Tilly needs to begin to evolve as a character at some point. The scene about how the doors work in the 23rd century was painful to watch.
Tilly consistently makes me laugh, both at and with her. She's adorbs.

Her "What just happened?!" after Georgiou was taunting Stamets and Culbert was one of the funniest lines and deliveries of the season.

And she has grown as a character. She's a lot less timid than she used to be. But still just as weird, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
 
Hah, Tilly... Red-head girl who has overweight, who is afraid of her authoritative mother, who has a good idea sometimes but can't clearly explain it... Wait! Looks like me in my teen-age :D

Absolutely, she's my favourite character I'd say.

I'm getting really tired of watching this debate.

The name is the same, but the real concept is completely NOT in line with DSC's usage. Sorry. It basically just means a crystal whose structure is constantly changing and can never reach thermal equilibrium in the classical sense. Cool, cutting edge, materials science concept that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the Trek version. At. All.

Wouldn't be the first time Star Trek has made up fictional substance for time travel.
 
We don't know how the time crystal works in relation to the Daedalus suit or Mudd's contraption. It could be that a stable time crystal is used as a mechanism to contain or control the exotic materials that actually propel the individual through time.

It’s also not the first time they’ve come up with a painfully bad idea either. Precedent is not the same as excuse.

The point is that if it’s that easy to create a time traveling suit, (that Starfleet could build one pre-Cage Era), they wouldn’t have needed to do things like slingshot around stars or marvel at the Guardian of Forever. The Temporal Prime Directive and future Time Cops would be established immediately, and every race from the Klingons to the Romulans to the Miradorn to the Viddians to the Andromedans to you name it would be gathering Infinity Gems for total living chaos.

They never say the suit was destroyed by the Klingons, they say it vanished over 20 years ago. Obviously the reason it vanished is because mama Burnham put it on and escaped into the future.

The thing I don't get is why they thought Burnham's parents were dead. I mean, I know Michael was hiding in a closet and couldn't see. But wouldn't they be suspicious if no bodies were found? Or did they just presume the Klingon disruptors were on "vaporize?"

I could have sworn it was said that the Klingons had found and destroyed the suit. I guess I was wrong.

Lorca as the Red Angel would have been awesome.

I wasn't suggesting that it was Lorca in the suit. I was referencing the reveal of Lorca being from the Mirror Universe from season 1, and how a lot of people seemed to have figured it out beforehand.
