I agree with WarWagr. The characterization of Burnham seems inconsistent at times. It has nothing to do with the character's skin color. It's the writing. Similarly, the resolution of Dr. Culber's arc after he died was disappointing. He's struggling with a profound existential experience, but a couple sarcastic remarks by Jett Reno and hey, it's all cool. Notaro though is awesome. She should be getting more screen time.
Michael being all over the place is deliberate; it's not a scripting error or weak writing. If you track the events that occurred in the character's life, the traumas, loss of parents by Klingons as a child, raised on Vulcan where she had to suppress an undeveloped emotions, going to Starfleet and working among emotional humans while emotionally stunted herself, encountering Klingons again and revisiting the trauma from childhood, then the long road to learning how to deal with human emotions as an adult having skipped that difficult learning stage of adolescence, you end up with someone who is professionally brilliant but emotionally messed up. This is her character arc.
They need a Betazoid captain, mostly because somebody needs to monitor what Burnham is thinking at all times. Just the fact that Sarek's one word of advice before leaving her with Prime!Georgiou was "Behave!" should tell anyone just how much of a handful she has always been.
Considering the nature of the crew, the diplomatic sensitivity of the mission, and the fact of having to explain how Burnham isn't dead, I think the Federation decided they needed to put all their cards on the table in the hopes of trying to get Ni'Var to trust them
@@jeeshadow1 - Agreed. Secrecy and dishonesty would have simply alienated a world that the Federation would very much like to see rejoin someday. Admiral Vance clearly wanted both the data and a new diplomatic opportunity. Opening with a bunch of lies would have ruined that. On the other hand, both Vulcans and Romulans have long histories of keeping information under wraps. Starfleet could probably assume that they wouldn't go around telling the whole galaxy information that was shared in good faith. Even more important, the existence of the spore drive might be a deliberate enticement to convince Ni'Var that the Federation is not as weak as they thought. Discovery jumping to Ni'Var proves that Starfleet can once again cross the galaxy - and thus is back on the playing field.

Coming from a fan, the show gets progressively better so I wouldn't give up because you hate the first couple episodes. I thought the first season was super mediocre, but I really liked the later seasons.
@@markfuston2714 Discovery has the rare distinction of making me LIKE a mirror universe arc. I thought it was really well done in this show, whereas in every other Trek, I've more or less dreaded the very mention of that universe. Plus, it had Emperor Georgiou.
@@ulrek54321Officially, attaching the nacelles with "smart matter" that lets them move a bit in relation to the ship herself improves handling and response speed. It's why all the 32nd-century Fed ships have them. Refitting the _Discovery_ with new nacelles was a big part of hiding the fact that the entire ship is in that spacetime illegally (time travel was outlawed in the 30th century, for good reason, and all records pertaining to it destroyed - according to regs, Vance should have seized the ship and arrested her entire crew when they showed up, but he realized that they needed the DASH drive too badly for that).
@DeaconBlues117 I'm surprised they didn't use the acronym DASH-D more in the show (displacement-activated spore hub drive) Would've been cool to have it as a codename for the drive or something interesting to add to the mystery around the drive near the start of season 1.
@mcslender2965 the main difference is the writing. Discovery focuses too much on Burnham and not enough on the rest of the crew. Strange New Worlds does a much better job of balancing the season story arc with character development. The crew moments feel natural and show how the characters have grown.
Yeah so far I was pretty surprised with his season. Still quite a bit aggressive and full of tension unlike TNG buut it is nice to see a little logic. Hopefully they'll continue that route and not exclude previously built lore.
the vulcans on discovery are less.....vulcan-y, which i guess makes sense given that the galaxy is in shambles and they're reunified with the romulans so they've probably loosened up somewhat on their adherence to surak's philosophy?
Yeah, they go into it a fair bit in this episode. They even have a few Romulan rituals and monastic orders on Ni'Var as well. Re-unification definitely required compromise all around.
