No cyber eyes in the MU, Just a patch to cover the hole and keep debris out.
Technically, eye patches were originally used for one eye to be prepared for adapting to the dark conditions below deck.

Maybe -- but I wonder if someone can make it through the MU ranks without doing something that gets them a little bit of time in the agonizer booth.

By the way, "Does the gallows man really know how it feels to be hanged" sounds like an episode name! ;)
According to the first Mirror, Mirror episode, it didn't appear so. Everyone had a mobile agonizer too
 
Well Lorca (if he really is MU Lorca) willingly had himself be put into the agonizer booth knowing full well what it is --- so either MU Lorca is the Bad-Assiest of all Bad-Asses (which might actually be the case), or the agonizer booth is not the be-all end-all of tortures.

I'm thinking that Lorca's agonizer booth was set on one of the lower settings. Burnham made it clear she didn't want Lorca dying. Maybe the booth torture settings range from deep tissue massage to flesh on fire. That being said the brig must smell like p#ss and sh#t constantly. It's probably just as bad for the crew that has to work down there as the torture victims themselves.

Buit-in sonic shower runs concurrently :barf:
 
suppose they can return to our universe in the same way that the uss defiant came to the mirror universe. Would not that mean they would travel more than 100 years in the future?
 
This was another great one.
Was it just me or was this shot a bit differently? It just felt different for some reason, but it could have been me because I watched it last night after work, instead of waiting and watching it in the morning later in the week.
The Voq reveal was a big surprise for me. Not the reveal itself, which I had been expecting, but the way it played out was not at all what I expected. I figured they were going to save it and use it as a cliffhanger towards the end of the season.
I was a bit more surprised by Empress Georgiou, I know some people were expecting her, but I was thinking it was going to be Mudd or Stamets.
The stuff with the Rebels was pretty good, and I like the new designs for the Tellerites and the Andorians. The fact that they still look so close to the earlier designs, does make me wonder if there will eventually be more of an explanation for the Klingons.
Saru being a slave on the Shenzhou was a another surprise.
Was Prime and Mirror Stamets meeting at the end of this one or the preview for next week? Either way it is an interesting development. That does make it likely that they've been switching places.
 
Saru being a slave on the Shenzhou was a another surprise.
This surprised me as well. I actually said to my wife last week "I'm guessing we'll see everyone except Mirror Saru", because I was assuming that mirror Saru would not have a reason for being there....

...But, alas, this IS still Star Trek, and even though it logically makes no sense for history to be so different YET all of the mirror characters somehow magically find a way to be together, a Star Trek Mirror Universe episode would not be Star Trek without those characters finding a way to be together.

tl;dr:
Even though it doesn't make logical sense for the MU characters to all be there, it's a Star Trek staple that they are. :beer:
 
Quick question...

When did Photons become Nukes? their power seemed well OTT at the end.
Empress Georgiou probably had her flagship fitted with some special toys in case she needed to go on some personal missions to lay waste to entire planets.
 
They weren't as prominent as here though, if I remember. I think those mini-antennae above the eyes are entirely new.
they are and i like them - they needed an operator for each of shran's antennae
A slave can be loyal to a master, with there being no sex involved. It depends on the nature and benefits of the relationship.

I saw what Saru did as akin to a dog protecting its owner.

I am thinking, as the emperor is not known as the empress, that the empire is patriarchal. This might be one reason why the emperor is secretive about their identity. I am thinking here Hatshepsut, who concealed her womaness when she was pharoah.

especially since empress sato put the empire upside down :devil:

There's no MU Geneva Conventions so they probably have bio weapons as well as all sorts of nastiness. Maybe Augment shock troops too.
