Trivia
Like his son Spock in Mirror, Mirror (1967), the mirror universe Sarek has a goatee.

Goofs
When the three prisoners are beamed into space, the viewer sees them instantly freeze solid. This is a common misconception and mistake in science fiction. Since there is no air in space, the is no convection for such quick heat loss. A person would die of suffocation long before they would freeze.

Quotes
Michael Burnham: [voice-over] I can't rest here. Not really. My eyes open, and it's like waking from the worst nightmare I could imagine. Even the light... is different. The cosmos has lost its brilliance. And everywhere I turn, there's fear. -... - It's been two days. But they're already inside my head. Every moment is a test. Can you bury your heart? Can you hide your decency? Can you continue to pretend to be one of them? Even as, little by little, it kills the person you really are?

Could have been a brilliant episode if the dialogue was as good as the cinematography

Burnham looks to get information about the USS Defiant's escape from the mirror universe.

I enjoyed this one for the intriguing plot, fantastic visuals and solid performances.

The story contains a number of clever twists and character reveals, along with a nice bit of suspense that keeps it compelling throughout. To go into any of it in detail would spoil, but it's safe to say that I enjoyed the direction it takes both plot and characters.

Visually it is one of the strongest examples of Star Trek I have seen. The cinematography is brilliant, displaying wonderfully composed shots that make the best use of colour, reflection and lighting to create atmosphere. It is also edited together very nicely to keep things ticking over at good pace.

All performances are solid, but what lets it down is the writers' continuing fondness for clunky exposition throughout the dialogue. It feels so deliberate and unnatural. It's a testament to the actors delivery that they can make it sound as human as possible.

Discovery is starting to raise my interest levels more now and I'm actually looking forward to the next one.
