In "Choose Your Pain", after leaving the Discovery for a meeting with Star Fleet, Captain Lorca is kidnapped by the Klingons on his return ship. While stuck in the brig, Lorca encounters one Harry Mudd. Burnham learns more about how the "jumps" the Discovery is doing is potentially killing the creature aboard. With Lorca gone though and Saru in charge, Michael's pleas fall on death ears.
The plotting and pacing of this show is a real headscratcher to me. Lorca is captured for all of 3 minutes aboard the Klingon vessel before escaping. And for that matter, how did he get kidnapped? Why did he need a transport to get back to the Discovery? Was he THAT far away? And if so, couldn't they have just jumped to meet him somewhere instead of making him take the bus to get back? I was very confused...
The creature they introduced is already gone. I thought it would be a throughpoint on the season and the ethical dilemma surrounding its use but I guess not. I have a feeling the Klingons are going to find it and try to use it but who knows? Still waiting for an uptick in quality for the show. And please, I'm begging you, leave Mudd out of this! He was awful on TOS and I don't need more of the guy...
