    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In the opening credits, the image of the Red Angel has changed from the drawing created by Spock to a technical image of the space suit Saru identified the Red Angel was wearing in the previous episode.
    • Goofs
      Burnham wonders if Spock is saying numbers in reverse, and supposedly tests this by typing a number into a Starfleet computer and finding a match. But there are 100 billion stars in the galaxy, so any number would match - like dialing a phone number, and being proved correct because somebody answers the call.
    • Quotes

      Sylvia Tilly: The shock wave from the shuttle explosion is about to hit us with a... time tsunami. That one's not as cool as it sounds.

    Huuuuuuge revelations this week!
    We see Spock in a hysterical state and asks why. The Red Angel is no spiritual entity after all, thanks to Saru's super eyes. Then Emperor Michelle Yeah gives us critical information that shocks all viewers. Everything is coming together. I think some audience should learn to hold their tongue when they criticize DIS subplots "fillers" because they may be not. They could be active elements of a grander mythology of DIS. Never give conclusions so easily. Watch this episode yourself.
