conuly1. Oh, yay, now they're all talking in Klingon again. Can't look away.
2. Oh, man, the Emperor is sooooooooo obnoxious and I love it but I hate it and I love to hate it.
3. "Klingons are animals and they don't have homes." Wow. Do you intend to fit in here or...?
4. Smooth, Saru. I'm sure nobody at all picked up on your real motive for calling her over there.
5. I have to keep pausing in order to process all the awkward uncomfortableness. Things better start happening or I'll be spending four hours on this episode.
6. JFC, what is even happening. These people all know about the Mirrorverse, are they actually supposed to be in the dark (Michael and Saru excepted) about the fact that this is the Emperor?
7. Don't try to reveal me, blah blah blah, well maybe you should be a little less obvious!
8. L'Rell, the Emperor is the only one allowed to joke about eating people. Catch up!
9. Talk, talk, talk - oh, wow, the Emperor agrees with me! I would never have expected that!
10. Torture is not very effective at getting the truth, no matter what they tell us. Glad it didn't work this time.
11. It? OH MY GOD YOU ARE SO OBNOXIOUS.
12. Oh, yeah, you're motivated to share information for Starfleet.
13. Good thing Voq knew his geography.
14. HEY TILLY HAS HER HAIR BACK! AND SHE DOES NOT KNOW THE SECRET! - Oh, oh, oh. Now she got it. They subjugated the Betazoids? Well, the plus side of that is there's no Mirror Lwaxana. Probably.
15. Tilly tried to salute! This show needs more of this sort of interaction between its characters.
16. You shut up, Tilly's hair is fine.
17. Video failed, and the comments under this stream are gross, gross, gross. Why is my fandom infested? "It's just liberal propaganda!" Uh, yeah, because it's fucking Star Trek, you fuckwit. What the hell show did you think you were even watching all these decades? Go crawl back under your internet-less rock.
18. Yeah, he did find something interesting. Fortune cookies. Also, a tribble.
19. Sometimes I feel like I've seen every possible variation on "dodgy sci-fi underworld alley with added prostitution" and "wretched hive of scum and villainy". But hey, at least Discovery has been largely free of amphitheaters!
20. I can really see the influence of female costume designers on this Orion woman. Good job, guys.
21. But here's the "it's so evil" strip joint. Boring.
21a. However, I will note that, once again, there is some female influence in that the nearly-nude actors are not entirely female. Good job, guys.
22. Tilly, you are smarter than this. I am disappoint :(
23. Oh, man. This is painful for both of them. Oh, man. Oh, man. Has she been blaming herself for her parents' death? No wonder she has to to blame Ash for being Voq.
23a. Which, I mean, even if she didn't blame him, not wanting to be with him is valid.
24. Oh, wait, are you moving past your hatred of all things Klingon? Yay, emotional growth!
25. ...whereas Ash seems to be going backwards. And his hatred is mixed up badly with self-hatred and this is bad.
26. That's an interesting approach to information gathering. Here I thought she was just on a break.
27. Wait, wait, wait. Ash gambled, and Michael made emotional progress, and the Emperor got laid... but Tilly is gonna be the one who finds out useful information? After she got drugged? LMAO!
28. OH SHIT THAT IS NOT A DRONE!
29. EMPEROR SNEAK ATTACK!
30. But she didn't just kill her? Aw, she does care!
31. Yes, this was the plan all along. You know, on the one hand it's sad that Michael has been so thoroughly disillusioned. On the other hand, it kinda had to happen.
32. Well. That's a timer on this whole episode.
33. Cornwall, you have gone completely off the deep end.
34. Smackdown speech! Principles are all we have! Yay!
35. And we're full circle, too!
36. SHE IS SOOOOOO EVIL.
37. But she's probably the first person to talk to Michael openly and honestly. "Yeah, I was manipulative. And no, I was never like your captain. Duh."
38. Aw. What a great scene! She better be a recurring villain!
39. All this and they're just handing the empire over to L'Rell? Wow. Wow. Wow. (Can she and the Admiral at least be pen pals?)
40. Okay. "Alien alleyway of sin after bedtime" is something I haven't seen much of, I'll admit.
41. (BTW THE COMMENTS ARE EVEN GROSSER NOW OMG I NEED TO SHOWER.)
42. Ash is going with L'Rell? Man, we better get some proper closure on this next season, or at least some drama.
43. Honesty? From Sarek? Astonishing!
44. I notice Culber is still dead. Not happy.
45. Nice theme song at the end here, great cliffhanger, can we please stop having ships meet perfectly nose to nose?
