NahIt was way too heavy handed.
It wouldn't bother me as long as it was a good story.
Just curious......
Pike's wink when he said "what mirror universe?"
I can't remember.... Did Michael or anyone else fill him in, or did he already know about the mirror universe through a Starfleet briefing or something. I can't recall if someone from Disco's crew told him....

Generally I am of the mind that it's not so much what they do but how they do it in terms of storyline. If it's done well then all is forgiven. If done shabbily then it won't be.
I will say, that having the penultimate episode of the season be so maudlin is more than a little disheartening. I pray they don't try and squeeze a cliffhanger out of this as that would be disappointing.
We just got a vague statement in the first episode where Pike stated that he knew all about the previous Captain, and the breach in trust. I guess Pike was informed about all of the details.
Maybe she's color blind?
It means he learned about it sometime between his briefing on Lorca and that moment. What I ESPECIALLY enjoyed is that we did NOT have to endure a lengthy scene of exposition where Pike learns of it. His comment is all that was necessary.
But there was no hint of "my Georgiou" when Pike talked about knowing her from the Academy.
Y'know, even a scene where Burnham says to Pike "there's something you need to know about 'Captain' Georgiou", then fade to the next scene would've been good for me.
And that's exactly the kind of thing I am very happy they did NOT do. There are 8760 hours in a year. Plenty of time for almost all the "hey...how come he/she/it knows that...we didn't see the moment when he/she/it learned of x,y,z... to occur offscreen.
That's a recipe for bad storytelling.
I think we got that when Georgiou first appeared and Pike commented that she seemed a lot different from her academy days, he brought that fact up to , Burham and she replied, "That's a longer conversation..." But also did promise to tell him at some point, which I assume happened because he did respond to her at that time with "Okay but don't make me come looking for you about the information."
Bottom line I think Burnham told him at some point offscreen; and as for mirror Georgiou referring to the mirror universe; I would guess she got that info from the library computer of the USS Defiant who's the records she must have read a number of times.
The original "Enterprise Red" was a color from a discontinued Dunn Edwards palette, called "Macao Orange."

It's a very saturated red orange, and can sometimes be seen as orange in stills from TOS. Under studio lights it usually read on film as...well, red.

Actually now that you mention it, I remember a "what are you not telling me Burnham" line from Pike, where she responds that it would be a conversation for another time.
I'd forgotten about that line too, so I suppose we could take that as an indicator of an unseen conversation. That's about the length (5 seconds?) I would've given to a later line from Burnham, so clearly not a big sacrifice of time.
are impressive. I want a Captain Pike series!
