My theory on Ash Tyler

[Mudd]

Although to get anywhere as a Klingon requires politicking, which means that they have to pretend that it's a thousand years ago still, or they lose their jobs.

Maybe climate change will wipe them all out.

I think Ash is a Klingon agent and will be uncovered by Lorca’s tribble....

 

[ITDUDE]

My latest theory is that Ash Tyler is Ash Williams!

The Tribble has conveniently disappeared from Lorca's desk.

It's also possible the spore drive is a passage to the mirror universe.

If Lorca is Voq it totally cuts the emotional weight out of all of these scenes with him and the admiral.

My latest theory is that Ash Tyler is Ash Williams!

Nope, Tyler doesn't have the Williams Chin.

Fistfull of Boomstick showed us that no matter what time period, there were are full chinned, no brained, gun toting idiots.

I mean, as much as I want to see a lot of the crew pulled apart by Kandarians...

One thing I did notice this week is that there was not one reference to Lorca's eyes this week. Every episode since Lorca's first appearance brings attention to his sensitivity to light but this week, nothing.

There was a reference to his eyes. Ash makes a joke about it in the battle simulation.

Damn your right!

Well it was missing before he was returned to the ship.

Trying to give the producers a lot of credit, I like the idea that the use of Latif's name for the non-existent actor supposed to be playing Voq is misdirection and that the Klingon has been transformed into Lorca. That would be clever, if very implausible. But what the fuck, this is Star Trek.

Of course, one has to explain the inconsistencies of Tyler's claims about his captivity. Maybe he's hiding something else.

I've overestimated them a few times now, unless its a Double Misdirection!!! Like, they make it too obvious, so that we put it past them, and start anticipating differently, and then it turns out Ashlee is just Voq.

"You fight like a Klingon" I think Lorca said that twice this episode, once to Ash-tray, and once to the admiral.

Ash is also a liar. He can't stop lying.
I hope he's not a Klingon, but the writers may just think they're being clever, or maybe they know it's obvious, but don't want to confuse the vulgar masses watching their show.
