Trivia
At one point, a call can be heard for "Cadet Decker". This may refer to Willard Decker, who became captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise in Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) (played by Stephen Collins). Willard Decker is also the son of Matt Decker, who was mentioned as one of Starfleet's most decorated captains in Choose Your Pain (2017). Considering that Discovery takes place a decade before The Original Series, and therefore 18 years before The Motion Picture, the time line would be appropriate.

Goofs
Movie villains typically plant secret bombs which flash pretty lights and sound rhythmic beeps so that they won't be discovered. Not to be outdone, the Discovery's heroes plant secret tracking devices which flash pretty lights, sound rhythmic beeps, and dance little jigs so that they won't be discovered.

Quotes
[Stamets has offered to do one more jump to get Discovery to safety]
Captain Gabriel Lorca: We're gonna win this war on account of you, Mr. Stamets. After this, it's a whole new chapter for Discovery. You've opened a door to a... whole new era of exploration. The data provided by the micro-jumps will push us closer than we've ever been to understanding the mysteries of the universe.
Paul Stamets: No, Captain, I mean *only* one more jump. After we get back, I'm done. Traveling the mycelial network is like commingling with the most abstruse blips of our celestial existence. I've seen these stars through a lens no one else has access to, and... that has to be enough for me. Because I need Starfleet's best doctors to examine my condition and figure out what's been happening to me.
Captain Gabriel Lorca: One last jump, then. You've served the Federation honorably, Lieutenant.
Paul Stamets: Well, I'll always have you to thank for the view.

-An excellent episode.

It was a good episode although i have doubts about seeing Discovery exploring parallel dimensions and unknown galaxies in the next episodes(excepting the well known mirror universe ,off course),because the show would be too awesome but the war with the new and stupid Klingon cannibals and weird sexual relationships are more interesting than this kind of stuff for the producers and the new fans,but this seems to be a common tendency these days in any sci-fi production,unfortunately.Another thing that bothers me is the inconsistency of cadet Tilly as a character.In the first episode she can't even have a normal conversation and now she is already as a real auntie for the rest of the crew.The look of Airiam is way too goofy ,she looks like a smurf with an iron helmet,more suitable for a parody .
