Trivia
Admiral Cornwell says that the Discovery will be the first Federation ship in nearly one hundred years to visit Qo'noS, since Captain Archer and the Enterprise visited the Klingon home world in 2151 in Broken Bow, Part 1 (2001).

Goofs
Stamets says Starbase 1 is 100 AU from Earth, yet when Discovery arrives, there is a well-lit planet seen behind the Starbase. 100 AU (9.3 billion miles) denotes a location beyond the orbit of Pluto, but within the sphere of the Oort Cloud. There are no planets there, and if there were, they would not be so well-lit by the light of our sun.

Quotes
L'Rell: T'Kuvma taught us that the Federation cannot help itself. It seeks universal homogenization and assimilation.
Admiral Cornwell: T'Kuvma was an ignorant fool. And your people are moving closer and closer to my home planet. What are you looking for? More territory? Conditional surrender? I mean, your people won't even make demands. Why? How does this war end?
L'Rell: It doesn't. Klingons have tasted your blood. Conquer us, or we will never relent.

A great run up to the final

One thing this episode does strongly is demonstrate a team, working together to achieve a common goal. But with the edition of a certain character from another Universe attempting to gain as much power as they can from their situation. I look forward to seeing how this all finishes in the final episode, and how the effects will move on into season 2.

Hopefully once this Klingon war ends we will be shown a more star trek formula in the next season enticing those fans who hate the linear story line, of course I have to say personally out of all the Star trek series' this one definitely had the best first season, and unless the ending falls to a horrible cliffhanger, which I'm worried it might, the season will continue to remain in that slot for me.
