My reaction was tempered by one thing: I'd always wanted to see a tragic story, either a two-parter or cliffhanger that was caused by the crew or federation that led to some change in the world or galaxy. Some real consequences that was their actual fault. So initially, I was disappointed by the reveal but looking at it in the light a felt better about it.
Maybe also some points for not going with the obvious.

The strength of the episode was the surreal holoscape and revelation of the lone child, all those dramatic elements worked in the core of the story.

Other aspects of the episode were less enthralling. Kudos for the show for trying the first female antagonist lead in some time, but I don't think The Chain is working as a great adversary... Yet.

I'm still not a fan of Tilly as first officer, and certainly not one as captain. With shields down why weren't the crew ready for boarding?

Overall the stronger elements made for an entertaining story, but without a better resolution in the next 2 episodes, this is a case where the episode will feel weaker.

7.0/10

They should have shields that actually disintegrate transporter signals. Or rematerialize them as a congealed organic gas that can be processed by the bussard collectors.

Yeah Osyraa. Sure. Beam on over...
 
After a ship attacks the 1701-D; or an alien threatens Picard on the screen and Picard mutes the audio for a conference, she says something like: "I sense great anger/hostility..." (Yeah? No kidding lady...):lol:

Her other great line was (as an alien is screaming): "I sent great pain..."
Do you have any examples of this at all? I see people roll this sort of line out regularly about Troi saying 'I sense hostility' about an attacking ship but I can't think of any examples.

Wondering if you can?

TNG season 3 "Tin Man" when they encounter the Romulan ship that attacks them and heads off to the creature.
 
Doug Jones is the best thing about this episode hands down.
Best thing in the series, probably.
Obsession is another good one where Kirk isn't on his A game.

You know that's so out there, just so out there what if that happens?
ever read Harry Potter?

well, honestly I can’t remember a single time she was useful.
 
A 7 for me, because of some inconsistancies in the tech department and plot.

Why are photon torpedos still a thing in the 32nd century, although this issue was already introduced in "Scavengers", it still makes no sense and diminished this episode for me as well as the fact that Osirya's boarding party was able to easily beam aboard Discovery.

On the other side, i liked what we saw of the time, and the new starfleet uniforms from when Kaminar joined the Federation and that the Kelpiens and Baul apparently became friends and entered the UFP united.

I just hope the Baul managed to look less like someone who's been taking a bath in liquid tar.
 
Do you know what they should have? Smart bombs. I mean the really smart ones, the kind that can find it's target even if it's been hiding under a false name for years, the kind that can do detective work, disguise itself as something innocuous, and lie in wait for its target to come to it if necessary...

they had smart bombs in the 27th century: they kept making them smarter and smarter, eventually they became so smart they refused to blow up and went away to discuss philosophy.
