x 2 - Battle at the Binary Stars:
A very good follow-up to the first episode The Vulcan Hello in fact I found it to be the better of the first two episodes.
There is a flashback from seven years before in which Michael and her foster father Sarek came onboard the Shenzhou for the first time and meet Captain Georgiou.
Despite being human Michael was Vulcan in her manner having been raised by the Vulcan Sarek and remarkable since then how much she has de-Vulcanised.
In the midst of the excitement of the battle between Federation and Klingon ships, Michael is held in incarceration for mutiny and fascinating the thoughts that went through during this time.
Thrilling when Georgiou and Michael fight against Klingons but sadly the captain gets killed here.
Tragic thatMichael gets a life sentence for mutiny.
Remarkable that despite being the second episode and the series subtitle that the Discovery has not yet shown up in the series.

Star Trek: Discovery - 1 x 3 - Context is for Kings:
The Discovery and Captain Lorca finally appear as the series jumps six months after the Battle at the Binary Stars and Michael on a prison transfer arrives on the Discovery.
Quite tense how Michael got received by the Discovery crew.
Somewhat plot convenient that Michael finds a couple of her former colleagues on the Shenzhou on the Discovery including Saru as First Officer.
Funny when Michael meets Sylvia Tilly with the latter saying that Michael Burnham is the only other female Michael that she knows of before realising that she is her.
Exciting part
