Memorable quotes

"Bastard! The Lorca I came up with was measured, he was reasoned. I couldn't have imagined..."
"That Lorca was an impostor from an alternate universe was not the most obvious conclusion. We were all deceived."

Continuity

Admiral Cornwell, in her speech to the Discovery's crew, told them their visit would be the first to Qo'noS since Captain Jonathan Archer and the Enterprise crew first visited Qo'noS "nearly one hundred years ago". Enterprise visited the planet in ENT: "Broken Bow", but since that episode is set slightly more than a century ago, Enterprise must have made an additional visit to the planet between the end of the series and the ship's decommissioning in 2161.
It is revealed that the ISS Discovery was destroyed by Klingons after crossing into the prime universe, trading places with its counterpart. Starfleet has found the debris and presumed it was the USS Discovery.
Starbase 1 is revealed to be one hundred astronomical units from Earth (in the outer Solar system) and now under Klingon control. A Starbase 1 was previously seen in Earth orbit in the alternate reality. Three starships were lost and several senior Starfleet officers were killed when they took the starbase.
The Federation Council allows the mirror Emperor Philippa Georgiou to assume the identity of her prime universe counterpart to lead a strike against the Klingon homeworld to end the war.
The Klingon homeworld Qo'nos is revealed to be a series of caves, one even large enough to hold a Crossfield-class starship like the USS Discovery. In the mirror universe, Qo'nos is a blackened ruin.
It was stated that in the mirror universe the Terran Empire controls more territory than the Federation and has explored further than they have dared.
Starfleet highly classifies all information on the Discovery's visit to the mirror universe. This could explain how the mirror Jonathan Archer could find no information on the Terran Empire in the USS Defiant's 2268 database, meaning the Halkan incident was also so classified by Starfleet, though at some point it was declassified as Bashir told Kira he read about Kirk's crossover at Starfleet Academy, as stated in DS9: "Crossover".
