10/10 Time crystals on this one.
Seriously fun episode, great comic timing from the cast and Rainn Wilson owns Mudd.

Sadly, yes. Poor Anthony. I'm glad he was finally able to openly state what happened after 31 years of keeping it in. It crushed my image of Kevin Spacey, but I'd rather the truth be out than me being able to maintain illusions about someone.
10 from 10 for me also! 
Loved it!!!

Don't give me shit about souls, and soul transference.
A digital model of Voqs conciousness is created, that can be mapped on to anyone.
The real (first) Voq is probably fine.
Unless they had to cut his brain into quarters to make the make the digital model, as long as they don't lose the master copy, they can print Voq onto as many Human prisoners as necessary.

Another fun episode and some solid character development for Burnham (finally). Stamets is going to get weirder and weirder as the series goes on 
and I have to admit I'm really liking it.
I'm also really liking Tyler too. I'll be interested to see how the Burnham / Tyler thing plays out in the future.
Rainn Wilson is completely nailing Mudd thus far. When I fist saw he was cast, I didn't think he'd pull it off, but I've been pleasantly surprised.
Quote of the night goes to Capt. Lorca: "Is the fish safely onboard?"

I was half expecting him to add "send it to the kitchen".
The preview of next week's episode on After Trek has me excited. An away mission to an alien planet and weird, glowy non-corporeal aliens, Saru trying to communicate with them. Looks classic trek.
Isn't it more likely that the real Ash Tyler's personality and memories have been imprinted into an augmented/surgically altered Voq? Seems to me that covers all the worries about language learning, Starfleet knowledge, human sensibilities etc. He doesn't know he's Voq yet. He might be like Talia Winters from Babylon 5, someone currently unaware of his more sinister mission. Plus it makes sense in terms of the behind the scenes shenanigans. The actor Shazad Latif is playing both characters, so they had to create a fake actor/profile for Voq to not give the game away.
I loved everything about the episode except the resolution to the loop. They seriously just needed to figure out how to shut off the device, not call up some TOS characters out of nowhere. I love the character development. The party was fresh and interesting. It's more realistic to me than the idea that they've all gone to exclusively listening to classical and jazz by the TNG era.
Ash is not Voq. Could not be less interested in the canon/not canon talk cluttering up this thread.

Nah,it’s an upside down shenzhou
I don’t think they were being serious
First Contact always happened the way it did in the movie, it didn’t change anything.
It was a predestination paradox or whatever. Seven of Nine says this in an episode.
He doesn’t know he’s Voq
You people need to stop arguing with Marsh.
5. he was tortured for quite some time -> his first stop on discovery is sickbay - remember bones needed just a med tricoder to expose darvin as a klingon
Since trouble with tribbles takes place over 10 years later, they could have adapted the tricorders to detect the Klingon agents better.
Plus are you telling me Arne Darvin went that long without a medical scan?
Arne also wasn’t a sleeper agent, he wasn’t deep undercover. Voq could be more heavily altered then Arne.
I give this episode an 8. A solid time travel story with funny character moments sprinkled throughout. (As an aside, even though I like The Orville to an extent, the humor in this episode worked better than anything in The Orville so far.)
I liked the twist of following Burnham throughout the story rather than Stamets who remembered each loop.

Wouldn’t have worked, they’d all be as loopy as Stamets
6. After all that sex with L'Rell, he is in love with her, and will do anything to make her happy.
What does one have to do with the other? Their attraction to each other is not the central defining element of her character.
