PR, DarthThor, what do you two thing about Ash Tyler?
As it's now blatantly obvious that Ash Tyler (or who we assume is the real Ash) is a Klingon sleeper agent, but his surgical altering is curious. Is he a really a Klingon and if so, is he Voq? He vanished around the same time Tyler appeared.
Stands to reason they could bring in the and use the Klingon Augment virus story as a means for a Klingon to become very human-like, then surgery (as was noted in the last ep) to turn him into a copy of Starfleet Officer Ash Tyler. Then a memory wipe/implant to top it all off.
As long as they don't go too Kelvin-y, I won't mind them sprucing it up a fair bit.
I've seen a few people say he's Voq, and it wouldn't surprise me if he is, but I dunno. It almost seems too obvious, in a way. I'm expecting them to go in a different direction with it.
There's also a theory going around that it'll be revealed that Lorca himself is from the Mirror Universe, and that his "disappearance" was him coming to the prime universe and replacing the "real" one.
Weird how they made a convincing Human with apparently just surgery? You'd think a simple genetic scan would have revealed the truth. Do expect Ash-Voq to be explained further.
The Tyler thing came out of left field for me, good to see some writers have some guts with moments like that, as long as they follow through with it of course.

Can't say that about this show. It's like chinese food, it's ok when you're eating it, but you aren't going to look back about that fantastic meal you had.

Lorca's not surprising at all, he was from the start not your usual ST Captain. He was shady and you didn't really know where he stood. All in all, I like what they're doing with him.
I'm assuming that since evil Lorca came to the prime universe, the prime universe Lorca went the the mirror, as a trade-off. Wondering if he died as presumed or is still somewhere out there and will make an appearance and possibly take over the Lorca role eventually. Discovery still needs its Captain.
He's the best character on the show, just can't see Starfleet keeping a guy from a parallel universe; one that is build on fear, subjugation and murder, as Captain to one of their ship
MU Lorca tried to overthrow the Emperor, but likely to become Emperor himself. Stands to reason this guy is as cutthroat as any human in his universe.
