Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 5x05 - "Mirrors"

details on the "Jelly Breens"

 

I think they might have had an evolutionary path beyond being a "solid" (maybe why the Founder's liked them more than the Cardies) and there was a stigma to presenting as solid?

Loved the episode, Moll and L'ak as anti-heroes/villains with a heart of gold is doing it for me

Rayner one the bridge offering a barrel of his people's drink of choice and going round the crew felt very Pike

Negative - Stamets knowing it was ISS Enterprise doesn't stack up for me (unless from his perspective the hull markings were clearer on the viewscreen than in the shot but I think he should have just called it the Enterprise then realised

 

Callback to his multiple jumps and gaining knowledge on the Mirror Universe.

 

And then they try to reverse the mileage and wreck it.

 

Turns out the Mirror Universe M 5 unit gets activated and recreates mind controled clones of the TOS crew who are programmed to hunt down and kill Owosekun and Detmer. Together they got to kill each TOS clone character and destroy the M 5 unit. Especially knowing that some rogue Klingons are on the way and they want to destroy the ship. Thus they need to get control of the ship before the Klingons arrive.

 

Now that would be fun! I hope so!

 

Makes you wonder, if their Gelatinous / Haribo Gummy "state" are only "Liquid" when cold or in their environment suit, does that mean their planet is naturally colder, or is there something in the air that allows them to be Gelatinous?

Also, do they come in different flavors / colors?

 

How would he know specifically that it was the mirror Ent though? Maybe I missed something such as them making clear it was a halfway pocket between those specific universes?

I think for sure he should know of the ship, probably in some detail, but the hiding of it wouldn't be right?

Also - and correct me if I am wrong - but are the hull markings sufficiently obvious to make the assumption?

My conclusion is he must have seen the ships saucer markings because otherwise it could just be A N Other Connie, right?

 

This'll be interesting.

 

Yeah, nothing I can come up makes any sense. Must his tardigrade-senses.

 

So the Breen are gelatinous like some deep sea fish but can hold a solid form for protection, that they ceased to need to use after they developed their refrigeration suits.

 

My guess is that when Spock rose to power, he abolished the position of Emperor and created the post of Chancellor.

 

Yeah.. the jelly breens concept still doesnt make sense.. piss poor writing..

So there suits protect them? Ok. Why does Lok have a solid skin. WILL POWER! Ugh.. shit writing..

 

*sharpens pitch forks and lights torches.*

 

At least pay attention before you pop off. All breens can go solid but it takes energy and concentration. The suits protect them and allows them think without distraction. imagine doing math homework while having poison ivy. It has become taboo in breen society to show your hardened face.

 

It doesn't make any sense, but so much of Trek doesn't make any sense.

 

I am paying attention.. if you need somebody to come in afterwards to explain what is happening in that episode.. its crap writing.

 

I prefer Tardigrade-senses

Tardigrade Man Tardigrade Man
Does what ever a tardigrade can
Jumps through time
Jumps through space
Tardigrade man can jump anyplace
Guesses universes at a glance
Doesn't have to leave it to chance
Hey there, there goes the Tardigrade Man

 

Spock turned the Empire into a democracy
