Discovery 1x11 – "The Wolf Inside" [** SPOILERS **]

Yes again i have to say i was glued to that! Fantastic - the possibilities are endless now

9/10 for sure

I specifically liked:

Possibilities moving forward

• Could we see the birth of the Alliance?
• Will we see the USS Defiant
• Will we steal Mirror Voq back to our universe???

But yes in my opinion that was pretty amazing, and i have no gripes with it whatsoever

Almost forgot - STAMETS!?!? Whats going on there!!! hum?

The EMPIRE

My Opinion is that the empire was effectively on its knees when the Enterprise two parter took place - didnt Forrest say that they were losing ships by the dozen? It also makes total sense as although they had slightly more advanced NX class ships, and presumably more of them, they wouldnt have been a match for the Vulcans Andorians, tellarites, and now we can include Klingons by the looks of it

Then Boom. They get a constitution class from the prime universe. Deus ex. They turn the table, expand (as archer said he would just before he was poisoned), and manage to take over the quadrant, including by the looks of things, the klingon empire. One must assume then that the Cardassians of the mirror Universe were a central means by which the Terran Empire was over-run - that and spocks reforms of course

SO in effect.. 'In a Mirror Darkly' is almost a prequel to the entire mirror universe and the empire itself..

LORCA is mirror version?

On this one im gonna say, no.. respectfully i dont see it, and here is why:

• Yes this Lorca is morally compromised, but lets be frank, a war, a ship lost, millions dying... thats morally compromising in itself
• He was fully prepared to warp back to starbase 43 until stamets said, no il jump us there
• He was LITERALLY ABOUT to answer the hail of the Cooper until burnham stopped him - which she did at the last second.. if he had been mirror-lorca he would have found some reason to keep silent, as answering the hail would likely have led to Cooper instantly blast discovery
• His reaction to the Emperor could easily be described as his reaction, to BURNHAM's reaction, as opposed to anything else.
• He was clearly horrified by what he say in the terran brig.. the Agony Booth.. his facial reactions read as someone horrified to see what humans could be capable of, in a mirror darkly, if you pardon the pun

What i will say is that Lorca may be formulating some theories of his own

• If the flagship of the empire doesnt look anything like a constitution class ship from the brief shot we see in the trailer, and Lorca may attempt to copy its schematics.. advanced weapons etc
• Its possible we will encounter Lorca Mirror and perhaps he is a better man, who knows.. could be even worse
• it is possible that just as Mirror knew of Prime, that prime, or perhaps Section 31 in the prime, knew of the mirror.. all is possible, with events unseen perhaps

Finally on a funny point that just occurred to me! Remember in DS9s episode 'the emperors new cloak' - which made no sense of course, RE the mirror Universe had cloaking tech already.. but im thinking of Rom's dialogue about everything having to be opposite.. What if section 31 are a LOVELY BUNCH OF LADS over here

Imagine a mirror 31 interrogation?

"Do sit down please, here let me get your coat.. would you like a cup of tea, two sugars you say! of course! Now about all this talk of rebelion and other silly nonsense, its all frightfully silly"

Not all mirror people are the opposites or alternative versions of themselves. The universe has dramatic differences but I always seen it that it was how that universe would influence the people the characters become.

i understand but just for fun, play it as Rom suggested!

• SAREK is totally irrational, having vulcans charging at terran soldiers wielding spoons
• section 31 in charge of the Terran version of green peace
• The borg appear and stitch people up - You will be repaired and upgraded - RESISTANCE IS FUTILE
• And Khan.. screaming 'Will somebody please think of the CHILDREN'
