felt the same Claire, hope it gets ramped a little in the next eppy

Agree that this episode was rather underwhelming. Basically it showed us some of the upgrades to the Discovery, and set up the motivation for Michael to be demoted.

The cat scenes were fun.

I enjoyed the episode from the Philippa standpoint!! This episode had me going back and reading the Star Trek novel DIE STANDING, which is Emperor centric!

Probably not a memorable episode, but I enjoyed the pacing slowing down. I think demoting Burnham was reasonable. That will probably make the blonde woman on the bridge first officer? (I can't remember her name.)

Chris

Nilsson? I don't remember seeing her last season. Kayla Detmar & Joann O have been regularly seen on the bridge, so might be options. At the beginning of the season I would have guessed Nhan, but she's gone now.

Nhan would be great! I hope she comes back.

Btw, Burnham should wear a silver uniform and badge next episode.

Chris

Yes, it would be nice to see Nhan again.

They should definitely follow through with changing Michael's uniform.
