    I always though Lorca should have stayed and been a long term captain of discovery. He was a complex character but I always felt he was doing things for the greater good but just had to get a little dirtier each time. The show should have played off that and be initially about Micheál learning how to be a good starfleet officer and then the crew keeping the captain focused and on track during the difficult war.

    • @Creshex8

      I just began watching Discovery, finally, after being too hooked on SNW (I admit, I listened too much to the bad opinions of the show). I love it and since I came in knowing a lot of spoilers, I just so wish Lorca wasn't so preoccupied with his returning to his own universe. He would have made such a fine Starfleet Captain long-term. I'm totally obsessed with his leadership style and everything, and that's coming from me who is also totally obsessed with boy scout Pike.

    There was so much potential wasted with Lorca. They just turned him into a regular bad buy and killed him in the same episode. He could have been a rebel who wanted to end the empire to liberate the aliens. This would leave Discovery with a moral dilemma to who they should support.

      Turning him into a generic Jillian just because he was Terran was a huge mistake. They could have had him be like you said a rebel sympathiser. Rather than have him die trying to kill Burnham, he could have gave his life turning off the flagships shields so that Discovery could destroy it and escape home. He'd give his life for the Federation.
      The crew could have then kept his true identity a secret and informed Cornwell that he gave his life for his crew.

      Chewy, here's to hope.
      Ironically, I also Think he'd make a better Emperor that Girogo. He may be harsh and manipulative, but he does see the big picture and does have the capacity to actually care about those under him. He even inspired Loyalty in his Crew in the Mirror Universe without just relying on Brute Force.
      For the culture he's from, he's actually quiet a good man.

      @RoderickB 6 років тому +3

      +SK Wills Yeah. After watching promo for episode 13 I thought he'll become an emperor. Even if he's not back on Discovery at least he'll get what he wants. But making the guy who was one of two main characters on the show, a character who lots of people liked much more than Michael an ordinary villain and killing him as an ordinary villain was a bad move.

    • @skwills1629
      @skwills1629 6 років тому +1

      I suspect its because of the same writers flaw as The Last Jedi. They have embraced Feminist Ideology and assume the Audience has, too. Lorca was a White Man. The only thing better would be if he were Christian, but they nixed tat idea.
      The women of the show have to come out on top, and we are supposed to root for them and Think they are better simply based n them being Women. From VIce Admiral Holdo not telling Poe her plan, to Emperor Giorgiou being a cruel Dictator, to Michael Burnham being an insufferably arrogant and self righteous jerk, we're stuck with horrible Characters whose primary reason for existing is to one up the men.
      Voyager had pretty horrible writing. However, Janeway and Torres were at least presented as people, had flaws that were admitted to be flaws, weren't always right, didn't one up the men just because they were women, and were overall likable in general.
      But Empress Notasurprise is just a cruel and merciless Dictator, and Michael Burnham is just so full of herself its not worth caring about her career arch.
      All we need to cap this off is for Sarek to admit to Michael that he always loved her move than SPock.

    I feel that once again Burnham shows she's not federation material by choosing the side with the EMPEROR OF THE TERRAN EMPIRE. Yes Lorca was manipulating events to return to the mirror universe but there where plenty of times where he was not a bad guy. He chose to try and save Federation ships when possible, same with federation colonies. He showed considerable restraint while members of the discovery were aboard the klingon flagship. Yes Burnham was one of those aboard but it's still more restraint and compassion for the well being of others than most members of the Terran Empire are known for. Even when he's revealed, he tried hard not to let Burnham or Discovery come to harm during the coup. In the end I find it sad that his story had to end this way.

    • @Hartzilla2007
      @Hartzilla2007 6 років тому +17

      Except Lorca's speech wasn't exactly making him come off as better what with it basically being him saying the Empire wasn't racist and brutal enough.

    • @nittany272
      @nittany272 6 років тому +8

      I agree with you up to a point. He was absolutely willing to destroy Discovery once its usefulness subsided. He made that clear in the transmission to Saru. He would have destroyed Discovery had Burnham not stayed behind.

    • @Captain_Razor_88
      @Captain_Razor_88 6 років тому +4

      That, I feel, is because the writers botched up an opportunity for a serious character development arc for one of the few characters in this show that had potential, in favor of a 'villain of the week'. But that's my opinion of the matter. There is of course the possibility that he's not dead since his 'disintegration could have easily been his being absorbed into the Terran's version of the spore network. If the writers have any imagination at all, we may see Lorca again. I just feel he has so much potential for growth as a character to be more than he is. Unlike Burnham who betrayed her captain and then sided with the 'Space Nazi' version of that same captain.

    • @Theri4444
      @Theri4444 6 років тому +3

      it is simple really Burham chose the "lesser of the two evils" and the lesser of the two evils is the Empress and she chose to help the empress. Lorca made it quite clear that the Discovery was no longer useful and he was going to destroy it and everyone on it. Lorca also made a speech on what he was going to do when the empress did neither.

    • @UGOTNUKED
      @UGOTNUKED 6 років тому +1

      Nah, none of all that matter. The writer wanted a twist and turned him into a straight up bad guy. One that literally paraphrases Trump: "We will make our Empire glorious again!". And of course our main character sides with a genocidal tyrant who in an episode prior killed the MU version of her surrogate father Sarek. Because... oh well.

    • @ASMRMuzz
      @ASMRMuzz 6 років тому +2

      I have to agree. I love Discovery, but the space battle VFX are just...wrong? jarring? badly formatted? I dunno, I mean I like them better than NO space battles, but I honestly think they need to fire their VFX company and go with another one that has better composition and is able to milk each shot for all it's worth.
      Physical combat though is great!

    • @BR-cq2hm
      @BR-cq2hm 6 років тому +2

      @ASMR Muzz The ships look like game mods. They are well textured but look angular and unfinished, also their hulls have an unaesthetic pewter sheen and not trek's aztec patters with subtle shimmers. The result is irridescent-looking ships that film oddly and streak across the screen without being all that clearly visible.

    4 potential ways of Lorca coming back...
    1) Mirror Lorca didn't die but rather entered the mycelial network and is somehow healed by its mushroomness
    2) Prime Lorca didn't die (we've had no on screen confirmation either way)
    3) They go back in time and prevent the war from happening and so Prime Lorca is kicking about
    4) They go back in time and mirror Lorca transfers across as before but into a totally new situation
    All four of these can occur simultaneously. Please for the love of fuck bring him back somehow!

    FYI, the Tie-Fighter sound is actually a scream from an animal and has been used in many science fiction films like 'The Phantom Planet' from 1961.
    I don't know why it's used here since Lorca's brief scream is fine enough, but it's still technically a scream.
