"This ship is not your personal fiefdom! Now I brought mine over so we can have drinks and shag"

Admiral Cornwell can just have her crew and ship go and do whatever she thinks is right but a proven carte blanche vessel under a former lover's command cannot?
Gender puh-leez!
The acting was great but the scene required supposition and a better grounded suspicion.
It's heavily implied that Ash Tyler will be a plant of some type, or will at least be fingered as one in the future, why couldn't Lorca's "Madness" have been hinted at other than something which happens under the bedsheets?

Maybe these days men have to be portrayed as some kind of monsters, especially in terms of sex, because.... well, Because.

That scene with Cornwell and the Klingons was just really odd. She brings 2 dumber-than-bricks-guards to a neutral site to face the Klingons? Did she expect the Klingons to negotiate in good faith?

I thought sending the Admiral was dumb to start with. A big part of their concerns has been the Klingons finding out about Discovery's capability and missions etc. Sarek likely didn't know a whole lot about it, but the Admiral does. Sending her to the Klingons was foolish at best.

Exactly. The admiral, privvy to every Starfleet secret, is now a Klingon prisoner. Sarek probably did not have such knowledge and therefore a less valuable hostage.

Clearly Lorka just didn't want to lose his ship, the Admiral can hardly follow up on her complaint against him if she's in Worf's grandad's gulag.
