this weeks episode was sort of alright with the sorta Q or member of one of near omnipotent species from Kirk era providing a door to the past
but next week should be more interesting when has anything that messes with history not ended in tears
since the fucking movie about the whales

Hair extensions and I bet they would have become more sophisticated by then.

So I can forgive the talking time portal, but not the waste of two episodes for an inconsequential and really not required redemption morality tale.

It was a set up for the new Section 31 series that Michelle Yeoh is fronting. The writers of these two episodes are the show runners for that series.
I didn't actually think the two episodes were that bad in and of themselves, and I did enjoy the callback to the Guardian of Forever from the great original series episode City on the Edge of forever, but it seems a weird waste of two episodes in what is already a short season.

... they can't got for a universe with subtle but important differences to allow interesting plots, they have to go the full camp, with 'good' characters becoming demented psychopaths, gurning away and giving it the full mwahahaha. Also, been done at least twice in previous star trek incarnations from memory.

I didn't know about the section 31 spin off, that does make more sense, but still seems a criminal waste of episodes, almost in a Bobby Ewing type way. And I quite enjoy the mirror universe's premise, but yes the evil overplayed - a federation gone bad in a more bureaucratically fascist way would be much more interesting.
Also I enjoyed the character of Georgiou. Was already missing Ash Tyler, and think Book a pretty thin substitute.

I've now fallen asleep before the end three episodes in a row so no fucking clue what's going on but also I don't really care.

The main thing the last two episodes have demonstrated is that Mary Wiseman should never be cast as the baddie in anything. Most of the rest of the evil twins aren't terrible, and SM-G is actually pretty convincingly unhinged, but Captain Killy just stepped out of a bad local pantomime.

Every Star Trek incarnation except TNG and VOY has had the mirror universe, and it’s always rubbish. Funnily enough the Lorca stuff is DISCO S1 was the first time it had been done passably well.

I disagree - "Crossover" was good (except for O'Brien's speech), and "Shattered Mirror" was decent.

Last two, I think. This week's was excellent, a real return to form - Doug Jones getting to show his face for once, amazing SFX and environment design on the planet/holodeck, the actor playing Su'Kal was really good (similar vibe to James McAvoy as the child in Split), Tilly proving she can be a great captain, and setting up a proper against-the-odds finale.
Osyrra's weird mouth is really bugging me though. I don't know how or why they've made it look like that, Janet Kidder usually looks normal.

They didn't quite hit the right note that Star Wars somehow manages to with its droids.

Not seen the latest episode yet. But I can see in the one I just watched where they must have started running into filming problems due to Covid. A couple of edits are a bit odd, and there’s disembodied expositional dialogue off screen to link scenes. It’s clear the voice overs were done in order to replace scenes they couldn’t shoot, and it’s quite noticeable. Not sure what else they could have done, but these are things we'll look back on and recognise as pandemic consequences.

They wrapped filming in February, so it's not missing any scenes, but all the post-production like sound, music, visual effects etc had to be done remotely.

The production is fine, it's the writing that's crap.
