    I’ve said elsewhere in the thread that I think there’s a difference between redemption and atonement - I had the impression from the season 3 two-parter that they’d be taking the latter route with Georgiou. I think that could be really interesting, should they go in that direction.

    This teaser really didn’t provide any information as to whether they will, though.

      I missed that comment, but I still think it’s a matter of semantics between atonement and redemption. In Disco the rest of the characters just shrugged it off with a “she was a mass murderer, but she was our mass murderer”, and I find it rather disturbing that the franchise runners seem to do the same.

      Like I said, Michelle Yeoh is a treasure, but the character of mirror Georgiou has been dialed up to maximum evil yet she’s played for comic relief?

        To me, “redemption” implies forgiveness, while “atonement” implies reparation or sacrifice, without actual forgiveness being in the equation. I think it’s an interesting notion, if they can pull it off.

        Georgiou has great potential to be a sort of nature/nurture story.
