* IdiotBall: Kol proves to be tactically astute when he realizes the ''Discovery'' is up to something with the rapid jumping and that the proper course of action is to temporarily withdraw to figure out what's going on, as Lorca himself notes. He promptly forgets all that when Burnham shows up and challenges him, although there's absolutely no reason why he can't follow his original plan of breaking away ''and'' dealing with Burnham at the same time.
