I'm not sure what's going to happen regarding Prime Lorca and Mirror Michael.

What's more...

Spoiler
Mirror Stamets was released from his coma thanks to Prime Stamets. I think restoring the Mycelial Network - something that the corruption is killing - might have far more grave consequences on. Additionally, I suspect that Prime Lorca really did die; I think that the Emperor will kill Mirror Lorca, and that the Emperor will be killed by Prime Michael, thus doubly staining her hands with blood.
I foresee Prime Michael dancing on the trauma conga line throughout the whole second season.
I was just trying to come up with something that would allow them to believably keep Lorca around without them having to keep Mirror Lorca around.

Spoiler
I might have read the scene wrong, but I got the impression that Stamets and Mirror Stamets got body-swapped.

Could be, But I don't think so. Mirror Stamets said "he did it" when he woke up. And regular Stamets mentoned Culber but I don't think mirror Stamets knew who that was.

The scene is explicitly shot using film language to convey precisely this. However, it was apparently an accident according to the actor, and is not what happened.

On the whole it's a good implementation, although the variant that uses "color=transparent" is annoying since you have to click the "Quote" button and log in just to read the comment. Setting the color to off-white instead is much better, since it lets you read the comment just by dragging the mouse over it to highlight it.

I can see this just fine when I highlight it by selecting it.

This thread is already full of spoilers and has spoilers in the title now, it's okay to avoid tags.

Also, makes it hell to read on my phone :)
Thread ends here. Cut along dotted line.

He's in the network right? They can't just get rid of him once he becomes the best character right? right?
