Unlike Terran Empire, Which Fell Centuries Ago - Star Trek Discovery 3x05

Emperor verbally probing for weaknesses
Interrogator: Uno Reverse Card

He is an excellent intelligence agent. Unassuming, observant, keen, intelligent, compartmentalizes, listener, expert with the Socratic Method, controls the mental chessboard, appears nonthreatening but gives off a most deadly vibe at the same time. He will probably go home and forget about all of this and return to his wife and family as if it were just another day at the job.
A perfect Section 31 Agent.

She was surprised by two things:
1. The fall of the terran empire.
2. How good this interrogator is.

Now all this scene needs is Garak coming out of nowhere to add his input.

Even after all these years, Michelle Yeoh is still smokin'...

"Vulcans need to learn how to stay in their lane sometimes"

😂

This is the level of writing I would like to see this series maintain.

"And yet it endures, unlike the Terran Empire which fell centuries ago." I remember saying something similar way back when "In a Mirror Darkly" aired.

Glasses guy: “Play with it.”
Georgiou: smash

I love how he talks so calmly and quietly. It gives him this layer of creepiness.

You have to agree the chemistry between these two is phenomenal!!

It occurred to me that as the Terran Empire fell centuries ago, with most humans killed or enslaved and since that Universe's people followed a very different history after the DS9 era - the two universes no longer mirrored one another anymore on any level, with the differences growing farther apart with each generation.
The people and cultures in one universe could never be "mirror born" in the other as linages were wiped out among their respective opposites. - each person was truly unique in their own universe with no mirror in the other.
Without that common link, as the mirror shattered forever, it makes sense that no-one would be able to cross between the two anymore, 500 years ago being a natural, final divergent point.

This kind of political intrigue captivates the Hell out of me.

I'm convinced he is from the Terran empire. But then why, would he grow up obsessed with the Terran empire unless he is legacy from section 31 and learned it from his parents!

Discovery’s writing has been hit or miss but Michelle Yeoh always steals the scene whenever she shows up.

"It seems you created an empire based on the maxim 'because we feel like it'!" BRILLIANT!

I think the interaction between those two was my favorite part of this episode. How he described the Terran empire as "because we feel like it" is so spot on

I think this is the moment when Georgiou starts to consider that the ideals of the Federation, which she had repeatedly ridiculed up to that point, were really better than the way the Empire does things.

this guy is like a star trek version of the G man. :D

I love Georgiou. She electrifies every scene because you have no idea what she is going to say or do.
