* EvilCannotComprehendGood: This trope ultimately dooms Lorca and his coup. Not only did he completely and utterly misjudge Burnham's true nature, as Burnham pointed out, he misjudged ''Starfleet-Prime's'' true nature, as they would have helped him get back to the right universe had he not played impostor. Instead, the woman he dragged out of jail ruined his coup and indirectly caused his death, and the crew he manipulated killed his surviving loyalists.

-->'''Saru:''' It is well-known that my species has the ability to sense the coming of death. ''I do not sense it today.'''' I may not have all the answers. However, I do know that I am surrounded by a team I trust -- the finest a captain could ever hope to command. Lorca abused out idealism. Make no mistake: ''Discovery'' is no longer Lorca's. She is ours. And today will be her maiden voyage. We have a duty to perform, and we will not accept a no-win scenario.
