The Wolf Inside

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.

Considering their understand of DNA and more, and how everything is monitored, how could they possibly not know who committed a "hands on" murder?

Getting Darker!

The last episode set a promising scene for a decent alternate reality romp and I wasn't disappointed. Tightly paced, this focused tale has the tightest direction seen in the series to date.

As promised in the last episode, we see a bevy of faces from the original pilot return in remarkable and unexpected form and our protagonist trying to come to terms with what she is expected to be in this universe and at risk of losing sight of her primary objective. Yet while she prevails, we see another succumb before our very eyes.

I'm sorry to those die hard trekkie fans from the 60s; This is not a utopian dream state promised by Gene Roddenberry. It is rooted *firmly* in the pre galactic federation, feudal age.

It's Star Trek, Jim, but not as we know it.

And what happened to Voq.

I loved "Mirror Mirror" in TOS. I loved all of the Mirror episodes in Deep Space 9. And I really liked the "Fairest of them All" episode of Star Trek Continues. I'm familiar with Jerome Bixby, the science fiction writer that wrote "Mirror, Mirror". He was a writer for pulp sci fi rags back in the 50's along with Heinlein and Niven. Of the Original Trek franchises efforts in regard to the Mirror 'Verse, the closest to what we have here is probably the excellent two part "Through the Mirror, Darkly" eipsodes of Enterprise.

However, in these last 2 Discovery eps, we see a Mirror 'Verse even more sinister than in those two Enterprise entries.

And we still had the Mystery of what had happened to Voq. Now we know, and it didn't even happen in the Mirror 'Verse. We remember that L'Rell brought Voq to meet her Family, and she intimated that in order for Voq to re-claim his place as T'Kuvma's Successor that he would have to do something that was pretty much unspeakable.

On the other hand, Michael and Tilly need to keep being people who they are not, which goes far beyond deception. There is also some odd reference to The USS Defiant, first seen in "The Tholian Web" and this brings us back to the Enterprise episodes.

At first I didn't quite understand why Defiant was being brought up, until I remembered certain aspects of those Enterprise Eps.

All I can say about that, is the Discovery's Spore Drive stomps over everything. Prime Universe, Mirror Universe, past, Present and Future. So the Trick here is getting Stamits Fixed.

We've been hearing about a mysterious, unnamed, Emperor. Wonder who that could be?

-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.
