Anagram 01/18/20 7:40:33 PM #98:	42. Philippa Georgiou Mwahaha, Im evil but Ill help you anyway. Its not really fair to count this as a character, since we have the real Philippa Georgiou for two episodes, then the rest is the Mirror Universe version. But whatever. I already explained my love for Discoverys Mirror Universe episodes in the Burnham writeup, so in short: the Mirror Universe is just so inherently silly that I love anything associated with it. Discovery is extremely stupid, and Georgiou injects some badly needed absurdity to make it more tolerable. I have an ipad that will blow up a nuclear bomb I placed inside of a volcano to force the enemy nation into backing down is the kind of nonsense youd expect in a James Bomb movie. A computer program has put nanomachines into a guy who is now immune to laser guns; Ill have a fistfight with him. Her second episode involves eating a guys brain and using a circular saw to kill a bunch of noblemen. Everything about her is presented with complete sincerity and its so, so silly. It helps that she actually does manage the whole gray morality element better than the rest of the cast. Shes a genocidal dictator who loses her human-supremacist empire, then has a chance to become a spy to help a more egalitarian democracy, and actually genuinely does want to help. She has an immediately more interesting setup than basically any other character on the show, and its further helped by having the only interesting dynamic with Michael Burnham of anyone. I look like your mother figure but Im completely different and you cannot redeem your earlier mistakes with her by helping me is bizarre, but it actually does work Right up until Michael accepts this, whereupon their dynamic becomes boring again. Can I just say that the show cheated with her introduction? I just wanted to say that. Besides calling her Emperor instead of Empress (and dont argue about this, the ENT episodes established the Terrans called female rulers Empresses), the first DIS Mirror Universe episode says no one knows what the Emperor looks like and all information is kept tightly guarded and that therere no images in the space internet of him. Then when Georgiou shows up, all of the unimportant extras on the bad guy ship just immediately recognize her and do the Heil Hitler. --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.
