Why would any tardigrades come within a thousand lightyears of a starship after what the last one told them what happened?
Well Ripper came onto the Glenn because of its all you can eat spore buffet. Guaranteed there is another fatty tardigrade out there who loves a free lunch.

They would be hunting for one. If not they would find another way. Their tech is supposed to be more advanced.
As Spock himself stated, as he checked himself into the facility on his own accord, he didn't need permission from anyone to leave.

"the seating and serving took what seemed like DAYS but let me tell you something friend, when they served Landry Tar-Tar it was soo worth it. You really should look for one of those crossfield things"
I expected a drawn out set up to the meat of a two-parter, I got an excellent episode. One of Discovery's best.

Discovery 02x13 thoughts & things noticed
- Tilly's snow globe
- excellent score as always, TOS movie notes
- 2 person auto-destruct
- TOS Enterprise turbolift handle controls
- Enterprise bridge looks great, TOS references in design
- Burnham time-trippin'
- Burnham stops Pike on bridge, reference to beginning of Discovery when she tried to stop original Georgiou
- talking about time traveling to future before title card, unexpected
- alcohol in Pike's ready room
- Number One is so welcome an addition
- Pike is different, knows his fate
- "the ship would hit the fan"
- So glad Culber is back on this show again
- LOVE that the 'Short Treks' matter to this season
- Poe is awesome
- Humor, properly placed, so welcome in Trek
- Mirror Georgiou has grown on me, I can get behind a her-led Section 31 show now
- Really surprised we're talking about Micheal in the future so early in the episode
- "...Michael must remain in the future, permanently". I wonder if this is the direction the show was always gonna go from the start
- "Trust the mystery" <3
- LOVE Reno, great addition to the show
- More BSG musical tones around Sarek's arrival
- LOVE that this season is about strong women owning it, kicking ass & getting it done. The way Trek and everything else should always have been.
- there's a completion in this episode, coming full circle from the pilot two parter
- Ash stays in the present for the Section 31 show, Culber too
- Nahn stays! <3
- Captain Saru? Captain Burnham?

What equipment are you running? I hear lots of complaints about the Firestick. I travel A LOT and have never had an issue--even running with a VPN. Have you done a speed test on your connection?Just like last week, I am trying to watch the episode, but having constant buffering issues and really low resolution. It'll probably be fifteen minutes into the episode before it acts normally. Seriously, this happens waaay more with CBSAA than any other streaming service I use, even the free ones!

Why didn't they just spore jump the ship to another galaxy?
Stamets still needs co-ordinates or to know where the ship needs to jump to. Just picking a random spot in say, the Andromeda Galaxy is likely to have the journey end with Discovery jumping into a star
Woodstock.
I've... got mixed feelings about where the show's going. I'm weird, I do not want Discovery to jump into the 28th century; I like it just where it is. Burnahm and Spock's relationship is something I'd like to see continue into and beyond his tenure in TOS, for example. I'd like Tilly to get her captaincy and rub shoulders with Kirk and co on another Constitution. I'd like more run-ins with TOS people and places. It's a nice segway into remembering Star Trek at the beginning, before TNG made us try so hard to forget it.
I don't want to "appease canon" when the show's done so much to make us love a new crew in this time and place.
Of the episode itself it felt like a lot of padding. About the only things we learned in the episode are; Discovery Can't be Destroyed, and They Can reconstruct the suit. There are a lot of emotional moments in there but... that's it. And unless the crew do say goodbye to the 23rd century setting after all it's a lot of buildup for ultimately nothing.
Also... the vision Reno and Burnham both see is still on-target to happening. Saru is in the Captain's seat, and during the battle the Enterprise could take a probe to the saucer. On that note, now that Burnahm has seen her future is she bound to it? Or is she bound to it only if she uses it? Could it be avoided by not doing the thing...?
Whatever this means I hope we still get to see more of Pike's ship and crew. That bridge was spectacular, if a bit dark. I can see a bunch of changes (beyond styling) even for the bridge but that is a set I'd love to see more of on a weekly basis.

They repeatedly mention the undetonated torpedo in Enterprise's hull in the future visions.
Calling it now. That torpedo will be the catalyst to get Spock off Discovery in a last ditch effort to disarm or "perform surgery" on it..

I can see it now: Spock goes to disarm the torpedo out of nowhere Dr. McCoy appears. Did McCoy come in on a shuttle? Maybe he was in a Enterprise broom closet the whole time. Who knows. 'Doctor', Spock begins 'Would you care to assist me in performing surgery on a torpedo?' 'Fascinating' replies McCoy, with a coy smile (or a McCoy smile?).
Plus you’d have to deal with the Kelvans going there.
I would love for some chief engineer to come forward and just say they can scram the engine manually and shut the whole ship down anytime. 'Sir, we in the engineering section love you but you deckies really don't do anything. It's us that make the orders happen. As engineers, we spend a lot of time planning for things to go catastrophically bad- because, sooner or later the machinery will wear out unexpectedly, and we come up with fixes to prevent that because you guys topside keep coming up with these, frankly, lunatic ideas that we have to keep from killing everyone. Control is just a machine that needs power. This quite manual lever here? 'Choom' Engines off and Control or that silly Databaseis a great big pile of plastic waiting to be turned into a toaster, sir.'
The odds of a randomly chosen starship sized point in a galaxy being inside a star are very very low. It would certainly be less risky than the plan they are actually going with!
I wouldn't put it past control to develop its own spore drive though, the research must be somewhere.
That's a Krenim torpedo!
