Its like a train wreck. You just cant stop watching it. The only torture is to the actors and directors.

I love that they were fucked with. At first, they'll think, "See? I knew it!" Then at the end, the rug is pulled out from under them.
I am sure many of them were hoping that Burham would actually die and were cheering during the death scene, never mind she is the star of the show and that was never going to happen..
Probably control
The events might not be linear. Michael will tell her mother and she’ll go back and save them.
Kind of like reading your posts.
When I don't like a TV Show, I stop watching it. I know it's crazy. But hey that's just me.
You do you, pal
A clever way to bring back the original Airiam!
Calling it now. Mama Burnham alters history so Michael and spock never become siblings handling the spock never mentioned her plot hole.
There's definitely more to it than just showing up to save Burnham. The signals were patterns, often times initiating seemingly unrelated rescue type missions.
I think the linkages are still part of the mystery
So, it looks like I was right in my prediction of the identity of the Red Angel a few weeks back. The red herring at the beginning of this episode did - like many - throw me off. But once the scene with Leland describing how Michael's parents built the suit happened - and the suit "vanished" over 20 years ago - my spidey-sense started tingling again. So the final reveal here didn't surprise me at all.
As for the episode itself...I rated it a 8. First half would be a six, second half 10 though. I just felt like the beginning of the episode was chock full of expository shit and discussions which didn't fully work (Ash's hallfhearted defense of Section 31, Burnham's rage at Leland about what - while tragic - was just a mistake, etc). Somewhere around the halfway point though the emotional beats started hitting for me, and I was engrossed.
This was also - by far - the best performance SMG has had the entire season in terms of range. Anyone who thinks she's a wooden actor after this is cray-cray.

I'd like an consultant producer or writing credit, for initiating the set up.
Is this another anti-Burnham will fulfillment scenario? But it sounds like Mama Burnham won't be time travelling any more.
Fair. Consider it granted.
Looking back to "New Eden", it must be asked: what brings Burnham's mother to WWIII Earth?
Did we see the Red Angel in that episode? or just the red burst signal?
