"How much more can you pack into an episode???" – The internet reacts to Star Trek Discovery episode 13

Welp. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Trek Discovery episode 13 was a wild ride. At the risk of sounding like a broken record every week: Watch. This. Show. Seriously. For those of you who haven’t caught up (or haven’t even boarded the Discovery yet, for shame!) then there are big spoilers in the Tw𝓀itter rea🉐ctions below. So make like a parallel universe and split.
Where do I start? Mirror Lorca and Mirror Stamets both seemingly died (as did the Emperor); we got one of the best hand-to-hand fistfights this side of Daredevil and – here’s the kicker – the USS Discovery made it home… 9 months late. Yes, t⛦he Klingons have won the war. All is lost, for now…
Mirror Lorca falls
Star Trek Discovery’s capacity to surprise every week is quite remarkable. Not only did Mirror Lorca die (I think?), he did so in spectacular fashion: he fell into a giant star and, before that, was impaled by Emperor Georgiou in a scene resembling her own mirror ♛self’s death. Poetic..
So Lorca is gone. Emperor Georgiou does not play either. 𒁏#StarTrekDiscovery @startrekcbs #AfterTrekꦑ #EmperorGeorgiou #Shook pic.twitter.com/mpUxqNDkkg

Yes yes. Me me. I've kicked꧂ the bucket, I've shuffled off my mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible. I. Am. An. Ex. Captain.Captain's costume for sale. Size XS. Fits bloody nobody. //t.co/CcV3d2BHzZ
Lorca: "It's poetic jus𒁃tice, don't you think? A scientist destroyed by his own creation. Just kidding. I hate poetry."Me: Buh bye Lorca...@SonequaMG @jasonsfolly #MichelleYeoh #Discovery #StarTrek #StarTrekDiscovery #AfterTrek pic.twitter.com/dDzKDzd6ET
Mirror Stamets, we hardly knew ye
Is Stamets gone too? This is reaching Game of Thrones-levels of beloved bodycounts, people. Mirror Stamets seemed to be cooking up something nefarious last week and now, just like that, he’s gone. The Mirror Universe giveth, the Mirror Universe taketh away▨💫.
can i just say that i LOVE the fact that Mirrorverse Stamets wears ~evil leather gloꦍves~ pic.twitter.com/t6LWND6xBj
So long evil Stamets, we barely knew you#StarTrekDiscovery #W🎶h🐓atsPastIsPrologue
If you can't accept me at my Mirror Stam𝐆ets then you don't deserve me at my Staꦦmets #StarTrekDiscovery
Time for change
This episode almost acted as a season finale and soft reboot all wrapped into one – and we’ve still got two episodes left! Good thing, too. Th🌠e dilemma that reared its ugly head at the end of the episode won’t go away easily: the Discovery returned to its own universe, only to be met by news that they’d arrived home 9 months after they left and that the Klingons have won the war. For Voq’s sake.
Gone for 9 months and the Federation is so useless that the🦋y lost the war #StarTrekDiscovery
This week's #StarTrekDiscovery was a beautiful, strongly executed wrap-up to the Mirrorverse component. I'm excited to sജee how they handle the conclusion of th🐠e Federation-Klingon War
That said I'm burnt out on the Klingon silliness and not particularly excited to go🍨 back to it, but willing to give the benefit of the doubt. Hope this gets wrapped up and we get a clean slate next season #StarTrekDiscovery
What now?? We have L‘ Rell, a murderer Klingon sleeper agent who is human again(??) &🥂; an evil ex-emperor from the MU in a universe 9 mos 2 late where the Klingons won #StarTrekDiscovery #AfterTrek

Leave it to Twitter to deal in small, possibly insignificant details. A green spore landed on Tilly’s shoulder as they finally returned home. I’m pretty sure the spores aren&r🃏squo;t meant to be luminous green. Merely symbolic? Or something more, perhaps? Watch this space.
How come no one is talking about that drop of mycelial spore that fell on Tilly's shoulder and entered her body? Or was it a spore? Or was it an alien? Or maybe it was Lorca in spore form?! What or who is it??!@may_wise #StarTrekDiscovery #StarTrek #AfterTrek @🌠jasonsfolly pic.twitter.com/ZgeY7OzEtw
The best (Star Trek) show in a long, long time?
It’s early days but, yeah, it could well be. Knee-jerk reactions are always the order of the day when something new and brilliant comes along, so time will tell. Having said that, immediate bias may give way to people waking up to this instant classic of a show. Please tell your friends.
