Another episode where it doesn't matter what the question is, the answer will always be 'feelings'.
The story is unoriginal and the main plot didn't move forward. This episode was a copy of Voyager's Shattered.

Plot holes:
- Discovery has a Spore Drive, but somehow the bad guys can still keep up with them! They even have time to order a super rare weapon from a webshop, get it delivered and go pay for it on a random planet. After that they go back to check the previous clue again. Even after that they go to Trill and infiltrate the monks' ceremony. They do all this while Discovery's crew is on Trill. The writers totally forgot just how big space is and travel takes time...
- No matter what time period Michael is in, on the floor in the ready room the Starfleet logo is still the 32nd century version.
- Airiam could've just told Past Michael to stand down. But instead we got a speech & emotions check scene.
- Rayner says he read all the crew profiles, but still didn't know about Stamet's Tardigrade DNA...
- Burnham said "I never gave up". She totally forgot that it was Lorca who gave her a second chance and motivated her because she herself totally gave up...
- Last week Tilly went full Karen on Rayner. This week it was Stamets. In a military organization where chain of command exists you can't just go and bully your superior officer to show more emotions!
- Michael is such a hypocrite. She chooses her new second in command for his skills, experience and personality. But later does everything she can to mold him to be a better fit for ship Therapy. They just can't stand it if someone is different than they are and try to forcefully convert anyone who steps aboard that ship...
- The writers forgot that the transporters filter out every dangerous thing, like weapons. The time bug is a centuries old tech that Starfleet knows about. It should be in their database. The transporters should've caught it. Also Zora should've found it. It was giving out a loud sound while it was navigating the ship, even the crew caught onto it. The A. I. is dumb and useless until the plot requires it not to be...
- In the future when Michael was talking to Zora she could've easily downloaded all the clues and data regarding the Progenitor tech. This would've ensured they get there first! Michael isn't the brightest light bulb in the room...
