    Maybe Burnham went back in time and had sex with her father when he was younger. So Burnham and her mother are the same person.

    I'm sure they'll reveal this next week. Ultimately, it was misdirection taking advantage of what they knew would be overactive fan speculation.


    I love it.

    Why did they delete Airiam's memories? Did I miss something? Sure, they want to purge Control's malware, but it just seems they could have downloaded them on a stick and placed it in a memorial.

    It seems wrong to me.

    I don't like to do halves but I give it an 8.5. Most of the episode was a 7, but the beginning and end pack a punch. Burnham packs a couple of punches in the middle too. Literally. 10-level material in a 7 episode. The only answer is to split the difference.

    Didn't see the twist at the end coming. I think I can very safely say no one saw that coming. I'm glad the arrogant don't have something they can congratulate themselves with.

    Eye for an eye.

    Georgiou must be disappointed. She didn't get to be the one to have anything to do with it.

    I don't know what to make of Georgeau. She definitely has a weird protective attitude toward Burnham. I kind of like where this is going.

    Old habits die hard. She still sees her surrogate daughter even if it's not the Burnham of her universe. I'm sure it goes the other way around too.

    They’re really stretching out her death. She had like a total of 5 minutes screen time in the show.

    Section 31 didn’t create Control. Control is Section 31.

    Can someone explain how the colony of New Eden fits into the angel appearing only when Burnham is in mortal danger? As far as both we and the other characters know, she wasn't present during WWII...

    Crazy episode.

    Thumbs up for Saru singing. Reminded me of Eowyn siging in LOTR



    Red angel is not Michael was a nice surprise.

    Not sure what killed Lealand.

    Kinda lukewarm about Michael and Ash.

    Like the gay chat among Georgio. Pan sexual... Lmao.

    SMG had a lot of acting to do. Some good, like dying in the chair, almost like Exorcist. Some not so good like intimate moments with Ash.

    Airiam 1 replaced Airiam 2 on the bridge, lmao!

    Not as good as If Memory Serves, but that is the new benchmark for Disco.

    The Red Angel's identity was ultimately someone who can deepen the character drama of the show, contrary to claims that all Discovery cares about is action. I find that very satisfying.

    It will also be interesting to see how the Discovery-hating YouTubers' livestreams go around the 10-minute mark when the show trolls them hard.

    I'd love to see some whacky sci if twist that says something like the quantum resonance unique to the Mirror Universe affects humans over time and makes them have all the negative traits you see there and, once removed from that setting, you start to be influenced by THIS universe's quantum resonance and lose those traits.

    I'd love to see Georgeau start to gravitate back to the original character, with a little vampy mischief still intact.
