Top Comments of this video!! :3
I wish they had paid off Book's question about what the Mirror Universe Spock was like. Because I think when Burnham says that he was probably just as vicious as the others it would've been nice at the end of the episode for her to look into the ship's records and see that the Mirror Spock actually tried to bring peace and help people. I think that would've been a really touching scene similar to the one in Unification III.

Sean, I am from Taiwan and a long time fan of Trek Culture. I always go to watch Ups and Downs after each Trek episode. Thank you so much for all of you and Trek Culture team!
There is one thing I would like to mention: They change the opening credit each week to show new pieces of the clue added to the circle. Very nice little detail! Kudos to the Star Trek Discovery production team 🖖🖖🖖

An extra up for me was the way Raynor is becoming the Jack O'Neal of Discovery. It made me grin when the science team were getting deep into the nuts and bolts of the technobabble and he was just saying 'I don't care, just figure it out and tell me what to do'. TNG in particular sometimes had this weird habit of every single officer seeming to know huge amounts of super-advanced science that had nothing to do with their actual job, so it's refreshing to have a more straightforward character in there.

21:14 I would argue that the ISS Enterprise becoming a rescue ship that carried hopeful people looking for something better is something being done with it. It is proof that Mirror Spock’s revolution had an effect and helped people, even if the Alliance came and ruined it all, and it fulfills Mirror Saru’s potential to rise above

I'm a Singaporean. We're famous for our Hainanese Chicken Rice, which is delicately boiled chicken with rice cooked in chicken stock. Back when I was in college, I had an African flat mate. One day, she saw me making Hainanese Chicken Rice in the kitchen and she just exclaimed in her distinctly Afrikan accent, "What are you doing?! Are you BOILING chicken?" She shuddered in horror and quickly left the kitchen.

I have 4 super nitpicky Downs for the episode, and 1 nitpicky down for Seán. First the episode ones:
1.) They have Asha asking "What is that?" in regards to a wormhole. Why on Bajor's fourth moon would you give that line to a Bajoran? Why not give it to Gallo? Presuably Gallo doesn't come from a world where a wormhole has massive historical, cultural, and religious significance like Asha does. That just struck me as a bizzare choice.
2.) Rhys saying that they will replace a photon torpedo's payload with antimatter. A photon torpedo's payload IS antimatter. It's a matter/antimatter warhead. Again, this makes no sense.
3.) Stamets asks "Is that the ISS Enterprise?!" when it is far enough away that he should only be able to see that it's a Constitution Class. Bit of a jump, Paul.
4.) If Dr Cho went back to the ISS Enterprise to hide the clue and wound up living there a bit, then it really is staggeringly unlikely she wouldn't have brought other items made in the Prime Universe with her, just on the basis of convenience. Ship, fuel, air, food... all more likely locally sourced than not.
Ok, now my Down for Seán:
You said that the fact that they picked up 3 signatures in Sickbay: Moll, L'ak and the clue indicated that the clue is organic. It indicated no such thing. All matter from the Prime Universe, organic or inorganic, should have that specific quantum resonance that differentiates it from the matter of the Mirror Universe vessel they were in.
But, your Down gets erased for calling that Sickbay feature "M'Benga's Murder Wall."

When Rayner says, "why hexagonal?" And Stamets responds, "doesn't matter, it will work." Rayner made a "fair enough" face, since he's the one who doesn't need to know how the cake is boiled.
