yes i noticed that too! Great episode! Loved those little nodds to TOS there. April, Pike, Archer, etc
Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x05 - "Choose Your Pain"

There are tons of TNG episodes from seasons 1 and 2 which feel like TOS episodes. Some of season 2 was recycled scripts from Star Trek Phase 2. One of the later episodes (Devi's Due) always seemed very TOS-like to me as well (again, an old Phase 2 script).
Perhaps a succession of crewmembers will, in turn, volunteer to serve as "animate copilots" (they'd have to have a lot of them do it, so as to minimize the possible harm to any one person) for the shroom vroom drive.
I think they clearly established that a human could hook up with the spore drive, though as we saw with Stammets, there are some side effects you probably wouldn't want to repeat too often.
So far, Stamets, Lorca and the dead Cylon are (were?) my favorites. Tyler does intrigue me, even if he doesn't turn out to be a Klingon. His character certainly has something up his proverbial sleeve.
L'Rell and Kol also look nothing like the actors playing them with the makeup on.
So that really means nothing.
One thing you can compare is eye shape and position.
And I believe that's the first time we've seen Captain Robert April mentioned in Trek live-action on screen (The character was in a TAS episode but the 'canonicity' of certain TAS elements has always been in question.)
Yeah, I'm thinking the Javid Iqbal credit is just a fake, since they can't credit Shazad Latif if they want it to be a secret, and not doing a credit would make it obvious something hinky is going on.So, if Tyler really is Voq, is the actor listed for Voq a red herring to throw us off, or is there actually a separate actor playing him? Voq, as we saw him in episodes prior to this one, doesn't look remotely like Shazad Latif, even under the layers of makeup and prosthetics. Or maybe Tyler isn't Voq, but another Klingon spy entirely, and the whole Voq sacrifice thing is still yet to be revealed. Or maybe Tyler is just Tyler!
This seems like a pretty good possibility to me, and if they keep working on it they might find a way to make it safer.
Yeah, the makeup is so complex that there really is no way to recognize the actors through it. I've seen tons of stuff with Kenneth Mitchell and Mary Chieffo before the show started, and they really look nothing like L'Rell and Kol.

I thought the spores were more like a dry food source, and it would have to draw moisture from the surrounding environment.

You're wrong. Burnham never "pushed" Georgiou to go to the ship. Burnham merely suggested that capturing T'Kuvma would be more beneficial than killing him. It was Captain Georgiou's idea to go on the away mission.
Again I ask, why is Burnham being blamed for Georgiou's death?
Absolutely nothing.
The extradimensional nature of the spores allowed a brief access to a watery planet, where water was siphoned to strengthen the tardigrade enough to do a proper "jump".
Or not.
Works as well as any other idea.
