Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x10 - "The Red Angel"

[rahullak]

The reasons for the signals appearing where they do are still a mystery. I hope that's resolved next episode.

Section 31 using Mirror universe computers? It has a male voice

That began to mimic Leland just before the eye thing and responded to Ash that he had the power needed to close the rift. Leland was on the floor and out of action

 

[willg]

Wait, is the consensus that Leland is dead? I took it that he was infected and would be reanimated by Control. Something about the effect they did on his eyeball. Or did I misread that?

I kind of hope that's the end of him, as having another double agent after Airiam might be a bit much for me.

Who was the voice that told Ash he had the power or whatever?

 

[eschaton]

Parts of the episode were a "6/7" but other parts were an "8/9," particularly the performances, the Spock/Burnham discussion, everything with Michelle Yeoh, and the last 10 mins.

It was a bit of a schizo experience as a result.

But, ultimately, the characters and performances, coupled with a satisfying reveal, push this to an 8. Pretty damn fun. Makes me want next week to be right now.

Yeah, that's where I was. There were so many meh parts of the episode (Ash/Michael, Saru/Leland, the Red Angel infodump near the start of the episode) and so many fantastic parts (Spock/Burnham, Culber/Cornwell, everything in the last 10 minutes, etc). But it did all average out in the end.

I do not share the love for this episode. Halfway through, I pushed the fast forward to see the ending.

What did happen to Leland at the end?

I assume Control killed him or took him over. In the novel version, Control is in all Federation tech so I imagine it’s something similar here.

I thought Burnham's mom looked a little Asian. Looking it up, the actress playing her, Sonja Sohn, is half Korean.

At first glance, I thought it was Georgiou...Prime.

 

[bookworm8571]

I had decided the Red Angel couldn’t be Michael early on. How could she trap herself when future Michael would already have known about the plan and the conversation because she was there for it? Michael’s mother has an obvious reason for doing anything and everything to save her child. She’s saving the universe and warning everyone in the process of saving Michael — therefore, Michael’s Mom was the Red Angel. There’s a nice parallel there with the moment Michael died and Sarek gave up a piece of his katra to save her.

I did think some of the scenes were rushed. Mirror Georgiou is not entirely convincing in her feelings for Michael. Didn’t she used to be a monster? I did like Spock’s scenes with Michael and Michael and Ash Tyler.

It's funny how the time crystal powering the suit ends up with Picard...

You don't believe me?

[Nerys Myk]

I gave it an 8. A lot of good parts and the reveal was unexpected. For a half second I though it was SMG in "old age" make up.

Awesome episode; 9/10. Pretty sure Wilson Cruz just got dressed at home, then walked on set and did his scenes.

Didn’t she used to be a monster?

She still is.
But even monsters can care about people and things.

 

[thribs]

They had to bring back the Orcs for the next episode. We were doing so well.

1. They're not Orcs, so don't call them that.
2. It appears to be a flash back to the attack on the science station that killed (well we had assumed) Michael's mother.

 

[Ovation]

I guess I can't blame her. If I could time travel, I'd go back to The War of 1812 to see what Napoleon was up to.

Need a powerful telescope to look from Niagara Falls to the French invasion of Russia.
(Sorry. I’m an historian. Occupational hazard.)

 

[The Librarian]

I really loved the lighting on the ready room and Cornwell's quarters this episode.

 

[DEWLine]

Looking back to "New Eden", it must be asked: what brings Burnham's mother to WWIII Earth?

Good question. Very good question.
