Well in the episode they say they can track it, and Burnham explains it to to the breen later on.
Because the narrative the writers are putting forward is that Burnham hasn't been screwing up.
Even though anyone with two eyes can see that's not true.
Burnham has screwed up.
Not sure why anyone would think elsewise, because that's not what's been presented.

I was thinking of Lorca. Turned him into a man suffering from PTSD to a cartoon baddie.
And being a cartoon baddie =unreasonable bigot?
'Cause, I'm still not following, regardless.
More or less the same thing. The idea being that you take some potential complexity in a character and erase it and replace it with a very simplistic character motive that ruins the characters ability to have depth.
I won't mince words here, when Lorca turned out to be a Mirror Universe refugee it was THE single most disappointing emotion I've ever felt about DSC and rivals the most disappointed I've felt in anything about modern streaming Trek. He was one of the most potentially layered, interesting characters in the modern history of the franchise and the MU twist just sapped most of that away.
I liked it.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
R.I.P. green boy.
I will give them props for showing 3d charts of the galaxy. However, there are enough visual clues, like the area in which Fesarius is located with marker buoys surrounding it, to see that they made a mistake when they located the Badlands closer to the galactic core and farther away from Cardassia and Bajor.
I was expecting a bigger throwdown in this episode. I didn't get that, but I did get to see more of the Breen,
. Though I was underwhelmed a bit, this was one of the seasons best episodes yet, and it was a lot more interesting than last week's. I liked a lot of the love DS9 is getting this season.
learn more about Moll and L'ak, as well as Rayner (and Reno for that matter)
I was hoping we would see some long-snout Breen, and until we see the primarch's rival, in my imagination she's a long-snout Breen. I wasn't expecting that Moll and L'ak were married, for a second I thought Moll would also say she's pregnant. I also wasn't expecting L'ak to die. I liked Burnham getting Rayner's insight, and even mentioning her own past. It was a nice bonding moment. What I don't get is that Vance is supposed to be Rayner's friend, and he should be more sympathetic to him. It was strange to me that he told Burnham to rein Rayner in when perhaps him being his old friend could've been more on his side, albeit with more decorum. I also think they should've just made T'Rina the Federation president this season to make things simpler since she's in a lot of the episodes already. I'm also missing Detmer, Owosekun, and Saru. I did like seeing Culber in action, and he put up a good fight for a minute against Moll. I also liked Stamets and Book working together, and how Stamets figured out how the Betazoid hid what they were looking for, and how Book got to use his empathy, and how it led to the Badlands.
A couple of people have.So is anyone else in Europe struggling to take the title of Primarch seriously from a phonetics point-of-view, or...?
Now I have context for that.

I can't wait to find out the ruler of the Talarians is referred to as the Samsclub.
Primarch has the best refrigeration suits! Special offer! Buy one for only two faces!
It's been mentioned but I had no idea why.So is anyone else in Europe struggling to take the title of Primarch seriously from a phonetics point-of-view, or...?
Learn something new everyday.
Had they kept the complex, nuanced characterization of the character from earlier in the season I wouldn't have one single problem with the Mirror universe reveal for Lorca. Someone from the MU who could learn to live, and even thrive, in the prime universe more or less by playing by it's rules? That's clever and intriguing. And seeing how that same character would have been changed by the prime universe when he goes home, and how the lessons in compassion and teamwork have altered his reactions and behaviors would have been fascinating.
Instead, they immediately ditch the prior characterization in favor of a Flanderized space barbarian with a fetish for Burnham and throw the character completely under the bus. I echo your disappointment, it's the single dumbest thing Disco's writers ever put to page.
Yep. Mirror Universe Lorca was a fizzle and dull to me. They took a glistening jewel in a flawed crown and proceeded to trade it in return for a chintzy Cracker Jack toy plastic bauble.
