I don't know how much it's been mentioned in this thread, but does anyone else feel a little annoyed that Tilly hasn't seemed to really progress or mature much over the three seasons?
I mean, characters should have this progression over time, where there is a certain knowledge and maturity as experience with situations occurs.
I know she's been doing things like proposing the looking into dark matter as an alternative for the Spore Drive, but in her maturity level, I don't see much progression.

I'm gonna say it: There's a spark missing thus far from season 3 which 1 and 2 had.
I think I know what you're talking about. It's the rocky way that S1 and S2 were written that gave it that quality. Behind chaos, you get crazy inspiration and epiphanies. S3 is more structured on-screen and less chaotic behind-the-scenes. It shows in the writing.
DSC's development really is taking after TNG's.
I was thinking that, as well, in that DSC is having that same feel and flow that TNG had, in that by the third season came, there was this hitting of a stride that started the show moving more in a "cruise control" feel in some aspects.
This is a great observation. I also feel like there's a spark missing, although I don't know if it's a bad thing--just different? Definitely a shift from productively eccentric and off-kilter energy to something more measured, regular, and assured. Very S1/S2 TNG to S3 TNG, as you suggest.
That was my thought, too. He was fascinated by the thought that Georgiou was sticking around and empathizing because of a connection with one individual (not that he shouldn't be able to figure out who via the other debriefs), and then "Georgiou" seems to click on and follow Michael on the Discovery when Michael proves that she's "the One" in their conversation.
*ECH
Perhaps he'll be in a large conference room with other Starfleet captains annoyed that the downtimers are undermining his 800-year Captaincy.
ECH! I like that.
I've been thinking the show has gotten better at making an episode stand alone while still being part of a larger arc. Personally, I think this season is an improvement over season 2, which I thought was a bit reactionary towards perceived fan backlash on season one. One thing I'd like is to be able to revisit individual episodes of Disco and Picard without feeling the need to watch the entire season arc. Thus far, I think season 3 has definitely made strides in that direction - I can imagine in a few years popping on "People of Earth" or "Forget Me Not", more so than watching individual season 1 or 2 episodes.
I wonder if the backup EMH ever made it to the Federation.
He was activated in 3074, which is 5 years after the Burn, but the episode doesn't indicate what year he left to find the Federation, only that it was some time after the events depicted in the holoprogram.
He got held up in customs
Or what he disclosed to the smug former genocidal tyrant, her tiny, tiny place in the vast, vast uncaring Multiverse and timeline, put things into perspective and deflated her ego.
Eh, I get the impression DSCO was suffering from acute TNG Season 1-itus, not finding its voice yet and throwing lots of things at the wall (and through S2/3 its writing and tone matured, with cast getting more comfortable in their roles).

Same. It was nice when she was bunking with Burnham, because we got to see more of her backstory. But since about mid-S2 her character has been generally frozen in place. I'm wondering how she'll cope in the future-now. It seems like she hasn't really started to process it. That might end up being a wild ride for her.
I think it's going to take Tilly quite some time to get over the fact that her mom is gone.
Their 'Love/Hate' relationship was a very big part of Tilly's life.
That's not going to be an easy thing for her to get past.

Didn't she know that back in season 2, already?
Hopefully it is explored more. Just that deep emotional struggle would be nice to see.
Know what? That she'll jump 1000 years into the future and therefor everyone she knew has died?
Clearly she should get over it.
