    Discovery bringing Georgiou back in season 2 as a Section 31 agent felt to me like the show was doing this, and is what put me off that show specifically. I really like the majority of modern Trek shows, and even like 2 out of 3 of the Kelvin timeline movies.

      Georgiou eventually turned on her S31 superiors, joined the Discovery crew, and tried to make the Mirror Universe better when the Guardian (sort of) gave her the opportunity.

                      Do you have anything else to add but more seething rage?

                      I really doubt they were taking their other conversation that seriously and I don't think you need to either

                          Space Hitler felt kind of bad about some things and made some space friends and promises to make the next Space Reich a little nicer. No need for Space Nuremburg, for real. [Memeface]

                          This does not read as mirthful, it just seems like a mean-spirited, dismissive misrepresentation of their position . Sorry for bringing up what you said yesterday

                              Their reply was after your facetious comment with the meme face. Have you considered they were trying to meet your energy?

                                  That's OK. You should really consider if your comments are being misunderstood as dismissive instead of "mirthful" and how you can clarify that. Can always be better at communicating

                                      Ok, I do! I never meant to be neutral, I just thought you were getting worked up over a misunderstanding. Good luck with being mirthful and dazzling and all

                                              Well that doesn't make sense, I only like the mirror universe and section 31 as fun style breaks in ds9. Go niners!

      I think they brought her back in an attempt to backpedal the absolute fucking disaster that was season 1. I honestly enjoy Discovery as sci-fi, but when I rewatch Season 1 I can't shake the feeling they took another IPs pilot and stretched Star Trek over it like a horrible skinsuit.

        It had exactly the opposite effect for me. I greatly disliked season 1 of Discovery but thought they wrapped it up well enough at the end of the season that they could move on. Georgiou showing back up in season 2 read to me as them having learned absolutely nothing and doubling down on the disaster rather than backpedaling from it.

        I like Strange New Worlds. Very much hoping they complicate the Gorn cliffhanger they left the last season off with though.

            Your wife has watched 3/4 of the good modern Trek series and should watch Prodigy. (and the TNG era Treks)

            Yo, if you don't mind a bit of the Clone Wars getting in your Trek, Prodigy is a fantastic watch, Admiral Janeway is in the running for my favorite Star Fleet officer.
