The Voq/Tyler thing was hinted so hard earlier that it wasn't exactly a shock when it was revealed this episode. I wonder if it would have worked better if we saw less from outside Burnham's perspective though since it is clearly a shock to her. The Georgiou as Emperor thing was really cool even this time though. The shock on Burnham's face would probably have given away to the Emperor that something really odd was going on, but my recollection is she isn't aware of the mirror universe at this point.
We are really starting to move the story forward this episode. Burnham gets assigned the job of killing the head of the resistance but instead beams down to meet with them. The Sarek mind meld thing was really cool and is presumably the entire reason they wrote her character to be his adopted daughter from the beginning. The Voq/Tyler/Voq interaction was less interesting and it isn't clear to me why he would stop at all. I mean, I understand why mirror Voq does what he does, but prime Voq seems kinda out of character. Fortunately we largely resolve that storyline in time for the next big jump. That is something I really appreciate about this season of Disco is they do a great job spreading the pay off out instead of doing it all in the last two or so episodes.
My comments above probably make it clear that I think this is a better than its immediate peers type episode. Not perfect, but some memorable moments and it has Michelle Yeoh so that is definitely worth a point more than the previous one.
