since carol marcus essentially invents the star trek version of the A Bomb i'm gonna need her to have the type of concerning brilliance that just cannot be confined, be maddening, enviable, conflicted, morally ambiguous, and not entirely ethical send post

#strange new worlds #carol marcus #pls give me unstable carol i beg of you #dont make her another hero make her a complex woman who isnt when it comes down to it ethically sound #i thought the aos version of carol was atrocious (jj's fault) and there's a lot of UNTAPPED motive in carol's genesis project and secrecy #around David #that never got fleshed out in the 80s bc it was the 80s and she was a woman #but gives us a complex female character who challenges jim kirk and pushes the boundaries of the lines he eventually draws for righteousness #snw she doesnt need to be Good to be a good character #dont catch that writerly virus #star trek #jim kirk #i need like the azula of star trek - just as extra and pitiful and enviable #and frightening #but like you wanna shake her and sympathize but then at one point youre like..... wait #youre off the deep end #if they dont make her a little sus it will be extremely unbelievable
