10/10
A great addition not only to DSC but to Star Trek as a whole.

Episode 10 adds to the commonly held belief that DSC's first season is the best 1st season of any Star Trek series. We continue to learn more about the characters through fantastic story telling. Burnham is still on her trek to redemption although she may not be cognizant of it, but being forced to do things she may not want to in the mirror universe will be a complication for her to work though. Not to mention having to deal with Tyler.

Jason Isaacs continues to give a great performance and has to take a back seat to the Discovey's new captain; Captain "Killy".

Having seen every Trek episode from every series multiple times over I can say without hesitation that the turbolift fight scene is by far the best fight scene in Trek ever. Thankfully we are long past the days of a Shatner stunt double doing a flying butt slam off a wall.

Episode 10 continues to explore the human condition, but not in the traditional sense where it hits you in the face like a pie as was often done quite blatantly in previous iterations of Trek (and there was nothing wrong with that in those series). You may have to look a little deeper to see the meanings, the intent, of the story being told. In doing so we find that DSC is Trek from it's hull to it's warp core.
