Random speculations thread!

In Vaulting Ambition, the emperor commands Lord Eling to retrieve the badge from Burnham when she states she has proof that she is from another universe. IMDB credits Jeremy Cittenden as playing Lord Eling, but to me, he looks more like Kenneth Mitchell, who plays Kol.

If that is Kenneth Mitchell, could he be playing a mirror version of Kol, part of the resistance, who's been transformed to look like a Terran, much the way Voq was transformed to look like Tyler?

Here he is on the right

If you have the ep recorded, you can get a good look at him around the 22 minute mark. And they way he is shot in that scene, it's as if it's a bit of a tease.

Anyone else think this is Kenneth Mitchell (Kol), or is it indeed Jeremy Crittenden, as credited?

Yeah, they definitely look a like. When I first thought it might be Mitchell, I looked up the credits and thought, "No, I was wrong. Crittenden looks like Mitchell".

But, when I went back to check my recording of Vaulting Ambition, I think Lord Eling looks more like Mitchell, but I'm not 100% sure.

If you can, take a look at the 22 minute mark, when there is a close up Lord Eling looking Burnham in the eye as he retrieves the badge.

I don't know if this is less of a spoiler but more of a general wish.

Discovery finally makes it out of the MU aaaand... straight into Kelvin Universe instead of pseudo-Prime Universe they were in before. They find a way to reset all universes (Prime, Kelvin, Mirror) back to "normal" but it means having to sacrifice themselves (I am thinking Admiral Holdo maneuver through a nearby star). After the universes/timelines are reset, STD universe is gone (along with any traces of existence of USS Discovery, mycelial network, mutineer Burnham, etc), Kelvin universe is gone, Mirror universe goes back to having Spock running around with a goatee and Prime goes back to having Kirk, Picard, Sisco (and I guess they can keep Archer and Janeway too) and Klingons can go back to having hair. I think it's a win-win-win-win situation for everyone involved.

But then we’d only get one season of DSC.
 
I'm waiting for the three-way mind meld between Sarek, Tyler/Voq and Mirror Voq that allows Tyler to bury the Voq personality for good. :eek:

No. Just...no.
