By Quasimodo:

Q. The Empire's over the top revenge on Azur.


@.They plotted to destroy the Empire , the Cleon Dynasty, Brother Day’s family. They caused Brother Dawn’s defects.

Brother Day just gave her a taste of her own medicine.

Sadly, despite their plan was stopped by Brother Dusk, they did succeed in undermining the equilibrium between two brothers ..had Demerzel not killed Brother Dawn the Empire would have been seriously compromised.



Q. Emo Demerol ripping her face off, the Empire Klingons are literally tearing her apart.

Personally, I think Demerzel would not have killed Brother Dawn had Brother Dusk accepted Brother Day’s decision.

Deep down she believed the Cleon dynasty lacks fresh blood like Halima said and when Brother Day unexpectedly wanted to let Brother Dawn live, I’m convinced she would have accepted his decision…seen it as a first step toward a fresh start , a new era (one of hope ) for the dynasty.

Brother Dusk’s outrage and attack on Brother day forced her hand and she removed the cause of their violent spat.. but she loved Brother Dawn as did Brother Day.

Q. Salva Hardon leaving Hugo Craster forever.

@ I’m pissed off too about the 138 year leap into the future.

I wanted to see the aftermath between the two Cleons.

Hugo is the Captain of the Invictus ..it’s possible that they make a jump in the future a 138 year jump .. we might still see him.

#1 seems harsh, but alas, it's not unlike our history.
Kings and emperors have gone after families for such transgressions. I recall hearing a story where prior to an assassination attempt on an Chinese emperor, all of the assassin's family members committed suicide since in the aftermath, they'd be hunted down anways

#2 Nice to have some unity
And his story about how Cleon II drove a wedge between them was nice to flesh out

#4 Yeah, looks like a "she lost it" moment! I'm interested to see if she'll reveal this true nature to the public!

#5 I'm surprised she returned to her home world. I thought she knew it would be doomed, but I guess there was something sentimental about it.. she had to do it none of the less.
