Spot-on review Jammer, down to the smallest details. In the mirror universe, aboard the Terran emperor's flagship, the ISS Charon, Gabriel Lorca frees his followers from a chamber filled with agony booths, including his loyal partner Commander Ellen Landry. The crew, which had grown comfortable with the idea of waging a defensive war against the Klingons, would now find themselves discomforted in a situation where war is neither imminent nor necessary, perceiving a Klingon threat where there is none. The visual aspects of Discovery simply don't fit in, and not just the underlining technology, even the way ships move through space. I give it 4 stars as well. Insane.

Throwing a bunch of villains on the screen doesn't really shed any light into the nature of evil or societal ills. I didn't rate Blade Runner 2047 and the less said about the Last Jedi the better. It's a shame to lose Isaac, to lose an interestign character, that the things that made his character interesting all boiled down to "Mirror Universe evulz". Okay, I gotta weigh in here My opinions on Discovery are mixed. If I remember right, didnt TNG try to avoid any references to TOS in the early seasons, to make it's own mark and avoid being seen to ride on the success of the original crew (besides McCoy in Encounter at Farpoint and the The Naked Now)?

The writers should be commended for not prolonging this needlessly. Or providing some sort of nuanced point of view from a MU character - not that we'd agree, but something a bit smarter than "will to power." I'm all in favor of keeping the Earth clean. Lorca being from the MU? "One year, 212 days of torture of agony, my friends my followers. There's no consideration for what any broader message might be, and so any message one can draw from the show is going to be largely accidental rather than by design.
