Episode Discussion
"Terra Firma, Part II"
US Airdate: 17/12/2020 (CBS All Access)
International: 18/12/2020 (Netflix)
This thread is for the pre and post discussion of the Season 3 episode "Terra Firma, Part II" - this will be a spoiler filled discussion so if you've found your way past the warnings in the activity stream and the spoiler tag on the thread, this is your last chance to turn back, or at least it will be at the end of this first post. You have been warned!
Observing her perspective in the Mirror Universe, Georgiou's uncovers the true depth of the plots that were spun against her, leading to a revelation of how much her time on the Discovery in the Prime universe has changed her.
Some promo shots of the upcoming episode can be found here. I'm a little late this time as I mixed the days up and thought yesterday was Tuesday.
"Terra Firma, Part II" is episode 10 of 13.
Written by: Kalinda Vazquez from a story by Bo Yeon Kim, Erika Lippoldt & Alan McElroy

Well, I haven't cried that hard over a Star Trek episode in a very very long time, but the Emperor managed to knife me right in the feels.
Also, those of you who called Guardian of Forever were 100% right! Well done!

Well, guess I was close with my guess of something "Q-like". Unexpected twist, but nice tie back to the TOS era. Seems like Disco's writers have found their footing when it comes to dropping in tie-ins to other eras smoothly this season too. All in all another good episode, and looks like we're set to close out the Burn and possibly Emerald Chain storylines as well based on the teaser for the next episode (most likely in the form of several cliffhangers to spread it across the remaining episodes).
It will be interesting to see how the character development progresses from here. Arguably the darkest character is gone (hopefully to reemerge soon in this rumored Section 31 show that has been floating around for a few years now! And please give us more Reno to pick up the verbal assassination slack going forward. ), but the entire Disco crew has been painted as a band of rebels in Starfleet uniforms (though arguably they are more "Starfleet" than the 32nd century one). It makes me wonder if we'll end up seeing Disco solve the Burn only to become outlaws.
I have to say, I was kind of "meh" on liking Season 1, Season 2 was an improvement, but I'm genuinely liking Season 3. Not looking forward to the fact that we only have 3 more episodes left this season. With my other current "must watch" show, The Mandalorian, wrapping up tomorrow, I'm gonna have to go find a new binge soon.

I've heard good things, but unfortunately my wife is not a fan of Amazon Prime. Might have to plan some time to try to pick up a free month of it though and try to binge all of it.

Yeah this was a really great pair of episodes, They've really shown how much Georgiou has grown as a character from what we saw in the Terran universe.
I was kind of glad they sent her back to the past rather than to kill her off. Partly as she's too good a character to do that twice too, but because it means the S31 show won't be limited to the end of S1 and S2 of Discovery

My only complaint with the big reveal with Carl being the Guardian of Forever is that the portal was a portal and not images of the past like it had been in the City on the Edge of Forever. I guess the only reason to do that is so that it really hides what time the Emperor was sent to so the fans have no idea when the Section 31 show will take place if they actually go through with it.
Watched this before I watched the season finale of Mando today and I am not ashamed to say I cried manly nerd tears this morning because of both shows.

I did like how they used the original voice of "I am the guardian of forever" and tied it into Carl.
Tbh, I was guessing Guardian of Forever from last week, but I didn't want to get my hopes up because the planet name was different. Nice tie-in and kudos for using the Guardian properly and explaining what had happened to it since we saw it in TOS.
I'm glad they didn't go the Q route, its far too overdone and would've just spoiled it in my view.
I'd be delighted to offer any advice I have on understanding women. When I have some, I'll let you know.
