Another great episode this week.

A good take on the classic sci-fi version of ground hog day.

Like so many shows these days, its midseason break time. Picks up in Jan.
IMO this show has far exceeded my expectations. Great show, cast, fresh story...looking forward to Jan. Now I can cancel my sub for a little while. LOL

Didn’t get to watch it last night. I checked in before it was released, then dozed off. LOL
Really looking forward to it though.

They nipped off into the "Dark" universe a bit early

Are they runing out of ideas aleady ?

I've not seen any of Discovery yet, but I couldn't miss the mentions online that they had done a mirror universe episode. My thoughts "mirrored" yours, no pun intended.

Unlike most ST series, there is an ongoing story. It will fit in somehow. You can’t run out of ideas after just a few episodes. wink
The show is really good, no need to be negative about it.

Everyone has a right to their own opinion on these things however. You say "really good" and I've seen those who say it "really stinks", both have a right to those views.

But you said you haven’t seen it, why adopt the negative attitude?

Depends entirely on what their plan for the show is. Maybe it will involved the Mirror Universe more?

DS9 did almost a show a season set in the Mirror Universe.
TNG never touched it, same with Voyager.
ENT had a double-episode there.

The episode was directed by Jonathan Frakes (Commander Riker), btw.

I only stated that it seemed like they "went there" too soon, it smacks of desperation to me.

I've always thought that the mirror universe was over done in Trek anyway, especially on DS9... it was like they kept a door open between universes there!

I like the Mirror universe, and I'm facinated that they are doing a concentrated arc in it for Discovery. Wonder if it'll last the whole "Chapter".

Chapter 1 was the pre-break story. Chapter 2 is the post-break batch.

I'm liking that there is not just a quick fix to get back to the Prime universe.

Also Taylor's arc is interesting - the lengths that Vor has gone to in order to gain the upper hand. Wonder what will come out of it.

Great episode again, I like how they keep things changing.
The mirror universe might be a used storyline, but they’re developing it and tying it in with previous storylines about it. I like it.
Far better choice than yet another...
-transporter incident, we lost someone version
-transporter incident, they go intangible and invisible version
-someone boards and takes over the ship...although these can be good sometimes
-crew member takes over the ship
-holodeck goes crazy
-playing diplomat/moderator between previously unheard of species
-Vulcans have none of our weaknesses episodes... only Enterprise portrayed them well previously IMO.

It isn’t that I’m fascinated with the mirror universe stuff, but I like the show and how they develop a story. They didn’t just throw this out there for a conflict of the week, they’re using it and won’t be the same when they return as when they went.

Ugh, I hope they don’t do the time travel thing. Maybe if they go forward for a change.

Have to agree. We are still in the progress to learn about the crew, yet they show how they would/could be in a dark universe. I´m interested to see where this is going. Perhaps it makes sense in some way later.

Don´t take me wrong, I´m enjoy the show. Have seen all series from The Next Generation. Some thinks repeat to often for my liking though.

Captain Archer went into the future in an episode of Enterprise.

That’s true, I forgot. They kind of dropped the temporal cold war thing unresolved. Then after a great season with the attack on Earth they went back in time with that terrible alien nazi thing.

Another big twist! I like Michelle Yeoh returning, although I doubt it will be for long.

I still don’t get exactly what happened to Tyler. He was rebuilt physically and mentally, but the Klingon was surgically altered to look just like him. So how were they combined? Seems more like a mind transfer or something, but it was somehow a physical combination too.
