The whole push for mirror universe episodes happened way too early in the shows timeline IMHO. The focus on the MU concept and the neato factor rather than the characters and their interactions and relationships with others, I think, is a mistake. A mirror universe would have served the franchise better if introduced in the second or third season, after the characters and relationships have been established / explored.

On a different topic, personal remarks about actresses' looks (or actors, for that matter) are not going to become a trend here. This is to discuss a TV show, not the dermatology of its cast members. Please all take note.
Wow! What a great episode! The tension was so high in sickbay between Tyler and Dr. Culber I'd completely forgotten it was directed by Jonathan Frakes! I guess that goes to show just how hamstrung production staff were in the Berman era.
Captain Killy was just adorable. "Hey! What the h- what the h- what the HECK? HOLD YOUR HORSES!" "Let's not keep these assholes waiting!"
Also wasn't expecting the Tyler reveal to happen this episode. I figured they'd stretch it out a few more episodes.
So, when are we going to discover that Captain Lorca is actually Mirror Lorca? Would make sense given his unorthodox (to the Federation) approach to war, and his penchant for sleeping with a phaser under his pillow

If she's filmed on a casting couch she'll give him double vision.
Thank you..........I can't take anyone seriously if they start using those terms within the first 10 posts or so. Or ever really..........Plus I find it amusing you post several sleazy things and then ask not to be painted as "some kind of sleaze".
Yeah, I get that, but fundamentally, the Mirror Universe is supposed to be horrifying to us (or maybe campy, depending upon your pleasure). Either way, just hewing to modern social norms in this one particular area seems a bit odd. Though of course if all the hatred of "other" is poured into aliens, it makes sense that human differences are given less import.
"SJW" usually means the person using that acronym has no argument. And if they do it's probably easy to reject out of hand.
Regarding the apparent equality of genders and races in the Mirror Universe, my impression of the MU is that within the Empire, violence and power are the supreme judge, not variations of gender or race among humans. If you can fight and kill your way to the top, that's what matters. Their bigotry and domination seems more focused on non-humans.
Great episode! I really love how this show is turning out...
Tilly is now my favourite character, don't kill her off!!!

But, Discovery IS canon, and it has shown us that the women do not wear short skirts. So, what's the problem?
Exactly. It is because it is.

I got an Xbox One as a Christmas gift a few years ago, and while I appreciate it (as I do all of my gifts), it turns out all of the games I like to play? PS4.
they mostly vanished by BeyondYet the Kelvin timeline of the same decade has TOS-style miniskirts. Go figure.
I think most of the background women wore pants
As much as I like Mirror episodes the concept of a Terran empire is laughable, yeah humans subjugate stronger, more advanced than ourselves Andorians, Klingons, Vulcans and telepathic Betazoids in the 22nd century. They must have drugged them with heroin or something. A mirror universe controlled by feral Vulcans makes more sense.
If they find the time to explain how humanity did it, that would interest me but I bet they won't.
Burnham - how did they manage to subjugate so many species in so short a time?
Mirror Sarek (a secret rebel who helps them home) - We were bombarded with music over subspace from an ancient Terran musical composer, I believe his name was Mozart. The human on the ISS Cochrane promised to stop once they had our complete surrender. It was a very effective method.

Yeah, Game of Thrones never recovered from killing off Ned Stark.
It's the inevitable result of legalized marijuana.
