I want a full-blown tie-in novel on that shush dude. Like. Straight up. Sh'ushka, Master of Whispers. I'd be willing to write it myself if I had to.

Maybe find someone else to do the art though. This is my best.
 
Am I missing something, or is it not obvious to the SF people that T'Kuvma intended to aggress the Federation, regardless of what Burnham did?

Yeah, he was setting that up from the start.

It really didn't matter what Burnham did, T'Kuvma was out for war right from the beginning and he was going to have that war no matter what.

The only thing Burnham did wrong was letting her anger control her and killing T'Kuvma.
 
...I sort of doubt Lorca's narration is supposed to be in synch with the images/places we saw. That is, the Obelisk isn't necessarily anywhere near Andoria or Romulus.

In a universe where holograms of all sorts are commonplace and immersive ones are used for recreation, I don't see why Burnham should be convinced about the spores being a means of travel just because she saw this light show. But then again, we don't have to assume she was.

Burnham also landed on the Klingon artifact, which caused her to have to fight the torchbearer. She did nothing right that day. She was only supposed to do a flyby.

If she'd flown by and returned, things could have been different. Captain Georgiou could have used the intel to decide to return with reinforcements. Yes the war probably would have occurred anyway, but Burnham would have born no guilt, and its possible Starfleet could have won the battle and stopped the war before it had a chance to continue.
 
I haven't seen anyone mention this, but I just realized that Lorca actually killed the shuttle pilot just to get Burnham on board "mysteriously." He could've just had her transferred to his ship. She said she was transferred for no reason, then the shuttle changed coarse. Surely not all visits to the Discovery have to happen this way.

If Lorca has to travel to say...earth for "Brass meet," to then get back to his ship, does he have to switch cars 7 times like Joe Pesci in Casino?

When he later admits to being the puppet master, she should have said "Good job killing that pilot, jerk@$$!"

I'm just throwing that in with any of the gratuitous things that happened in the first scenes, like the security officer's pettiness and the brawl in the mess.
 
Im not sure if Lorca killed the shuttle pilot.

I just think that was horrible timing. Im not sure why they didn't just stop the shuttle to do the repairs, nor am I sure what only one pilot was transferring 4 prisoners..... alone......
