lizbeeThough "Lethe" was the episode where Kat Cornwell walked into my head (where she remains, despite all attempts to evict her), my actual favourite Disco episode is "The War Without, The War Within".
It's the closest thing we get to a Katcentric episode (the perils of attaching oneself to a mere recurring character), and also a pretty chilling look at the Federation on the brink of collapse: Kat is vapourising fortune cookies; Sarek's so stressed out he's becoming an empathetic and supportive parent.
It also gives us the "I don't have to tell you it's the middle of the night" scene, for everyone who wants to ship Michael with an older female authority figure but found her relationship with Georgiou too overtly maternal. AND Kat meets Emperor Georgiou. Or, for the hetshippers, there's her claim that prime!Lorca was "reasoned" and "measured"; to which I say, FOOTAGE NOT FOUND.
Some stuff also happens that involves other characters, and it's all great (okay, I take issue with Tilly's attitude towards Michael and Ash, but it makes sense for her character), AND L'Rell has her second big scene with Kat -- OH NO I'm talking about Kat again. This is what it's like living in my head, it's very dull.
