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.
