Even the fact that his lover - the admiral in our universe - at one point said that he'd changed, didn't she? <br /><br />I would assume that our Lorca is dead, by the hands of mirror-Lorca.

Just make it memorable. :)Patrykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662838711958747484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-63939536458429390642018-01-23T19:11:52.861-05:002018-01-23T19:11:52.861-05:00Lovely review Billie!

Tilly says that some things have happened. I really don't think that Mirror Stamets would have assumed she was attempting to tell him about Culber and that he wanted to be kind and let her know gently that he already knew but that there were things to be done. I do not think Mirror Stamets would have had that reaction. I think Mirror Stamets would also have smirked at seeing Tilly in obviously such an emotional, friend-like, worried state. He wouldn't have been able to help himself. He would have known about Terran Empire "Captain Killy" and would have laughed. Man... this series is delightful! And I must say... so beautiful to look at!Heather1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09736870202194851186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-78948252520561358672018-01-23T18:22:47.613-05:002018-01-23T18:22:47.613-05:00Mark Greig, I went back and watched the scene agai...Mark Greig, I went back and watched the scene again and I think you're right that he's wearing a Terran Empire comm badge... but the uniform wasn't the same Empire uniform he was wearing when he was in the mycelial network... it didn't have all the trappings of an empire uniform. The comm badge was hard to see, but you could be right. I sort of hope that they didn't switch. I know a lot of people on the web are hoping that they did but I'm not one of them. I think there's so much going on, not sure I could take something else. And I like Stamets. I want him to be OK.Heather1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09736870202194851186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-31944405521592882632018-01-23T15:24:44.377-05:002018-01-23T15:24:44.377-05:00Heather1, Mirror Staments was wearing an Imperial ...Heather1, Mirror Staments was wearing an Imperial uniform, it just had a lot less bling on it than others so looked more like the Starfleet uniform.

And it's set up to be a reveal. What we think is the Prime Universe Stamets wakes up on our Discovery and his manner is very much like our Stamets. I'm not sure the Mirror Stamets could fake that. And yes, Mirror Stamets (I think) says, "He did it"... indicating our Stamets. My take was that the tension of the reveal that Mirror Stamets is on the ISS Charon is to indicate that the Emperor already knows about and uses spore drive. In fact, I believe the Mirror Universe was ahead of the game and that's why Lorca was so so pushy about winning the Klingon war, it was simply to get Discovery up to speed to be ready when he made his play to get back to the Mirror Universe.<br /><br />But I can't explain Mirror Stamets (I assume) wearing Prime Stamets' Federation uniform.Heather1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09736870202194851186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-62208642514785535852018-01-23T09:57:11.992-05:002018-01-23T09:57:11.992-05:00Clearly, I need to watch this episode again. :)Clearly, I need to watch this episode again. :)Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-74180139342084972142018-01-23T07:32:24.305-05:002018-01-23T07:32:24.305-05:00"And now he and Stamets have exchanged comato..."And now he and Stamets have exchanged comatose bodies, which is just terribly confusing."