Alot of people hate on this TV show but I see it as a great gateway into star trek universe for newbies I know alot of people that had never watched star trek but since watching this have now watched picard and went back and watched older star trek content. The more eyes on star trek the more interested generated put us on a good path for good budget shows/movies that go back to the star trek we love
Never really seen this show before. Most crews would have cut communications, discussed it with the Captain, who likely would have proceeded, but with the backup of all crew members. She's nuts
She’s also spent a year outside of Starfleet, uncovering the mystery without Starfleet oversight. It’s well within context, and this episode explores that as well.
one of the many reasons people hate how Burnham is written. she plays the loose cannon game, gets scolded for being a loose cannon, but the writers always make sure she's the one that's right in the end. its fucking obnoxious
@@VoodooV1 that is consistent in Star Trek. Kirk always was a loose cannon. It seems like people loved him for it. Data was always cheered when he went outside the borders of human expectations. Ro Laren was 100% loose canon and she was loved. Heck, Janeway was pretty wild, but she’s never excoriated like Burnham. I think the character is a great human. She’s pretty awesome!
When I first watched these scenes, of Michael invoking the T’Kal In’Ket, I couldn’t help but shout out loud what I immediately assumed would follow….. “….And then we shall FIGHT TO THE DEATH!!!” 🤣
Not that I personally have a problem with it, I just note the bodies aren't even cold and we already have a minidocumentary on the crash. What a wild modern age we live in.
I just realized how reckless Burnham's being, right now. Starfleet desperately wants Ni'Var back in the Federation but Burnham's totally ignoring the President's warnings. Her inquiry, if done now, would almost certainly cause massive political upheaval. If the relationships between the three factions on Ni'Var really are in bad shape, then her pressing the issue like this, could cause civil war. Driving everyone away from each other. Undoing all of Spock's work! Her list of titles would grow: 1. 1st officer in Starfleet 2. Traitor 3. Citizen of Ni'Var And... 4. Destroyer of Ni'Var! Starfleet pressured the Vulcans to the point, that they truly believed they'd been forced to cause the burn. This injured them to their very core. The guilt for all the deaths, immediate and then those that followed later. The shame that they were capable of such massive blunders. Whole civilizations isolated and left to their own devices. No wonder Vulcan left the Federation! Now, through their top secret, Section 31 weapon of mass destruction, "Michael Burnham", Starfleet can be credited with finishing Vulcan/Ni'Var off! Of course, I realize that the plot of the story needed this to happen, so she would be given the opportunity to impress the President. And in doing so, opens an unexpected avenue to gain what she sought. 😉
First time ever I watch Discovery, and I find it a little weird, I saw a guy putting his hands on to something very strange. And now Spock has another sister. How 's that so? Last time I saw there was a brother of Spock was in that movie "why god needs a ship?"
Well perhaps you should watch the 2 and a half season that lead to this episode, some say that its too different but my opinion is that with the advancments in hollywood it would be irrisponsible not to change up the scenery for something more modern. But anyhow your questions are answered in the show - watch it
Dominik is right - watch the show. This is during the third season. As for Spock, short version is that Michael's parents were killed by Klingons at a scientific outpost; Sarek felt responsible, as he was the commander of the outpost, so he adopted Michael. She was raised alongside Spock. (Spock never discussed it because he never discussed personal matters if he could possibly avoid it - he never even told his captain and best friend that the Vulcan ambassador to the Federation was his father until Jim pressured him to go planetside on Vulcan to visit his parents, while Sarek and Amanda were standing right there.)
@@DeaconBlues117 thanks 🤭 I already watched the show. To be honest, it wasn't as bad as many people said, tho it definitely doesn't fit as a prequel. We are tied to the first incarnation of Trek. Putting Discovery directly in the future of standard oldies goldies instead of "indirectly" into the past would have made more sense, and they ended up precisely there
@@misterlau5246Other than certain stylistic choices, which I mostly chalk up to the fact that Roddenberry simply didn't have the budget for anything like this (see, for example, his statement about the lobster-headed Klingons in ST:TMP), there's nothing in either DSC or SNW that contradicts TOS "canon". For that, you have to watch TOS, which didn't really have a "canon" at all because in the '60s people would have looked at you like you had an extra head if you started arguing about what phasers look like or what the transporter really does.. I'm also uncertain about your claim to have watched DSC, as it's stated several times in dialog (and covered in flashback) that Spock is her adoptive brother, that she was raised by Sarek and Amanda and that she and Spock hadn't spoken in years due to issues from their childhoods. (Vulcans can be stubborn like that - Sarek didn't speak with Spock for almost two decades after Spock decided to join Starfleet instead of attending the Vulcan Science Academy.)
