That's if it was even really Culber and not a manifestation of Stamet's mind.

Yeah, I just ignore that TATV even exists. Kinda like Nemesis.
he also joked, don't believe anything he says since he's been lying since day one.
he is a good actor, and i hope he comes back I'm some future episodes.
It's 50-50 shot whether that little green spore that landed on Tilly's shoulder is a spiritual embodiment of Lorca or Culber. Season 2...
Turnabout Lorca?
Pretty great episode to wrap up the whole Mirror Universe storyline, which has really worked for me and going back nine months later with the Klingons having won the war was an awesome cliffhanger too.
Shame they killed off Lorca just one episode after being revealed as a villain though as it felt a bit too soon. Probably should have done the twist a bit sooner, especially if the Ash Tyler stuff isn't gonna go anywhere.
9/10 anyway.

I was thinking during the scene where Stamets and Tilly are figuring out a way to ride out the explosion...I remembered how silly I thought the spore drive sounded at first and how it didn't fit with pre-established Trek science...but listening to them talk, every time they said 'mycelial network' I just mentally replaced it with 'subspace' and it all sounds the like the same Trek science. If they had called the spore drive the warp ten engine or something and the network was just a deeper realm of subspace, then I bet... there would still be arguing, but slightly less vehement.
I think it was mentioned before, but Stamets was awful in this episode. I say that because Culber just died a short while before, and he doesn't appear to be mourning that at all. I don't just mean he's "too busy to be sad" at the moment - at times he seems positively mirthful. Just bad characterization IMHO.
i wonder too. I think they will explain how klingons managed to win the war while PU Disco was away. If i recall correctly, before they ended up in MU, they turned the tide of the war in favor of Federation. Even without Disco around, how did Federation lose so fast in just 9 months.
Especially since Kol got blown up on T'Kuvma's ship, two major drivers of the war. Something or someone else very powerful has taken over the effort.
The house of Kang!!!!! He was the best TOS Klingon. Hopefully not those Duras idiots.
Me too, I am glad they are friends....again
That would be a neat twist. I like that idea.
the writer on AfterTrek said he was a big Die Hard fan, and took liberties to copy it (Michael in Jefferies tube a la McLean in elevator shafts).When will villains learn has soon as you get the person you are trying to kill.
KILL THEM.
I basically agree with most of what you've written here. Not the part about just looking for mindless excitement from my entertainment, but all the rest, yeah. I agree that Trek has lots of different facets that appeal to different people in different ways. I agree that it had gotten stuck in a rut during the Berman years and a new creative approach was welcome. I agree that there's no point in trying to exclude anyone else from the ranks of fandom.
I'm just not sure what exactly about my post triggered most of that response. It kinda seems like you're arguing against a straw man. Keep in mind, after all, that the post to which I was replying didn't say that DSC is emphasizing different aspects of Trek than I personally prefer... what it said was that the show is basically generic action sci-fi with only the trappings of Star Trek, or words to that effect. Oh, heck, I'll look up the exact quote: he wrote that DSC "isn't really a Star Trek show in the traditional sense, but a great sci-fi action show against a Star Trek backdrop." That's what I was reacting to.
To me at least, that's not saying that the show is focusing on different aspects of what Trek has to offer. It's saying that the show is focusing on (other) tired genre tropes, and sacrificing all of the things that make Trek special, keeping only the superficial window dressing. Perhaps that's not what the poster meant, but that's how it came across... and yet he was celebrating that. Can you see why I was taken aback?
Yeah, I noticed that. It just didn't work for me. Any parallels there are illusory... or downright delusional, on Burnham's part. The Emperor is not Captain Georgiou. She's nothing like her. The previous episode, in the process of introducing her, set out to depict her as a seriously loathsome and terrifying human being... and it did a very convincing job of that. That Burnham would feel some sense of attachment or loyalty to her simply because of the face she wears, or think that rescuing such a person would balance any sort of moral scales, is not remotely logical.
You are correct in that Burnham's attachment to MU Georgiou is not logical, it is emotional. Burnham is acting out of intense guilt for what she did to Captain Georgiou and it has effected her judgement. I'm sure we will see this play out over the coming episodes.
Insanely well directed. To include special effects incorporation. Wow. Story line may be generic Star Trek, but execution flawless.
