Episode 5.5 "Mirrors" Discussion Thread

Another good one. I liked the background story of La'ak and Moll. Is this the first time they show a Breen face? I mean, ever on Trek? My lore is rusty on the Breen. The two identities merged into one being is rich and it should be explored more on novels. I hope the script give us more on Moll and not leave it there with bitter abandoned daughter trope. 

 

I am kind of used to the idea of DSC being always preachy about emotions and feeling. Sometimes before it wore me down with all thee characters oddly babbling on their feelings. But as of now I see this as a branding thing. This is DSC storytelling DNA, it is how we recognize it as something rather than anything or whatever. Rayner character is kind of molding himself into that premise, the story probe him with these emo cues and he try to squirm himself out of them but the cues win him over; is actually kind of funny when you look at it from certain angle. Anyway, I am not fighting, I am accepting and enjoying what I am watching.