With the Vulcan and Romulan races finally United, they needed to implement a democracy. But they are still traditionalists, so they follow the rules closer.
Its more like combining both their governments & politcal system. No longer the Old Empire from the Romulan but reforming a new with their Vulcan cousins into a new Republic - 1 that was equal & all...
The "more advanced" technology was installed after they arrived in the 32nd century and the ship underwent a major refit. It's massive because the Crossfield-class predates the Constitution-class, so to fit the same amount of technological capability in at the time they needed more space. Your complain is akin to thinking that a clipper ship is more "advanced" than an Iowa-class battleship because the command center takes up the entire poop deck.
Vulcan: We am dum, we am no split Sighunz from cultur. Burnham: Gud. Me am do dum cultur fing. Vulcan: Ohnoes! me am do too! Saru: Dafuq? Burnham: Sighunz! \o/
Neither was Detmer. She kept her console the way it was originally. Other hand, Stamets far preferred that to the old method of sticking long probes up inside both of his arms.
The way I see it, if the writers find it so burdensome to educate themselves about, respect, and build upon the established history and lore that a franchise has meticulously constructed for the fans to have strong emotional ties with the series’ content, then I find it prudent to question why they felt compelled insert their disjointed, spontaneous, incongruous new plot threads into this franchise instead of merely creating their own franchise altogether. Vulcan, Romulus, Kronos, Starfleet, all these fictional entities have had decades of slow expansion of their lore, and the two new series, Picard and DISC, took it upon themselves to deviate so sharply from what was established that they take the time to actively overwrite previous lore that doesn’t fit what they wish to accomplish in the series. Discovery, in the most appropriate metaphor for this disregard of past world-building, quite literally ran away from the problem of not wanting to work with what the series had already laid down by abruptly catapulting the ship and crew into a time where previous shows hadn’t touched upon, so they can feel free to take that plot where they wish, to hell with whatever implications they leave behind for future writers that actually do want to take the time to merge the past and present of Star Trek. To conclude, if these writers have such little faith in their ability to write and expand within the boundaries that exist in the Star Trek mythos, why should the audience at all respect or listen to what they have to write? If they can’t trust their own ability to write or understand what Star Trek is about, why should we?
Thank you, you sum it up perfectly. I would go to say it could be the JJ trek's fault from 2009 onward when the Licence was still in dispute. My guess is most of the people who genuinely like this show grew up in the late 90s, too young to remember Star Trek Enterprise but then became old enough to see the 2009 movie and onward...thinking that is how it is.
That was the most entitled paragraph of hot garbage! YOU don’t get to declare that it’s your way or it’s wrong. Goodness, Star Trek has always tried to consciously break the boundaries of creative stagnation. You just want it to stay the same. That’s just dumbfounding.
@@southernbear736 you would be loud and wrong. These latest show have stood out on their own. I’ve watched all ST shows since Pike was the Captain. Stop being a jerk!
If a vulcan is slightly emotional you know shits gonna go down . I think dead tone would work worse in interplanetary negotiations , also Romulan reintegration could mean vulcans are a bit less constrained
It’s kinda sad out of all the Star Trek series this bridge crew is the only crew that I don’t know their names any except Tilly Micheal and saru it’s sad really even voyager and enterprise had more memorable crew members
As much as I hate the Michael Burnham character, I liked how she was portrayed in this scene. Some of the Vulcan "upbringing" is still there, and she threw a Vulcan trump card at them.
@@Memnon-ro4cl Burnham is obviously one of the best characters in all of Star Trek. That kind of hyperbole sounds like prejudice. Just say you don’t like female, brown, commanders that don’t take ish from anyone. If that was Kirk, kicking butt and taking names, you would call him a badass.
@@guywall5690 It was the most basic character i have ever seen. I love strong characters who have depth to them. No matter male female or whatever. But burnham was a two dimensional cry baby who only lived due to plot armor. The entire series was a shit show . I guess she was a perfect fit for that
Wow now I HAVE to watch this series. Michael is such a Badass!!!! I hope each season is already on Blu-ray and 4K with a Dolby ATMOS Audio Surround Sound Track.
That is an inaccurate statement. The Kelvin timeline exists separately, alongside but differing from the Prime timeline. (They actually discuss this in one of the Kelvin movies.) The reason they stopped making the movies was out of respect for the loss of Anton Yelchin, who played Chekov. (Also the script for the fourth movie spent some time in development hell - for a time, Quentin Tarantino was convinced he was making the next one.)
