Spoiler!
In spite of the decidedly non-Trek idea of people consciously interacting with another person's soul, we got a pay off with Frain being cast as Sarek. They needed someone with his grave mien to pull off a Vulcan struggling against emotion in order to act 'logically' and I think he did a great job of that. Further, Martin-Green has done a good job showing Burnham's loosening up and becoming more 'human.'
Story wise.. Well, Lorca is either the disguised form of Voq the albino acolyte of T'Kuvma or he's so balls deep into PTSD and anchored to the idea that he has to be the captain to win the war with the Discovery that he just abandoned a former **** buddy and superior officer to the Klingons. Ash is likable but he's also the most likely candidate to be the disguised / brainwashed Voq so it's kind of tough to buy in to any of his character development moments. Tilly's been good so far as well and is the medium to show that the writers have adopted more "realistic" dialogue first with the F-bomb last week and the banter between her and Ash in the shuttle.
Dunno what the payoff with Stamets is considering his Tommy Chong-esque mood after exposure to the Sporenet and the delayed mirror image of him from the prior episode. Next Sunday it looks like they're going to rehash TNG's "Cause and Effect" with a timeloop plot which isn't too appetizing considering all of the rehashing ENT did but we shall see.
