The Wolf Inside

-This episode was pretty good,the only bad things were the Michael punk era haircut (it looks silly too see this creepy man's haircut on an educated female) and Tilly's huge boobs and butt hanging dangerously under that very thight uniform (i still don't get why they choosed a tight uniform ,because the old fans hate them because they look unrealistic and make the stomach and the butt too look very ugly on the sedentary actors).The Klingons are still looking like a parody version of the burned Freddy Kreuger .The Andorians and the Tellarites are looking very good (i wonder why they never did the same minor changes to Klingons too,although i don't remember if the Andorians antennae are still moving like they did in Enterprise.The Terran uniforms are looking like the Klingons uniforms from The original series.I realise now the guy from Adventures in Babysitting forgot how to act,he always looks like an old grumpy lady,and Tilly makes the show too look very comic ,it's Tilly saves the day now,what a stupid stereotype,the same kind of stereotype which almost destroyed The Next Generation and ended Stargate Universe.I still hope one day somebody smart enough will come and will make a remake with the races like they looked in The Next Generation ,Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise ,just like the majority of the fans want.This show remains a good show but this is not Star Trek , its like drinking orange juice from a cola bottle and pretending it's a cola juice.This show splitted the fans in cannonites and nutrekkers and i hate the producers because that is the thing they liked the most in the remakes , a fan who watched the evolution of all things related to Star Trek can observe this kind of things,because the controversy always brings money and audience very fast but this type of productions don't resist in time.I really hope somebody up there in the Star Trek franchise would read someday about our complains and will make the right decisions with the Star Trek franchise once again for the first time since the end of the 90's.

This episode is celebrated as having the the longest opening teaser in the whole Star Trek Cannon. Fourteen minutes. (I got that little snippet from Memory Alpha after wondering why I had nodded off a couple of times).

A great deal of effort has gone into establishing a different atmosphere here in the Mirror Universe where Michael Burnham is strutting around pretending to be her evil-twin Terran equivalent while her Captain faces the prospect of a trip to the agony booth.

We have the moody, subdued lighting, languid bathing scene and slinky lingerie so Michael Burnham can indulge in the obligatory Mirror Universe recreational use of a junior crew member before getting into her gold-plated uniform.

We watch a "spacing" execution and MB, who is apparently captain over here, volunteers herself for an away mission to infiltrate the rebel base and gather intelligence rather than blasting them from high orbit.

Meanwhile, back on Discovery - at least I think that is where we are - A gold-encrusted Cadet Tilly is defending Commander Stammets from the widespread belief that he was responsible for the death of Doctor Culber. The multiple subterfuges and confusing character swaps currently taking place in this episode cannot eliminate the fact that NO SURVEILLANCE OF ANY KIND appears to have picked up Ash Tyler snapping the Doctor's neck.

Time for a well-earned cup of tea. What do you mean, the main part of this episode hasn't even started yet?

The problem isn't with the basic idea, but at some point one will look into the plotting and see all kinds of holes. It's getting harder and harder to tell who's who without a program. Even if there were such a possibility, how does a humble crew member continue to work outside his or her memories and experiences and continue the charade. Nevertheless, I'll give it another shot.

Yes, there you have it. The show is getting better and better! The chemistry between characters is gradually building up. We've got tension, action, bonds and actors glued to their characters. Sure, the story still leaves us with a lot of questions and some gaps here and there. But hey, there's four more episodes left!

That, plus a whole new second season to be excited for. Those of you who keep on bashing on this show, please don't call yourselves Star Trek fans anymore. You are just ungrateful, unrealistic and all you do is type nonsense and throw delusional marks on every episode. Just stop. The show builds up slowly but it is starting to shine. Give it a chance.

I've been watching Star Trek since the first episode aired in 1966. This is one of THOSE episodes. Yes, the ones that present a great story with a muddled script and more muddled direction. While I appreciate the convoluted and complicated storyline, it's just a mess.
