It's kind of funny that this big reveal happened while Discovery is sitting in the territory of another famously mysterious species, the Tzenkethi.
Understandable, but this is better than your average screenrant content.

It was a pretty big red flag when they announced that every episode this season would be 1701 minutes long...
There was also the stuff in this episode about "two faces," one of which they say they have evolved past (or whatever their phrasing was). The Breen of this time could be a little more complicated than the Breen of the DS9 era. I assume we'll learn more about what that's all about later this season.
Does the problem that Georgiou had due to the drift between the two universes not effect the ship?
Probably not - it sounds like it didn't actually travel through time the way Georgiou did - it just sat derelict in the wormhole for a few hundred years.
I mean, was Burnham so incurious about mirror Spock that she never checked the records?
I don't think that's far-fetched - I probably wouldn't be Space Googling the alternate versions of my loved ones.
As for it being the Enterprise...I guess it's to give us a bit of closure regarding Spock's rebellion. Personally, I think it would've been fun to have seen the modified version of the Defiant that was teased in season one.
I thought that one was...fine. A perfectly acceptable unit of Star Trek.
I probably would have found it more interesting if Moll and L'ak had been the main protagonists of the episode, spending more time with them on the Enterprise in addition to their flashbacks, with Book and Burnham as the antagonists of the story.
On the other hand, I enjoyed Rayner's B plot, so maybe not.
Edit: and pour one out for our man Rhys, famous Constitution class fan who doesn't get to go on the mission to deliver the Enterprise to Federation HQ.
If chronophages are outlawed, only outlaws will have chronophages.
I didn't think it was excessive, but I suppose I've never abandoned a place for thirty years.
He has the Divine Ears, he gets to be captain. He didn't make the rules.
Any time the Tzenkethi aren't on screen, the characters should be saying, "where are the Tzenkethi?"
Note: The Tzenkethi will never be on screen.
