Spoilers Season 5 Episode Preview Thread

I really like how this season, dialogue that would seem kind of throwaway or easter-eggy is actually being used to foreshadow future plot points. The Breen have been getting named dropped in passing and it turns out they're now being set up as the main adversaries for the Federation in the 32nd century. Rhys and Rayner keep talking about how hot the 23rd century constitution class is and we all know what we saw in that 'this season on' trailer. I think not only will we see the Mirror Enterprise but that Starfleet will keep it, give it a refit and it will become the Enterprise of the 32nd century.
Speaking of Rhys and Rayner, I think we got the ground work for a developing relationship between the two. I don't mean romantic (although that would be fine
) but maybe one of mentor/mentee or Captain and First officer at the end of the season.

I'm thinking not the Enterprise but the Defiant, from TOS. They're in interspace, or spatial interphase. I know that the Defiant made it into the Mirror Universe. But still, I've got a feeling that's where this is going.
My thinking is that in the mirror universe, the Tholians did the same interphase trap as their prime counterparts. However it wasn't the mirror defiant that became trapped as there is technically no 'mirror defiant' because the prime defiant came through 2152 and used by the terrans and refitted. As a result, I think in the mirror universe either the enterprise or a different constitution class ship investigates the interphase and becomes trapped.
The question is how does a terran starship from the 2260's and a Tholians interphase fissure connect to the progenitors?
I don't think it does. I think that a clue is hidden in interphase/interspace/whatever it was called and they happen to stumble on a Connie stuck there.
You can barely make out the Enterprise’s registry number in the ‘This Season On’ trailer.
The computer displays in the sickbay shots also show the Terran empire emblem, so it’s a Terran ship
But yeah, I agree. I don’t think we’re crossing over to the mirror universe, but some sort of pocket between universes that the Mirror 1701 got stuck in.

No shots on the mirror enterprise. They’re trying to hide it despite being in the trailers

Ah, wasn't aware the registry was noticeable.
Love it!
I couldn't find any. I'm guessing it was correctly quickly.
There is a cast list on the Spanish M-A page for the episode however

We'll hear the voice of the Mirror Enterprise computer. But other than that, no credits for anyone who would have served on the ship.
We can only beg them not toI do kinda expect some form of CGI Shatner to appear in new Trek at some point, voiced by Shatner as well. This would be an opportunity for that, but I guess Argentina would've let the rest of the world know
Picture 2, Rayner with a "WTF?" look on his face feels like it's going to become meme fodder.
