Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 3x09 - "Terra Firma, Part 1"

The dangers of the internet. No context clues.

I thought mentioning the concept of a MU babysitter was pretty obvious as a joke.

It'a Star Trek board. EVERYTHING is a serious debate

Morn or Mott?

Is there a screenshot of the paper somewhere?

Look further back in this very thread. Someone posted a comparison.

My sense of humor isn't what it should be.

Mirror Airiam (the second one).

Just because it's the same actress doesn't necessarily mean that she's playing the same part. In fact, Airiam was played by two actresses.

Sonequa Martin-Green Was great in this, I didn’t realise she was such a good actress.

Door and frame seems an odd choice. Usually when you walk in a TARDIS, you wind up inside the TARDIS.

The "interior" of the TARDIS could exist in the space of the door frame.

Yes, but not the Mirror Universe.

I think this two-parter is a rehast of "It's a Wonderful Life'' featuring Emperor Georgiou, where Guardian Clarence (ahem Carl) shows her how her future would've looked like had she never met Burnham and Crew and they did not rescue her back in S1. .

I just figured it out. This episode (and next) is Georgiou’s “It’s A Wonderful Life”/“Christmas Carol” moment (just in time for the holidays, of course). Carl was Clarence Odbody/Ghost of Christmas Past, Present and Future, all rolled into one, complete with period clothing and old-style wooden door, reminding the ever-pining-for-the-good-old-days-in-the-MU Georgiou what things used to be like, allowing her to more clearly see how much better things are now.

I think you are both right. I didn't think of this while watching the episode, but in retrospect that is what they are going for here.

Why not?

Pre Cyborg Airiam/Airiam 2.0 was played by Hannah Cheeseman who also played "Mirror Airiam" so it's a good chance it's her.

Why not?

So the entire Mirror Universe exists inside a TARDIS? That gives a lot more meaning to "Bigger on the inside".

I never noticed a Mirror Airiam. In which episode did she appear?

"Mirror Airiam'" appeared in the one we saw on Thursday.

The most recent one - she was in the crowd during the Charon christening.

Screencap from TrekCore, along with a ton of analysis on the visuals, including the snow walk, which was almost perfectly duplicated from the original sand walk in the pilot and Carl's newspaper articles:

This could still be some kind of delusion besides it contradicts a lot of this that had been established. Like the fact that without mirror Lorca there would have been no Spore Jump... How do you reconcile that with a Lorca living a completely different life?

Sounds liek circular reasoning. How do you know it's mirror Airiam?

New branch of the Mirror Universe.

See my post above. TrekCore did a good comparison. It's definitely her.

Update: Well, it's definitely the same actress, at least. We can probably safely assume that this is a MU Easter Egg, implying that it's the same character.

And, while admittedly not 100% official, the IMDB record for that episode lists the actress as playing "Lt. Cmdr. Ariam".
