Star Trek: Discovery - Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2

Literally an hour of explosions, fights and people being ridiculously dramatic. It was incredibly boring. You could skip this episode (and the previous one) and just assume you know what happens - because you do.

My god it's full of plot holes!
Michael and the Discovery crew go to the future (but we don't see where they end up or how the Discovery winds up hanging around for 1000 years before that guy shows up in Calypso - I guess that's being saved for next season). Spock ends up back on the Enterprise. They put the Klingon spy in charge of the new, improved Section 31. And Georgiou somehow kills Control, rendering the whole plan pointless? I think? Honestly I have no idea what happened there, she was fighting him and trapped him in Stamets's spore chamber and then she did a thing and he seemed to die. And then they went to the future anyway.

"I'm... dying I guess? Somehow?"
Admiral whatsername who's been hanging around for some reason died, but she's the only one. Saru's sister showed up because I guess she's a fighter pilot now, somehow. L'Rell showed up because Voqler asked her to and I guess the Klingons are OK with that? Spock shaved his beard. And there was a throwaway line about how Discovery, the spore drive, and all its crew are now super-duper-secret-double-classified which explains why there are no spore drives in the canonically later shows and why Spock never once mentioned having a sister. And everyone can just pretend that nothing in the last two seasons ever happened.

"Why'd you shave the beard, Spock?" "Because Leonard Nimoy didn't have one."
