Mirror Captain Tilly is going to have an exposed midrift.

(Honestly, they all will, but I wanted to see if I could make you dislike Tilly more than you already do.)

You know how Mutley's tail spins like a propeller and keeps him aloft?

Like that, but from the front?

And still Tilly is so not worthy of the subject matter. I'm dreading her faux Captain role in the mirror universe. It will be a jump the shark moment.
 
Yes. In the novel it's from the training manual for new Holograms trying to get a handle on being dead and mostly not real. Season 12 of red dwarf is airing right now, first run. The cast is smegging old, compared to below in 1988. :)

I'm quite glad she's not, to be honest. I find Vulcans 'played straight' somewhat annoying/uninteresting, and prefer it when there is an edge to them like Spock's human half, or Sarek's illness in TNG. Human emotion is a big part of connecting with a character and all to often Vulcans are played (incorrectly in my view but never mind) as being blank slates, or as arrogant jackasses.

I interpreted it as future Captain, rather than mirror Captain. I think the former is quite reasonable, they've certainly signposted it enough.

I (me,my opinion), would like it more if the writers had made the character in more control of her feelings.

I kind of like that that's what Burnham would probably prefer, but it's not quite working out that way for her. Any emotional control she may have been able to maintain while serving on the Shenzhou probably began to unravel once she came aboard the comparatively chaotic Discovery.

What's mirror for "fucking cool"? :brickwall:

Maybe "frakking cool." :)

I wondered about that as well. But Trek has shown that centuries from now, human kids will already be learning calculus around age eleven or twelve (I went all the way through university without learning any!). So the potential could be there.

Let just's say Colonel Green's evil actions led to unintended positive consequences; ultra clever , long lived humans but with a better moral center compared to us.
