I just hope the

Enterprise

isn't completely empty

 

"Captain Burnham and Book journey into extradimensional space"

So they're not going to the Mirror Universe, just somewhere outside of both universes.

 

Spoiler: What You Leave Behind

Do you suppose Michael will find a recording by Emperor Philippa Georgiou teasing of the adventures she's had since entering the Gateway?

 

This one confused me (and that's easy). Surely she could have done that anyway assuming she was returned to the past but in the Prime. It does tie into my own thoughts about whether the crew does research what happened to their colleagues and family in the past, beyond Michael reading about Spock. In particular how they would have felt about Pike's accident.

 

Based on the new info we got about the S31 movie. I highly doubt it.

 

May I ask what new info about the S31 movie? I missed that, if you don't mind spoilering?

 

The Breen lost their snout, and now we know what they look like under the helmet

 

Interesting.

Maybe the Snout was a more primitive breathing aparatus?
Future iterations of the breathing device should be more compact / less bulky?

 

Mirroring () the end of S1



So the version we saw in Mirror Mirror was from before, meaning the Terran Discoprise is a refit of the TOS Conny, not an earlier version



What's a torpedo's payload?

 

I see it as fair trade. The mirror universe got our defiant, and we got their enterprise. Only took a thousand years

 

This was a fine episode for Character development, especially getting the backstory on Moll and Lak. I am having a little trouble understanding why they can't be separated for long though, and there really is a strong connection with them. Maybe a future episode will show how they met and Moll's first curior run? I also wondered why the ISS Enterprise. If it comes down to just that Dr Cho, than I wonder if they could have used any other ship, but I was waiting for more significance of the ISS Enterprise and they didn't really provide any.

I liked last week's episode better, but this one did a great job forwarding the momentum and giving use more Moll and Lak. I'm actually intrigued to see where this goes.

I guess instead of being packed with matter and antimatter being brought together to power the “photon swash”, for these they scooped out the usual setup and just topped them up with just lots more antimatter.

 

Wasn’t clear on the Breen’s “other face” — so, they’re “posthuman” (postbreen) cyborgs? Or something.

 

Wonder if it’s some sort of biological thing the breen exert (?) that’s cause any species that “mates” with them to form a literal bond.

 

I figured the 24th century Breen helmet snout was just an air filter or cooling apparatus for the head and face. 800 years earlier and cruder technology that required much larger cryotech.

 

Only took what 30 years to finally see what they look like

 

I liked that their uniforms still had the diagonal fabric striping and lines of the DS9 costumes.

 

I assume the payload of a photon torpedo is usually matter to react with the antimatter. So, I guess they just doubled the antimatter?

 

As usual, I find myself siding with the guy saying that maybe the captain shouldn't be flying this particular mission herself.
