It looks like this season is building towards an exciting climax. Osyraa and her gang aren't the most impressive bad guys, but they did manage to surprise me a little here. Bringing back the jerk from earlier in the season was a good move, but mostly it felt like Osyraa's idea to forge a new Federation seemed like a not-completely-terrible idea... for a few moments, at least. The admiral did a great job opposite her.
Putting aside the fun of Burnham going all John McClane, the moment in this one which really struck a chord with me was what happened between her and Stamets. His screaming, "we came to the future for you!" felt like a real slap to the face, and hopefully a wake up call for her. I find her character fascinating but it's a constant battle because her priorities and ideas (while often admirable) seem to always be misplaced. I keep waiting for her to learn from her mistakes - this season has improved her quite a bit but there are further steps to go.
