Summary Star Trek: Discovery season 5 brings back the Mirror Universe's ISS Enterprise with a male computer voice.

Captain Burnham and Booker discovered the derelict ISS Enterprise in interdimensional space and brought it back to the Prime Universe.

The USS Enterprise's voice is female, but it's male in the Mirror Universe.

Star Trek: Discovery season 5 brought back the Mirror Universe's ISS Enterprise and mirrored the change Star Trek: The Original Series made to the Enterprise's computer. Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and Cleveland Booker (David Ajala) found the derelict ISS Enterprise in interdimensional space and piloted it back to Star Trek's Prime Universe. The Mirror Universe's Enterprise in Star Trek: Discovery is the same ship introduced, along with the Mirror Universe, in Star Trek: The Original Series' classic episode "Mirror, Mirror". Naturally, the ISS Enterprise's computer is the opposite of the USS Enterprise's computer in both series.

On his X, Jörg Hillebrand (@gaghyogi49), who was a researcher for Star Trek: Picard season 3, pointed out that the ISS Enterprise in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 5, has a male computer voice, just like the ISS Enterprise does in Star Trek: The Original Series' "Mirror Mirror." This is a 'mirror reversal' of the USS Enterprise's computer, whose female voice was provided by Majel Barett-Roddenberry. Check out the post below:

John Winston voiced the ISS Enterprise computer in Star Trek: The Original Series, and Barnaby Carpenter provided the ISS Enterprise computer voice in Star Trek: Discovery.
