Star Trek: All Discovery characters ranked from worst to best

5. Philippa Georgiou (Mirror Universe version)

It’s Michelle Yeoh, ’nuff said.

Philippa Georgiou from the Mirror Universe in Star Trek: Discovery is a character who truly turns the tables on expectations. Imagine going from a feared and ruthless emperor, reigning over the Terran Empire with an iron fist, to someone who begins to question and challenge her own beliefs and change. That’s the journey of Georgiou, and it’s nothing short of fascinating.

What makes her so captivating is this drastic shift in her character. Initially, she’s this daunting figure, someone you’d think twice before crossing paths with. But as the series unfolds, we see layers of her personality being peeled back, revealing complexities and even vulnerabilities. It’s like watching a diamond being cut from a rough stone – each episode carves out a new facet of her character, showing us that even the most formidable figures can evolve.

Georgiou’s transformation is a rollercoaster ride of intrigue, power plays, and unexpected emotional depth, making her an unforgettable part of the Star Trek: Discovery universe. The fact that she’s portrayed by Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh is just a bonus – and Yeoh is brilliant, truly brilliant at what she does.
