We are Boring. You will be assimilated or something. Resistance is futile, but whatever.
I have no strong feelings about this one way or the other.

A former US surgeon general says he went to the ER for dehydration and ended up with a $5,000 bill. He called the healthcare system 'broken.'

I've worked in hospital systems since I graduated from college. There has been one meeting (out of all the meetings!) that I have absolutely never forgotten due to something that was brought up.
They thought it was super cool to talk about how much cash our new surgical center was bringing in. I know it was small in the scheme of things, but in my head a hospital should be super happy when they don't have to perform surgery on a person. They shouldn't be happy to perform surgery so that they can make money.

This hits very close to home. I’m completely different around people I know well.

DISCO S5 has been phenomenal
I've seen a lot of disagreement but I agree with you.
When Discovery was first announced, I thought the Crossfield class ship was the ugliest thing I had ever seen. At this point in time, I can't believe we only have two episodes to go. I've become more attached to Discovery than I was with Voyager. It is probably wishful thinking, but I hope we see Discovery and her crew once in a while in the Starfleet Academy show, maybe a straight to Paramount+ movie in a few years.
I really enjoyed season one and the ending to season 4 is probably my most favorite set of episodes in all of Star Trek. I feel like the shows wings are getting clipped right after they grew.

I always thought the planet was Angel I, but it is actually Rubicun III in the episode “Justice”.

There are a lot of people here that aren't able to leave. I generally don't like when people trot out this line.

OSM > Google Maps

I contribute a bit and as far as I know the only editor that lets you upload pictures is MapComplete, but even then what you can upload them for is very limited. I do not believe OSM actually has an image database. The pictures I’ve uploaded are all stored on Imgur.

Seeing Discovery firing weapons in the distance while heading towards the dreadnought from the perspective of the dreadnought’s shuttle bay … I just loved that.

I was hoping that we would get a Calypso reference when that music started playing. Oh well. I still felt the episode was a super fun ride.

I enjoyed this episode immensely and was on the edge of my seat for most of it. I thought Burnham’s plan to fool the Breen was pretty ingenious.
I’ve also found my new favorite place in the Trek universe. Imagine getting to explore that library.

I'm not sure exactly what I thought was going to be behind the mid 20th century vault door, but it certainly wasn't Wesley Crusher. I didn't hate it either. Was the sweater that he was wearing one that he wore in TNG? It seemed very familiar.
The Loom are terrifying. We've seen "getting erased completely from history" before with the Krenim time weapon (VOY: Year of Hell), but this version seemed so much worse to me.
I loved the bit regarding all the separate realities, including the "oops you aren't supposed to know that" regarding the mycelial plane.
Seeing Janeway take on the Loom by herself in a shuttle reminded me of her taking on the macrovirus in VOY: Macrocosm.

I am going to miss this show. My barometer for trek finales is Endgame and I would say I liked this one much better.

I would begrudgingly accept a novel series like we got with Voyager post getting back to Earth. I know we are getting Star Fleet Academy, but I want this time in the universe to be greatly expanded on.

Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Discovery | 5x05 "Mirrors"
I really enjoyed this episode. It was nice knowing that the scientists from the mirror universe were able to make it to Starfleet.
I am curious about the ISS Enterprise however. Does the problem that Georgiou had due to the drift between the two universes not effect the ship? Outside of wear and tear from sitting in that nebula, it looked fine.

What a ride these two episodes were.
A few of my favorite moments:
I do have a question though. I have been getting "these two people seem to want to get together vibes" in between Chakotay and Janeway starting in the episode "Cracked Mirror". Was this just wishful thinking on my part?
Speaking of relationships, were holo-Janeway and the Doctor flirting?

I will say that the Voyager-A is a beautiful ship and I hope we get to see more of her.

I want to make sure that I understood what was happening in the scene where the turbo lift door opens and they see an alternate reality... Those were the Enderprizians from "All the World's a Stage", right?
Since we never got a mirror universe episode in Voyager (not counting "Living Witness"), I enjoyed Mulgrew and Beltran getting to give us a quick glimpse of what it would have been like.
I loved the callback from Chakotay regarding the events from the VOY episode "Shattered".
