have a purpose.
so why tf am i convinced they have a purpose?
bc weâve seen one light up
taken straight from the void itself (seriously itâs like a gradient back there. which is weird.)
so thereâs gotta be a reason it does this right? and if itâs not a Vault, because itâs on Pandora and the Crimson Raiders would have seen it on the Vault Map, then what the fuck is it?
welllllllll i just donât know. but my best guess right now is some sort of teleportation system to travel between planets. if there are âtemples�� on every planet then it would make sense that there is some way for eridians to travel btwn them.Â
personally i think thereâs one on eden-6 (maybe in that volcano area??) and one on Athenas (cause we really havenât seen a lot of athenas yet and⌠i dunno i just have a feeling). and thereâs apparently one on Pandora (given we see it with elpis in the background) and possibly one on Promethea. i donât know what that instagram video was trying to imply. i donât 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
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
2. theyâre flying flags with the vault symbol on it
3. giant pyramid in the back
itâs staggeringly huge
4. they have siren tattoos on the building in the back there. specifically, amaraâs tattoos
yeah. maybe this is Partali? a smaller area on Athenas, like Meridian is a city on Promethea, and this is Amaraâs way of tagging her presence/an area under her protection as the Tiger
more shots of Athenas from the amd horizons e3 stream
itâs a very pretty planet
so if anything, this is the place weâre going to go to learn about Sirens.
and i donât know how much the Order of the Impending Storm actually KNOWS about Sirens, because all we know about them from mayaâs 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
thatâs probably importantâŚ
âMaya, youâll like this next dude. Heâs 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.â
who isnât, 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 hasnât 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.
yâknow if tannis didnât kill that siren tracker dude maybe she couldâve learned something from him first. that couldâve been interesting.
anyway, idk. maybe at one point the Order was respectable and, like, didnât force people into giving them money by using sirens as a scare tactic.Â
it looks like they have/had an academic district (which im sure maya is helping cultivate) focused on Sirens/Vaults.
and thereâs a lot of importance on books this game
seriously
apparently
thereâs
a
lot.
but letâs get back to this in a minute, because i do wanna talk about the name of the Order.
itâs full name is the Order of the Impending Storm.
I know while writing bl2 they probably didnât know that they were gonna be building towards a war in tps, but itâs 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? iâd be willing to bet a yes. I mean, war is coming. Impending Storm sounds like itâd be a pretty fitting name for an organization that knew this. Especially because according to Mayaâs 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 isnât it implied that the Order did, in fact, know more about Sirens than Maya did? hell, maybe even TannisâŚ
especially if the temple or eridian ruins are nearby. Say⌠In this giant pyramidâŚ
so this doesnât fit in with the aesthetic of Athenas at all. itâs almost like those are caution colors on the bottom strip there. warning you to not go inside. i donât know if this was built by the eridians or by whoever is on Athenas to keep whateverâs inside⌠inside (cough Rampagers cough)
either way that pyramid is FUCKING HUGE
seriously, just compared to the academic district, itâs insanely big (that is the BASE in the background)
also guess who just realized this would be a hilarious joke by gearbox
to have pyramids built by ancient aliens. oh, you.
also, side note, thereâs a crew challenge for moxxi in the academic district
i just have no idea how weâre getting up thereâŚ
oh but the Order. yeah i get the feeling they know A LOT about Sirens/Eridians. maybe even whatâs 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.
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 sheâs uncovering all this buried info (protecting the Order) because Maliwan is trying to get this info as well.Â
Seriously, anyone else notice Maliwan is SPREADING?? Theyâre not just on Promethea. theyâre on Eden-6. Theyâre on Athenas. Theyâre even fuckin on Pandora in some trailers (although I would not trust any trailer with roses at this point. somethingâs really fucky. I will make a seperate post about that i think, once we get Amaraâs and Fl4kâs trailers). Iâm really suspicious that Maliwan has either joined the cult, or theyâre going to become the main villains. which, yâknow, given corporations are the big bad in borderlands always⌠that seems about right.
I wouldnât 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.
that she seems to be passing on to Ava
I dunno. I donât think Children of the Vault is a name that the cultists/Calypsos just HAPPENED to come up with. And I still donât think that the broadcast easter egg is from the Calypsos. it doesnât 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.