Raised on Vulcan, goes through trials and tribulations, jumps into the future. 1 year into the future she is sporting hair style from our century and a time when it was impractical. Yeah... tell us about that choice.
While Discovery is a very pretty show, I find many things about it very annoying. Such as the disconcerting back-and-forth camera sway and excessive cuts to different angles.
Remember that TOS episode where Spock had to go to Vulcan, for the pen farr, and ended up having to fight Kirk to the death ? Now that was a good episode. Here we are in the 21st century and Burnham has to go to Vulcan for a debate, in which by an amazing contrivance her mother is a warrior nun/debate team coach who helps her out by not helping her. Yup this is where Star Trek has boldly gone...right up it's own arse.
You guess: Either there was some 5D genetic modification and time traveling granddaughter paradoxing with temporal-closed-loop gene circumvention evolved; or she was adopted. she was adopted ;)
@@Mxyzptlksac ehhh I mean she was acting like a loose cannon so I can see their logic. It's hardly toxicity when chain of command is an important thing in Trek
I am sorry, but i found it cringey when she said "daughter of Sarek" I havent watched any of season 3, it doesnt interest me at all, but saw this clip and well took a peek and cringed out immediately when she said that. But thats just me. I am glad they have a new interface for Stamets to pilot this ship through the network however. Hats off to those who like it
You realize Spock had a brother that was featured in one film like thirty years after TOS, right? He was in one movie, and no one liked him, so everyone forgot about him. But you can keep blahblahblah.
@@ashlynnp.9609 Well everyone forgot about him because he died at the end of that movie (Star Trek V), killed by the "God" he was obsessed with finding at the edge of the universe, who turned out to not be a god after all.
Adopted daughter of Sarek. As for "Mary Sue" go look up the definition. She definitely doesn't fit it, especially in the first season where she was basically on parole after being convicted of starting the Battle of the Binary Stars (not entirely fair, T'kuvma was looking for an excuse to fight and would have taken anything including the _Shenzhou_ just sitting there, but Starfleet needed a scapegoat and she _had_ unquestionably committed mutiny). A Mary Sue is instantly loved by everyone, and any exceptions are quickly proved to be exceptions only for their own venal reasons, but Burnham was regarded with suspicion and hatred by the crew of the _Discovery_ from the moment Lorca brought her aboard (especially by Detmer, who'd been grievously wounded during the battle).
Super Burnham to the rescue.... again 🤦♂️ Serious issues with writing of discovery and the lack of lore being followed. She may as well run whole alpha quadrant.
I wanted to like discovery... Burnham is basically a sociopath who somehow gets away with everything but the show was for the most part good. Then they came up with the burn. THEN they showed us what caused the burn and it kind of retroactively took all the goodwill I had for the show away.
They wanted emotionally damaged Mary Sue character and this is result, not impressive. Rest is bad writing, unstable and unbelievably insubordinate officer permanently going rogue that will be probably executed for treason yet permanently forgiven because there is weird notion of bigger truth that only her can see and everything is justified in final episodes like they all know exactly what they are doing and every BS was part of plan. Georgiou - control arc feel like proper start trek rest is love boat in space with action scenes.
In all the Sci Fi I;ve read in 40 yrs no where were earth women obsessed with braiding their Black hair into extremely long but teeny tiny braids! Vanity to such extreme has no place on a starship
Here's a tip for the people who made this amateurish production, don't put one of your main characters (who has a lot of dialogue) in make-up that stops him expressing emotion.
The Kelvin timeline established that Romulus was destroyed by a Supernova in the Prime Universe, so it's a natural progression of Spock's efforts at Reunification. In order for one subspecies to not be superior over the other and be equals (having "Vulcans" living on Planet Vulcan makes them seem like the dominant species), it makes sense that after bringing in Romulan refugees and establishing equality that they would rename to something less... biased.

But that is a flawed perspective, as science is about understanding the physical universe. It's not supposed to answer spiritual questions, nor is it assumed that the oldest hypothesis must be true by virtue of age, as people commonly assume with religion.
"Oh, fascinating is a word I use for the unexpected."
You know what? Nothing I have seen has made me want to see this show.
This did. Thank you.
