So it's all about the music...
That was weird/random. Would it be that unusual if a human and a Barzan knew the same lullaby in the 32nd century?
I mean, it's a tell for something, but it's a damn stupid Chekhov's gun.

Eh, maybe not as bad. But there hasn't been a Terran who wasn't morally loose.I have to say I absolutely hated the implication that Terrans were evil due to some biological difference. Not only does it destroy a lot of drama if you make "badness" a matter of inherent human nature, it's already contradicted by canon (Smiley wasn't a bad guy!).
Well maybe its due to education, remember the UE and UFP sprung out of the ashes of World War III, a war won by the United States and (presumably) its European allies against the Eastern Coalition. It makes sense, especially with Starfleet HQ/Academy being based on SanFran and Federation HQ being in Paris that they would be biased towards a Euro-centric viewpoint.I loved this episode, just as I've mostly loved the first four episodes of this season. One quibble, but as an anthropology major it bothers me -- Saru's talk of the "Dark Ages" is disingenuously Euro-centric. Much of Asia and North Africa was thriving at that time. I wish writers would take that into account. I love the whole "we're searching for the Renaissance" concept but still, lol.
It was Tal/Grey that knew the music and passed it on to Adira.That was weird/random. Would it be that unusual if a human and a Barzan knew the same lullaby in the 32nd century?

Obviously, the symbiote knowing it is going to be an important clue down the line.
had to find out from a youtube video there is a USS Nog present there.
Also what the heck is up with 32nd Century holograms?
They felt like they were less advanced then the Doctor....

So basically the Mirror denizens are absolved of all their misdeeds as it's now not their fault. They might as well just be green orcs.“have a subatomic flaw in their stem cells that makes them violent”.![]()

Maybe it's star fleet academy that is Euro-centric. Saru is only drawing from his education.

True. But you are overthinking it. It was just an analogy meant for the audience. It was a convenient example that the audience could easily understand, and that the writers could use to convey the ideas that they were trying to get across.
Lt. Willa: Admiral Vance, the good news is we found a planet with a massive amount of replenishing fungi spores that will allow us to recreate Discovery's spore drive and restore the Federation to its former status.
Admiral Vance: Just tell me what the bad news is.
Lt. Willa: The planet has an entire kingdom of sentient fungi, and they have protectors who are not going to let us have their spores.

Admiral Vance: Wipe them out. All of them.
And yet no USS Kim...![]()
New Constitution, not neo.Did she say "Neo-Constitution"?
What reference?Minus one for the really, really lame GOT reference in the preview.
I didn’t take any of that seriously. They kept throwing shit at her to ruffle her and it didn’t work until the remark about caring for someone on Discovery.So basically the Mirror denizens are absolved of all their misdeeds as it's now not their fault. They might as well just be green orcs.
The ban was lifted but we don't know how quickly it was embraced.Where are the androids? The prohibition was lifted at the end of Picard series 1. I would have expected to see more of them by now (although they seem to use robots much more than ever seen before)
