considering she gets lengthy punishment for it, this is episodic troping

* DesignatedHero: At the end of the episode, [[spoiler:Michael commits mutiny in order to attack a Klingon ship that had so far not overtly threatened the ship]]. Whether it would have stopped a greater conflict or not, it’s pretty much the antithesis of Starfleet ethos, and her actions would probably make her a villain on any other ‘’Star Trek’’ show. And if you saw this episode on live TV and didn’t see the follow up episode on CBS All-Access, you end without any redemption of the character.

* GeniusBonus: Voq burning his own hand to prove he is worthy is probably an allusion to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaius_Mucius_Scaevola Gaius Mucius Scaevola]], who did the same to prove to an enemy king how determined Romans are. Worked in both cases.

The incident with Capt. Georgiou happens at the end of the second episode, not this one.
Deleted line(s) 2 (click to see context) :
** Captain Georgiou has also caught rather a lot of flak. [[spoiler: Towards the end of the episode, she has a bomb planted on a dead Klingon, knowing that T'Kuvma is going to try to formally collect and bury his casualties. This is considered a war crime under modern international conventions.]]

Purple Prose is not YMMV.

* PurpleProse: A common criticism circulating around many major reviews is that it's filled with this: that the dialogue is over-wrought and stilted, but real people don't actually talk like this. ''Arguably'' they may have been trying to do this with Burnham, having her give SpockSpeak ''on purpose'', as she is a human who was raised on Vulcan: ''unlike'' the normal example of that trope, she isn't deadpan but expresses emotions (because she is human), but speaks very verbosely and technically (i.e. when she is praising the beautiful artistry of the Klingon vessel in great detail).

as in main YMMV, not an example, her reasons for doing so are valid
