Star Trek: Discovery – Who is the Red Angel?

ThisStar Trekarticle contains spoilers.

It comes from Den of Geek UK.

In recent weeks weve been given some important pieces of information about the nature of this apparently strange being.

We know that it seems to be benevolent.

We know that it comes off as capable of traveling through time.

So who actually is the Red Angel?

First, lets venture to imagine what the angel cares about.

So we know the angel cares about keeping Michael alive.

A necessity for self-preservation.

Saru and Michael are, of course, close friends.

Thats not to say we wont learn more soon.

And interestingly, when he attempted to meld with the angel we the viewers saw images of Michael.

Were they representative of her being on Talos IV with Spock as he relived these memories?

Or was that an image of Michael received within Spocks vision?

Of course, there are reasons why it might not be Burnham, too.

For starters, if the angel repeatedly saves Burnham, then theres a paradox involved.

Furthermore, if Spock mind-melded with the angel, you would expect him to recognize if it was Burnham.

This leaves us with a couple of potential candidates as secondary theories neither of whom seems likely.

It could, for example, be Georgiou.

Alternatively, it could be Tilly.

Who better to become the Red Angel than Discos own Red-haired Angel?

Shes a lot closer to Stamets, after all.

And hey, theres another option: maybe its someone we dont know yet!

However you unpack the angels appearances, Burnham seems like the most logical and likely choice.

But let us know what you think?
