You're welcome.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the Emperor again.

I was hoping for Spock, but seems to be a longer story arc.

Me too. The teasers certainly indicated that we'd see Spock, but so far just references to him.

And they can't call it "Search for Spock", that one has already been done

True. Good thing Spock has friends in Starfleet to rescue him.

I thought it was a good eppy, had some really good scenes in them, I must admit the Klingon story didn't really grab me that much..

- Love the scenes between Amanda and Michael, both of them trying to help Spock anyway they can. I did think we might know what Michael did to Spock, but not yet..Glad Michael told Amanda that she saw the "angel" too.

- Glad that Tilly finally told Michael what was happening to her and her 2nd best buddy Stamets helped her out with it all. I'm glad that Tilly is still in the command program

- we saw Ash again, although how much of Ash is still there.. and about the baby. Glad that Ash and L'Rell sorted it out in the end, but yeah Ash is away from them now, but as I said, I was more involved in the storyline on Discovery.. Glad Ash is away from the Klingons now..

- Have to say great entrance by the Emperor there and now working for Section 31!, I wonder how that happened and I'm surprised she isn't Captain of the ship...

Yeah, I felt the same.

This episode was interesting enough to watch, but it felt a bit like a in-between-episode to me.

Also the last couple of episodes seemed to be so dark and serious, I think we could use a more lighter one for a change next. I kinda miss the jokes and outdoor scenes on planets from the other ST series.

But the backstory of Michael and Spock was interesting and it was cool to see how they discovered the spore infection of Tilly.

There's a video interview with Mary Chieffo on this episode:

I enjoyed the episode.

I'm glad the story is now including Michael's relationship with Amanda.

It was good to see what Ash is up to. I'm glad he got away from the Klingons, though.

Awesome to see Philippa back! She was so badass!

I loved that Tilly confided with Michael so that they were able to help her.

There is a vid on YouTube that shows how Philippa came to work for 31! LOL! An agent recruited her while she was running the brothel on the Klingon home world.

I AM SO HAPPY WE'VE SEEN THE EMPEROR AGAIN!!!! YAY!!! As for Captain of the ship... give her time! She'll take over when she's ready, of this I have no doubt! LOL!
