Feb. 17th, 2018 04:06 pmBecause there won't be a new episode tomorrow (or, for me, the day after), woe.
All spoilery for the finale stories:
Tiny Cities: lovely missing scene for the near end of the episode, Michael and Saru hanging out in Paris, still processing all that happened, or trying to. The relationship between these two was one of the highlights of the season to me, and this story renders it beautifully.
Medal of Honor: Katrina Cornwell, trying to cope with both her actions and her losses. If interviews are anything to go by, Admiral Cornwell was an example of something that happens on tv now and then (famously with Spike in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, who was at first supposed to be killed off after half a season): a character originally meant to be show up only briefly but where the actor/actress in question impressed TPTB by the way they bring said character to life, and the overall story changes. I'm really glad this was the case with Kat Cornwell, and thrilled fanfic continues to explore her as well.
Turning Point (One of many): in which Michael and Admiral Cornwell talk about about a certain decision, and again, loss, but also hope.