2 months later. Sooooo what you thino
i LOVE the charicters of discovery i just hate the Everythign else of discovery
at one point i started a count of every time somthign in s 1 broke established cannon i stopped counting after a while
Coming from a fan, the show gets progressively better so I wouldn't give up because you hate the first couple episodes. I thought the first season was super mediocre, but I really liked the later seasons.
@@markfuston2714 Discovery has the rare distinction of making me LIKE a mirror universe arc. I thought it was really well done in this show, whereas in every other Trek, I've more or less dreaded the very mention of that universe. Plus, it had Emperor Georgiou.
Detached nacelles reattach just before the jump 🖖
I did not notice that, Thank you! :)
Hmmm moving nacelles...voyager? Is that you?
Well would be a bit of an issue if the ship tried to jump but left the nacelles behind.
@@ulrek54321Officially, attaching the nacelles with "smart matter" that lets them move a bit in relation to the ship herself improves handling and response speed. It's why all the 32nd-century Fed ships have them. Refitting the _Discovery_ with new nacelles was a big part of hiding the fact that the entire ship is in that spacetime illegally (time travel was outlawed in the 30th century, for good reason, and all records pertaining to it destroyed - according to regs, Vance should have seized the ship and arrested her entire crew when they showed up, but he realized that they needed the DASH drive too badly for that).
@DeaconBlues117 I'm surprised they didn't use the acronym DASH-D more in the show (displacement-activated spore hub drive)
Would've been cool to have it as a codename for the drive or something interesting to add to the mystery around the drive near the start of season 1.
She just did whatever she wanted without discussing it with command. Lol
As she did since episode one. Its one of the reasons why she is such an unlikeable character.
@@Omega0850idk man Kirk did all kinds of stuff like this and we love him for it
@@Omega0850You find that "unlikeable"? Fascinating. Did you find Kirk and Sisko "unlikeable" as well?
@mcslender2965 the main difference is the writing. Discovery focuses too much on Burnham and not enough on the rest of the crew. Strange New Worlds does a much better job of balancing the season story arc with character development. The crew moments feel natural and show how the characters have grown.
A commander totally sidelining the captain.. yeah, that happens
He's not really really the captain per se.
So this ancient and hallowed Vulcan ritual is....a PhD defence?
I mean.. that tracks..
It's the 32nd century. No doubt the history of the practice stretches back over several centuries.
Gotta love the AMV at the end of the video, top notch editing
A nu Trek episode with talking and diplomacy and no explosions or action... What is this the 90's?
@Blvkk Theres no action scenes in this episode.
Yeah so far I was pretty surprised with his season. Still quite a bit aggressive and full of tension unlike TNG buut it is nice to see a little logic. Hopefully they'll continue that route and not exclude previously built lore.
*looks at ds9 and voyager
Burnham: Read the fine print.
Shouldn't you be at a klan rally or something?!
the vulcans on discovery are less.....vulcan-y, which i guess makes sense given that the galaxy is in shambles and they're reunified with the romulans so they've probably loosened up somewhat on their adherence to surak's philosophy?
Yeah, they go into it a fair bit in this episode. They even have a few Romulan rituals and monastic orders on Ni'Var as well.
Re-unification definitely required compromise all around.
It sounded as if she demanded trial by combat.
The intellectual equivalent, yes.
I'll say it that planetary defense system we needed yesterday.
Something we continuously have to deal with. Small minds!
that sure is a speedy jump
Yup, 23rd century bleeding edge science combined with 32nd century tech advancements.
Alot of people hate on this TV show but I see it as a great gateway into star trek universe for newbies I know alot of people that had never watched star trek but since watching this have now watched picard and went back and watched older star trek content. The more eyes on star trek the more interested generated put us on a good path for good budget shows/movies that go back to the star trek we love
No, it means the new budged will be allocated to shows like this one, not to the Star Trek we love.
@@Omega0850eh. DSC was my gateway Trek show, now I enjoy it alongside TOS, TNG and also newer ones like SNW or LD.
'alot' is not a word.
The unexpected loud music at the end will ensure that I never watch anything else from New Up.
Never really seen this show before.
Most crews would have cut communications, discussed it with the Captain, who likely would have proceeded, but with the backup of all crew members.
