It's tortured another couple of times, Michael angsts, then decides to get proactive. She points out that it is suffering brain damage, the doctor points out that it's probably sentient, everybody gets very serious - and the tardigrade goes into deep protective hibernation. The engineer whips up a solution to take its place with a blissful minimum of technobabble. Michael frees the tardigrade into space. Cheesy special effects as it runs as far away from Discovery as possible.

Other thoughts: 1. Tilly needs a role other than being Michael's teddy bear.

2. We have got to learn the names of some of these people on the bridge, ffs.

3. Klingons torturing people are the worst Klingons, with or without implied rape.

4. Yay, gays!

5. Creepy scenes would be just as creepy without the dramatic "don't touch that dial!" music cluing us in.

[personal profile] rivendellrose has an interestingly plausible theory about our new character. Spoilers, naturally.

The last few sentences of her theory give me hope that there might someday be a version of this show I want to watch.
