Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 5x05 - "Mirrors"

Yeah, that stood out to me too. I suppose that's the legalistic caveats she would've had to say. I can imagine that type of thing being said in the real world. I really wanted her to say, "I'll have Book take you both to the Gamma Quadrant Colony!" Although I can't remember if Moll mentioned that to them or not.

 

No need for apology--I thought that very same thing!

 

I'm no continuity hound. But holo-emitters on a 23rd century ship and we finally find out what the breen look like and they look exactly like humans? Questionable choices.

 

^
Both of these points.

 

Progenitors.

 

Thye had holos in the first season of DISCO didn't they? Plus its from the MU.
Lot of Green Orcish looking humans in your neighborhood?

 

Different showrunners and art team between those two seasons of Picard.

And the use of TOS footage in Discovery doesn’t count and it’s literally TOS footage.

 

They had holo emitters in Enterprise for target practice (similar design to the one in this episode actually), a proto-holoroom in Discovery, and holographic recreation room in TAS. Plus if you want to ignore all those examples, this is the mirror Enterprise, the terrans could have stolen the tech.

Exactly like humans? What planet are your humans from?

 

Okay, I wrote that halfway through the episode. I didn't realize they were *both* Breen, and the green Breen are racist against the human-like Breen. That's a little more interesting.

 

Human-like Breen????? Moll? I think she's human.

 

Okay.. the breen are.. a gas? A goo? That can take on a skin? Im confused ..

They consider there mask there true face.. ok.. who wver Breen moron that made that fashionable was an idiot..

Enterprise! Ok.. turned into random ship #38.. meh

Okay episode, didnt look at my phone the whole time so its got that going for it.

 

not all body liquid is blood. The breen must transport their oxygen around some other way.

Torpedos have matter and antimatter, otherwise you wouldn't get much of an explosion when hitting shields. So replace the matter with double antimatter here.

 

Or adapted it.

Holograms are not unheard of in the 23rd century.

 

The Breen looked kind of gelatinous to me. If they're covered with a membrane keeping the goo in, it might even explain why they need the suits - I can imagine puncture wounds would be much more serious for them as a trade-off for their bodies being more flexible overall and capable of absorbing a larger blunt force than ordinary humanoids.

 

Well, we know Kira in DS9 knew what they look like. She had to take a Breen uniform to get close to the Female Changeling's headquarters on Cardassia.

 

I didn't think those would have counted, since it seemed to be more a test than an actual timeline Georgiou went through.

Fair points, on both.


Lord Garth and UssGlenn, thank you both.

 

Except the Guardian talks about the impact Saru would have due to Gergiou's choice to save him.

 

Given the low quality of writing for the rest of this episode, the writers obviously forgot it was just a test.

 

Ah, yes. When in doubt, insult the writers.

I don't know why people keep watching if this is the reaction. I watch that episode more than any other Discovery one. Not sure why the writers get maligned.

 

The rest of this episode... Not the one with the Guardian of Forever in it.
