somehow manages to look iconic in what is probably 1000 degree weather. extremely classy desert chic. 9/10
it’s an outfit that tells people you care more about saving the day than presentation. 4/10
absolutely legendary. bright red robes with a cape flowing behind her? she has no right to be so damn classy. her asymmetric vulcan hairstyle is cool but not peak michael hair. 9/10
the mustard yellow prison jumper makes michael look just as defeated and exhausted as she is inside, but it also gives her a sort of “i am literally the only mutineer in the history of starfleet, and you’re gonna know about it” kind of flair. 7/10
really really good. 90% really good because of the cute hood and bent knee. she just knows how to stand? 8/10
it’s a generic workout outfit made good by the DISCO logo. 6/10
michael burnham KNOWS how to wear robes!! the popped collar? the slits in the outer robe to show off her forearms? the subtle gold highlights? iconic. 9.5/10
she just looks so great in that shade of blue. and that combat vest? absolutely killer. 9/10
wearing your uniform pants and a tanktop is such a power move. give me more “i passed out on my desk after working for 18 hours straight” aesthetics in star trek. i love it. 8/10
good lord. the mirrorverse REALLY knows how to make pajamas. good god. i have nothing coherent to say for you. 10/10
not as iconic as the prime universe tactical gear, but bonus points for a really cool chestplate. 8/10
captain burnham could stab me in the throat and i would thank her. the chestplate? the thigh holster? the arm-length fingerless gloves? WHO GAVE HER THE RIGHT??? 10000000000/10
this is probably the most legendary undercover outfit i’ve ever seen. i couldn’t find a good picture that showcased michael’s coat to its full ability, but trust me when i say it’s incredible. this outfit gets most of its points from that scarf, though. fucking incredible. 10/10
THERE’S NOTHING OVERLY SPECIAL ABOUT THE OUTFIT EXCEPT FOR HOW IT SHOWS OFF MICHAEL’S REINSTATED RANK AND NEW COMMENDATION!!!!! I’M SO PROUD OF HER!! SHE IS SO HAPPY! 10/10
I’m not who you think I am. Before I was a mutineer, I was a first officer in Starfleet. I’ll never bear that rank or any other again. But it is who I am and who I will always be. It is by the principles of the United Federation of Planets that I live. And by them, I will most certainly die.
Disco HC that Paul and Hugh probably resent Lorca about equal amounts actually, but in different ways.
Paul: “I hate Lorca because he’s an asshole and he’s always mean to me.”
Hugh: “I hate Lorca because he’s an asshole and he’s always mean to Paul and he has no right to treat him this way.”
Paul hates him because he’s personally affected by Lorca’s shitty behaviour and all he’s seeing is some Starfleet captain being and asshole towards him right from the first time they met and he doesn’t understand why Lorca seems to be so hell-bent on hating him and harassing him every chance he gets.
Hugh is seeing what Lorca is doing and he is fully aware that this is unacceptable behaviour for a Starfleet captain but technically there’s nothing he can personally do about it. He will admit to Paul that he doesn’t like Lorca and what he’s doing but will keep most of it to himself because he’s worried about rude civilian scientist Paul doing something that will get him in trouble with Starfleet if Hugh encourages him too much. By the time we get to 1×10 there’s so much pent-up anger that’s been boiling underneath the surface that Hugh has a hard time remaining professional during his conversation/argument with Lorca.
And you can bet your ass that if Hugh had been around for the *big reveal* about Lorca and his plan and how he used Paul and everyone else on the ship for it he personally would’ve ripped him a new one.
Personal spin on your take:
Paul hates Lorca because he is every bit the embodiment of what he thought Starfleet would be; authoritarian to the point of absurdity, disdainful of life and others, self-satisfied and always self-serving… Like, most obviously when he tells the admiralty the ship is ready to jump while knowing it’s not, then blaming Paul for the jump failing.
Hugh hates Lorca because he is every bit the embodiment of what he knows Starfleet shouldn’t be; but the war circumstances makes it impossible to hold him accountable. … That, and/or to convince Paul that this isn’t normal, actually, that it’s very much not supposed to be what he thought, dammit, why did it have to be that guy introducing Paul to Starfleet!!