She's nuts
She’s also spent a year outside of Starfleet, uncovering the mystery without Starfleet oversight. It’s well within context, and this episode explores that as well.
one of the many reasons people hate how Burnham is written. she plays the loose cannon game, gets scolded for being a loose cannon, but the writers always make sure she's the one that's right in the end. its fucking obnoxious
@@VoodooV1 that is consistent in Star Trek. Kirk always was a loose cannon. It seems like people loved him for it. Data was always cheered when he went outside the borders of human expectations. Ro Laren was 100% loose canon and she was loved. Heck, Janeway was pretty wild, but she’s never excoriated like Burnham. I think the character is a great human. She’s pretty awesome!
When I first watched these scenes, of Michael invoking the T’Kal In’Ket, I couldn’t help but shout out loud what I immediately assumed would follow…..
“….And then we shall FIGHT TO THE DEATH!!!”
🤣
"We will use the old ways." - Darkseid
Not that I personally have a problem with it, I just note the bodies aren't even cold and we already have a minidocumentary on the crash.
What a wild modern age we live in.
Whatever else Discovery is, it is not Star Trek. That goodness for the Picard series. It captures some of the old flavor of the Star Trek universe.
I hope for the sake of all her logic will be inescapable so that the truth will be brought to light.
Eh, "inescapable" turned out to be a bit of a stretch. Things turned out all right in the end, though.
I just realized how reckless Burnham's being, right now. Starfleet desperately wants Ni'Var back in the Federation but Burnham's totally ignoring the President's warnings. Her inquiry, if done now, would almost certainly cause massive political upheaval.
If the relationships between the three factions on Ni'Var really are in bad shape, then her pressing the issue like this, could cause civil war. Driving everyone away from each other.
Undoing all of Spock's work!
Her list of titles would grow:
1. 1st officer in Starfleet
2. Traitor
3. Citizen of Ni'Var
And...
4. Destroyer of Ni'Var!
Starfleet pressured the Vulcans to the point, that they truly believed they'd been forced to cause the burn. This injured them to their very core. The guilt for all the deaths, immediate and then those that followed later. The shame that they were capable of such massive blunders. Whole civilizations isolated and left to their own devices.
No wonder Vulcan left the Federation!
Now, through their top secret, Section 31 weapon of mass destruction, "Michael Burnham", Starfleet can be credited with finishing Vulcan/Ni'Var off!
Of course, I realize that the plot of the story needed this to happen, so she would be given the opportunity to impress the President. And in doing so, opens an unexpected avenue to gain what she sought. 😉
First time ever I watch Discovery, and I find it a little weird, I saw a guy putting his hands on to something very strange.
And now Spock has another sister. How 's that so? Last time I saw there was a brother of Spock was in that movie "why god needs a ship?"
Well perhaps you should watch the 2 and a half season that lead to this episode, some say that its too different but my opinion is that with the advancments in hollywood it would be irrisponsible not to change up the scenery for something more modern.
But anyhow your questions are answered in the show - watch it
Dominik is right - watch the show. This is during the third season. As for Spock, short version is that Michael's parents were killed by Klingons at a scientific outpost; Sarek felt responsible, as he was the commander of the outpost, so he adopted Michael. She was raised alongside Spock. (Spock never discussed it because he never discussed personal matters if he could possibly avoid it - he never even told his captain and best friend that the Vulcan ambassador to the Federation was his father until Jim pressured him to go planetside on Vulcan to visit his parents, while Sarek and Amanda were standing right there.)
@@DeaconBlues117 thanks 🤭 I already watched the show.
To be honest, it wasn't as bad as many people said, tho it definitely doesn't fit as a prequel. We are tied to the first incarnation of Trek. Putting Discovery directly in the future of standard oldies goldies instead of "indirectly" into the past would have made more sense, and they ended up precisely there
@@misterlau5246Other than certain stylistic choices, which I mostly chalk up to the fact that Roddenberry simply didn't have the budget for anything like this (see, for example, his statement about the lobster-headed Klingons in ST:TMP), there's nothing in either DSC or SNW that contradicts TOS "canon". For that, you have to watch TOS, which didn't really have a "canon" at all because in the '60s people would have looked at you like you had an extra head if you started arguing about what phasers look like or what the transporter really does..