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 didnât, why in the hell does the message say âDo Not Open the Vaultsâ? How do the twins know about Tannis by name?
i mean, okay, granted we donât know exactly how she fixed the Vault Map and it could be that the twins know how she did it. Because I still havenât been able to place that one shot of them walking outside the Recruitment CenterÂ
this one
and we know tannis fixes (??) the Vault Map in the recruitment center, so, maybe they saw it happen or thereâs some sort of record in the vault map? that shows her fixing it and when they get to Promethea they send out that message?
i meannn she seems pretty surprised itâs functioning, herself.
so maybe they come while/after tannis fixes the key/map to get it back and Lilith like alright everyone letâs book it to Ellieâs garage with the Map. sheâll help us get to Sanc-III.
and in that they see that sheâs able to fix it (possibly with weird Siren/Destroyer/Slag/pickurpoison powers) and thatâs how they know Tannis is not what she seems.
and maybe the twins just donât want their cultists opening the vaults because they want to be the ones to open it.
Sure
BUT thatâs boring sauce to theorize about because itâs all just there. Iâm 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⌠câmon.
At the very least, itâs an old name for a cult that got revived by the Calypso twins.
At the most, itâs the name for Sirens.
Or itâs the symbol for the Order of the Impending Storm, back when they were respectable. tho you think weâd 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 cultâs 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 wouldnât be surprised if thatâs the symbol for Siren or something, given how closely intertwined they both seem to be to that alternate dimension.
regardless. letâs keep going
so letâs talk about Mayaâs fate in BL3. Is she gonna die? is she not gonna die? i dunno. letâs discuss.
i personally would not be surprised if she does, but iâd 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 âmaya diesâ category:
âOh noo she dedâ i mean. thatâs just mean, gearbox.Â
of course we donât know if thatâs talking specifically about Maya, could be talking about Tyreen, or a miniboss, or something. but i do think itâs interesting that itâs on mayaâs 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 itâs a given at least one BL2 VH isnât gonna live to see the end of 3. as much as that actually physically pains me to type.Â
And⌠to tip the scales further to Maya, Zer0 has crew challenges, which probably means they wonât 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 doesnât seem like something theyâre keen on doing, if Roland giving out side quests had anything to say about it. Of course thereâs always the argument that someone will take over Zer0â˛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 donât know her well enough to make a statement on that.
taken from K6â˛s awesome legendary loot vid
Back to the legendary. we know itâs hers based off the name âCloud Killâ, which is one of her best skills (after the buff lol). Itâs a corrosive only Maliwan smg (as far as i can tell. it doesnât look like thereâs the option to swap elements. so itâs cool to know uniques might throw out their manufacturerâs alternate firing modes). iâm 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 Mayaâs apprentice, hmmmm?
well i dunno about you guys but whenever a character gets an apprentice/kid/whatever, itâs not good news for the character. and given that borderlands definitely doesnât need children to keep the premise fresh, Iâm a bit worried for Maya.
Ava must be important to the main story, or they couldâve 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 wouldnât feel shoehorned in.
so thereâs 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 wasnât important)
1b) she inherits Mayaâs powers and Maya trains her in the way of Phaselock
possibly maya handing over her class mod or smth
2) sheâs evil and the cult is using her to get info and secretly hates maya or whatever
Given Ava is like⌠12⌠I wanna believe sheâs not evil. of course we donât actually know if sheâs 12 cause apparently the Siren lore got messed up knowing Angel had her powers manifest at 5. but thatâs not canon until mentioned in-game, so fuck it: letâs believe Ava is 12 and not evil and is just Mayaâs 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, letâs go with that.
So⌠whatâs gonna happen to Maya, then?
I personally believe sheâs going to have her powers stolen and used against her. One major part of her powers is that sheâs able to âThoughtlockâ, 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 canât see them wanting to pass it up. Of course it could also be story-breaking, but letâs say they can only have one person ever Thoughtlock-ed at a time and suddenly itâs a lot less troublesome.
so this scene makes me do a big thonk
(also, another reason im thinking this temple area is on Athenas is bc Mayaâs there! plus there are triangles everywhere. Triangles⌠pyramids⌠iunno. just spitballing)
also idk if this is just cause sheâs super teeny-tiny buuuut
im worried i canât see mayaâs tattoos
sheâs also entirely focused on the player instead of⌠oh, idk, the giant rampager right next to her
and idk it looks almost like sheâs holding a gun and aiming it at us?
which hey, i wouldnât jump to conclusions right away because she does have a skill that allows her to heal allies by shooting them
but also⌠if she doesnât have her siren powers, then thatâd just be like⌠regular shooting, wouldnât 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
again⌠tattoos not 100% clear.
she also seems to be taking radiation damage from the rampager! which is good. but also she doesnât seem to care that much about it.
we can also see her gun here
sorry it was kinda being obscured by the youtube progress bar
but uhhh itâs not looking good.
