Glad you are also having this thought process.

I’m also looking forward to some really chewy, crunchy stuff, like – well, I mean, Michael and Lorca are going to have Michael and Georgiou’s conversation backwards, right?

“Don’t you think saving the life of this crew - of Tilly, of Stamets, of your friends, of everyone in the Federation – is more important?”

“… no. It can’t be. We’re Starfleet. We come in peace.”

Choose Your Captain, Michael Burnham.

Lorca’s building a little army of people who owe him favours and placing them in influential positions throughout his ship, so that when the time comes to go rogue, he can trust that they’ll do what he says.

He should never have picked a mutineer.
