So, it sounds like her double-casting won't be part of some season-long mystery:

"It’s one of those very simple situations, like with Freema [Agyeman, who appeared in Army Of Ghosts before being cast as Martha Jones]: when you cast a great actor, you need a new companion...

...I was thinking, 'Should we go back to the 51st century, could we meet her again?' and then I suddenly went, 'Oh, let’s just cast her again. We’ve done that before. Lovely.' The relief that went around the entire production and the BBC, everyone went, 'Oh, great.' It was the most instant 'yes' you’ve ever seen...

...We had a great meeting. She was kind of amazed and delighted. Lovely. Good stuff ahead. Completely new character, again, a completely new story, and that’s a great new story that will run across eight episodes."

“Up the Long Ladder.”

You're choosing violence, and I love it.

I thought that one was...fine. A perfectly acceptable unit of Star Trek.

I probably would have found it more interesting if Moll and L'ak had been the main protagonists of the episode, spending more time with them on the Enterprise in addition to their flashbacks, with Book and Burnham as the antagonists of the story.

On the other hand, I enjoyed Rayner's B plot, so maybe not.

Edit: and pour one out for our man Rhys, famous Constitution class fan who doesn't get to go on the mission to deliver the Enterprise to Federation HQ.

If chronophages are outlawed, only outlaws will have chronophages.

Except Control was already destroyed before they went through the Singularity!

They didn't know that for sure, and the debriefings with Pike, Spock, and the gang at the end establish that they took some time afterward to confirm that Control had been completely eliminated.

Okay, but Paramount+ doesn't directly produce any of the shows.

Discovery has some serious musical talent at their disposal.

Jeeze, I wasn't even aware that Gem had a paid tier...

I was actually linking to it as you sent this!

Anyone else convinced Captain Batel is kinda doomed?

spoilerThe preview clip from "The Ready Room" suggests she's about to have a very bad day, but maybe it's a fakeout.

I'm okay with what they did - they were tapping into the Broadway Musical Universe, after all, not the Epic Klingon Opera Universe.