boy i really hope Maya doesnât die
we also know it was hinted that Krieg might be making a return! from his voice actorâs twitter:
tho, he also soon made a tweet after that was all like âthis doesnât confirm nor deny that krieg is returningâ which, yeah i get that.
either way, if Krieg is coming back, itâd be interesting to see what goes down with him, especially if Maya dies. or even if Mayaâs âjustâ in trouble, I could see him going absolutely apeshit.
maybe krieg will sacrifice himself to save maya, somehow. maybe heâs have a moment of pure lucidity and save her. maybe sheâll die and heâll lose his mind and become a boss battle. maybe sheâll save him and theyâll 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. thatâd 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 itâs like 1am and iâve 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 sheâs 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 itâd 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 Harryâs arms, Mara started crying, and Diana couldnât find any other words other than âholy shitâ.
Needless to say, things did not go as planned.
âOh my stars oh my stars oh my stars...â Mara said quietly to herself, hugging her knees. âI wanna go home...â
âDid you frigginâ see that?!â Betty exclaimed, still holding onto Harry, who was shaking himself.
âIâm too handsome to die!â he cried.
âI knew we werenât alone here.â Diana added. âI was right!â She felt a little satisfied her suspicions were correct, but also terrified and wished she hadnât been right.
âEVERYONE QUIET!â Eyeball yelled. The panic stopped and everyone looked at her. Â Betty realized she was still in Harryâs arms and quickly moved away without saying a word, a slight embarrassment fell over her. âWe have to remain calm.â
âWhat kind of Gem do you think that was?â Diana asked, collecting herself and sitting back down.
âIt was teardrop shaped, so maybe a Lapis Lazuli?â Harry suggested.
âNo, it was too light colored to be a Lapis.â Diana replied.
âToo bad we didnât get to see what the color was.â Mara commented. âMaybe weâd have a better clue.â
âWhoever they are, theyâre terrifying!â Betty shouted. âWe have to do something!â
âBut what theyâre friendly?â Mara suggested.
âThey destroyed a toy car just by looking at it!â Harry responded, throwing his hands up in the air to show emphasis.
âMaybe the Gem thought they were in danger and acted in self defense.â she defended, crossing her arms. âWe donât know their side of the story!â
âI swear, Mara. Your blind optimism about people is going to get you in trouble one day.â he huffed in frustration.
âHey! Before we all lose our heads, shut up and listen to me!â Eyeball yelled again. She took a deep breath, and then looked at everyone. âNow we know for certain thereâs someone else here. Hiding in this base doesnât seem like the best option since itâll just get us nowhere.â
âSo what are we going to do?â Mara inquired.
âWeâll go looking for this mysterious Gem and hope they arenât hostile.â Eyeball announced.
âAnd if they are?â Betty asked.
âThereâs five of us and one of them.â the Ruby reminded them. âIâm sure we can handle this.â
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 werenât 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.
âBefore we move forward, I surely hope you have something to defend yourselves with should something go wrong.â Eyeball told the group.
Harry summoned a sword from his gem. âDonât worry, Iâll protect you all.â
âSo will I.â Betty added as she summoned her whip.
âIâve got my water powers.â Diana mentioned, her wings appearing as she started to float above the group.
Mara looked down shyly. âIâm not much of a fighter, but I can defend myself.â she explained. âVelvet gave me pepperspray. Oh! And I could cause a distraction with my holograms.â
âGood enough.â Eyeball said as the door to the Diamond Base closed behind them.
âNow, weâve got a neighbor to visit.â

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 doesnât quite count because heâs an outsider to his own culture)
the entire in klingon scenes really help with this
as does the costume/face/ship redesign
âthey come to destroy our individualityâ 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 heâs 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
âso far its apparently against the camera man's religion to keep the camera at a straight angleâ
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 donât really remember who is whom, and what their individual agendas are.
Aww yeah logic arguing the computer
itâs 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 canât believe it i just got so invested in her and number oneâs relationship
Number one just killed the Klingon leader, she doesnât 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
âI am the enemyâ 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 donât time travel out of this????
i donât know if i like this yet
this doesnât seem like the relaxing star trek of before
but I do admire that it isnât 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 didnât do it
The season trailer shows her transferring to like a special ops ship, guess that explains why the original bridge crew didnât get characterization
I think what has me most shook is star trek held up consequences, didnât time travel out of it. Thatâs actually impressive. Serious consequences for a serious mutiny. Because for so much of star trek the protagonists donât fail, or if they do it doesnât 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 Michaelâs fault. Like she is blamed for it, and definitely fucked up, but Iâm 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.
