🖖 Discovery S03E10: I’m glad that’s wrapped up. As pretty as the Mirror Universe is, torture is one of my least favorite plot devices, and that just dragged on and on. Those two episodes could have been one. But at least Carl was a fun treat! Now back to the plot, please?
@djwudi That said: Michelle Yeoh carries this, as excellent as ever, and it is fun to see Sonequa Martin-Green chew the scenery as evil!Burnham. But overall, I enjoyed the “real universe” bookends of these two episodes more than I did the Mirror Universe filler. The MU is a treat best used sparingly, and between a four- or five-episode arc in S1 and evil!Georgiou as a regular since then, I’m well and truly happy to stay away from the MU for another few seasons (or series, for that matter).
