Maybe my bar has been set so low by Disovery that this shocked me, flaws and all...i dunna. I'll put the Mudd episodes up as my 2 favorites of this series. Need to rewatch the OS Mudd outings.

By all means, do some dark gritty Game of Thrones kinda stuff. But don't trample all over established canon and fan favorite characters. And don't bother cramming it in ten measly years before Kirk, make it right in the middle of Kirk and Archer or a few decades after Nemesis. This is just lazily tossing "gritty" and "dark" and "prequel" and "JJ Abrams" and "Mudd" and "Sarek" and "Klingons" into a blender. Doesn't mean some of the chunks aren't good. But so far, I still think this is a misstep for the franchise and nothing more than a lazy cash grab. Not as bad as JJ Abrams Trek, but still bottom of the ladder behind all of the other five shows.

I really gotta get back to watching Discovery. I want to see what Frakes was able to do with an episode!

He doesn't redefine the wheel or anything. It's a whole lot of talking about the Mirror Universe and a whole lot of not showing it, but that's a script thing.

This OMGNEW Klingon look and culture is just so ingrained and important to the entire Discovery story, I can't get past it. If it weren't for that, I think I'd be able to stomach the needless 10-years-before-TOS story elements. I dunno.

I do like the uniforms, though. The gold/silver/copper color scheme is cool. But I really wish they'd found a way to keep the gold/red/blue color scheme with it somehow...

Looks like the official STD Facebook has banned and blocked me because I vote an Angry Face every time I see one of their stupid popups on FB.

There's only like two characters even somewhat developed on the show and yes, they've been in the Mirror Universe for like 4 episodes now. One non-character died, and a whole lot of non-characters talking about being in the Mirror Universe and not much else. The "big twist" in the latest episode is somewhat interesting.
