The mirror episodes always have awesome plot-holes.
 
But they're also, on average, very interesting episodes that give the actors and writers a chance to stretch.
 
I was at first apprehensive of seeing the mirror universe tapped in season one - but Discovery is honestly the best show to really explore the ideas.  The mirror universe culture deserves to lean a little more towards the PG13 / M -14 side of the fence.
 
As for the light sensitivity - it's a neat quirk and it hasn't been seen before because it hasn't been thought of before.  Like the purplish or albino glitter armor Klingons with their brutal looking ships.
 
New ideas aren't bad.  New shows don't replace the shows you already saw and love.  Put each show in their own universe and you'll be happier. Or don't watch it if you don't like it.  Good rules for any fandom really.
 
As for the plot specifics - yes, this finally does 'excuse' Lorca and I really, really, really hope it was the plan all along.  It looks like it. It feels like it.  I just hope it wasn't a writer four or five scripts in and said 'hey, you know what would be cool?'
 
I hope the Empress does keep her word - that she IS a woman of honor like the Prime Georgiou was.  That she is as she was only with the ruthlessness and amorality dialed up to 11. The best mirror episodes play out with the characters being able to see how they could have become their mirrors if their situation was different.
 
I hate her (the point) but I hope they dump L'rell with mirror Voq.  I hope her and infiltrator-Ash's arcs are played out (and that Ash comes back as normal, as I liked him) and she goes away.   I liked the traditional Klingon death yell as she 'killed' Voq in Ash and hope it's not another trick - but she cracked really, really easily as soon as he was beamed into the cell, so...
 
 
 
 

The husband tries not to swear in real life (his substitute of choice is "Frell" from Farscape), so when he drops an actual F Bomb, I know something's bad for him.

That was the wonderful thing about Ralph, he was in his way, as noble and giving as Superman himself...just minus the skil levels and with a lot of activation rolls *chuckle* 
 
This is not the first time a woman got the suit  of course
The Greatest American Heroine was never aired, but Ralph did hand off the suit to Holly when his identity got public and the aliens insisted
 
 
 
But like LL, I'm a bit dubious on the choice of a jerk for the suit regardless of gender. The writers need to give her some redeeming features from the get go because as fierce as the competition is for superhero fans right now? I'm not going to wait a whole season cheering on someone I dislike.

Actually I have a simple explanation: Mirror Buran did have a Spore Drive.
Remember, there were 2 experts on Sporedrive technology in the Prime Universe. Who says Nr. 2 was not on the Buran doing experients when it happened?
Or maybe it was just a Transporter accident like in TOS?
 
We know for a fact the Mirror Universe experiment with Sporedrive Technology. And mirror Lorca was trusted with the "Empries greatest secrets".

Every generation has its 'detergent pod eaters'.
 
Times have not become more violent.  They've just become more televised.  - Marilyn Manson 

Or how about that time they build a ISS Defiant on Terok Nor, without a proper Drydock, just in the time it took the Regent to organise a counterstrike?

On the flipside, we have people invested in every word uttered by Alex Jones, Ben Shapiro, Richard Spencer, Sean Hannity and so on. They must believe in the maxim "He b!tches, therefore he thinks."

Again, the point is to destroy the U.S. government from within, so that it can't interfere with multinational corporations, oligarchs, and Russia.

I internalise songs for most of my characters or NPCs - and I use them to help keep them 'true' to themselves when faces with a choice.
 
I do tend to reuse them, however, based on archetype.  A few samples:
 
Peaceful Warrior - calm, confident, power at the ready but reluctantly used.  Piccolo's theme - Dragonball Z original dub - Bruce Faulconer 
 
Hidden Power - quiet but with a near perpetual smirk, knowing something that their enemies don't know.  Itching for an excuse to show them what.  Power Tripping - Teenage Monster Magnet
 
Aggressive Warrior - In your face all the time. First to pick a fight, last to leave one .  Brash. Overconfident. Reckless by Judas Priest or Headstrong by Trapt.

I've ended campaigns (from both sides of the screen) by throwing a (what's known in the SRD) Mage's Disjunction spell.   Another TPK I was victim to involved a vampire mage (in a Ravenloft game) casting Anti-Magic shell... like the Black Dragon V fought only much worse.
 
In D&D you can plan all you want but it ultimately usually comes down to:
 
'You've had all night to plan. What do you do?"
 
"Kick in the door and react accordingly!"

Many people on that world are probably complaining that Kasich is the worst president ever. It's all relative, and the human condition could be summarized as, "I think, therefore I b!tch."

And now I'm done with Oreos. 
 
I guess in 76 pages something had to get me eventually.

Last nights episode was the only episode in the series so far that I actively disliked to the point of considering not tuning in any longer if this is how this arc is going to play out.  I found it thoroughly un-enjoyable with Ralph's speech to Joe being the exception:  Even the metahuman of the week subplot felt phoned in.

Yes, but it fits with the movie continuity. Pym told Lang early that the helmet is what helps protect him from the deteriorating madness that infected Yellowjacket, because he didn't have the right technology. It is also why Pym couldn't wear the suit himself, because even with the helmet, the cumulative effect had meant he couldn't.