I'm also uncertain about your claim to have watched DSC, as it's stated several times in dialog (and covered in flashback) that Spock is her adoptive brother, that she was raised by Sarek and Amanda and that she and Spock hadn't spoken in years due to issues from their childhoods. (Vulcans can be stubborn like that - Sarek didn't speak with Spock for almost two decades after Spock decided to join Starfleet instead of attending the Vulcan Science Academy.)
Is Ni'Var adopted the government style of the Federation?
With the Vulcan and Romulan races finally United, they needed to implement a democracy. But they are still traditionalists, so they follow the rules closer.
@@lumberluc Very true.
Its more like combining both their governments & politcal system. No longer the Old Empire from the Romulan but reforming a new with their Vulcan cousins into a new Republic - 1 that was equal & all...
The bridge is massive, the technology FAR more advanced. Some prequel series, rme............................=)
The "more advanced" technology was installed after they arrived in the 32nd century and the ship underwent a major refit. It's massive because the Crossfield-class predates the Constitution-class, so to fit the same amount of technological capability in at the time they needed more space. Your complain is akin to thinking that a clipper ship is more "advanced" than an Iowa-class battleship because the command center takes up the entire poop deck.
Daughter of Sarek, Sister of Spock 🤣
T'Kal-in-Ket = Double Secret Probation

Burnham: Gud. Me am do dum cultur fing.
Vulcan: Ohnoes! me am do too!

Daughter of Sarek, sister of Spock……….. that is cool!
When will we be cured of STD?! 🤣🤣🤣
Tickled and cat?
Yeah, the "old custom" is just a PhD thesis defense.
Still not feeling sticking your fingers in slime as a way of controlling a Starship
Neither was Detmer. She kept her console the way it was originally. Other hand, Stamets far preferred that to the old method of sticking long probes up inside both of his arms.
The way I see it, if the writers find it so burdensome to educate themselves about, respect, and build upon the established history and lore that a franchise has meticulously constructed for the fans to have strong emotional ties with the series’ content, then I find it prudent to question why they felt compelled insert their disjointed, spontaneous, incongruous new plot threads into this franchise instead of merely creating their own franchise altogether. Vulcan, Romulus, Kronos, Starfleet, all these fictional entities have had decades of slow expansion of their lore, and the two new series, Picard and DISC, took it upon themselves to deviate so sharply from what was established that they take the time to actively overwrite previous lore that doesn’t fit what they wish to accomplish in the series. Discovery, in the most appropriate metaphor for this disregard of past world-building, quite literally ran away from the problem of not wanting to work with what the series had already laid down by abruptly catapulting the ship and crew into a time where previous shows hadn’t touched upon, so they can feel free to take that plot where they wish, to hell with whatever implications they leave behind for future writers that actually do want to take the time to merge the past and present of Star Trek.
To conclude, if these writers have such little faith in their ability to write and expand within the boundaries that exist in the Star Trek mythos, why should the audience at all respect or listen to what they have to write? If they can’t trust their own ability to write or understand what Star Trek is about, why should we?
Because when people see "Star Trek" there is an image in their mind that cannot be moved, despite that image being wrong.
Thank you, you sum it up perfectly.
I would go to say it could be the JJ trek's fault from 2009 onward when the Licence was still in dispute. My guess is most of the people who genuinely like this show grew up in the late 90s, too young to remember Star Trek Enterprise but then became old enough to see the 2009 movie and onward...thinking that is how it is.
So to sum up....Discovery sucks ass !
That was the most entitled paragraph of hot garbage! YOU don’t get to declare that it’s your way or it’s wrong. Goodness, Star Trek has always tried to consciously break the boundaries of creative stagnation. You just want it to stay the same. That’s just dumbfounding.
@@southernbear736 you would be loud and wrong. These latest show have stood out on their own. I’ve watched all ST shows since Pike was the Captain. Stop being a jerk!
This is one hella emotional Vulcan for one being deemed president lol. No hate to the acting but Vulcan's usually sound a lot more dead
If a vulcan is slightly emotional you know shits gonna go down . I think dead tone would work worse in interplanetary negotiations , also Romulan reintegration could mean vulcans are a bit less constrained
It’s kinda sad out of all the Star Trek series this bridge crew is the only crew that I don’t know their names any except Tilly Micheal and saru it’s sad really even voyager and enterprise had more memorable crew members
That's because those two were better shows.
@@eanrollins3443 yeah and those were sub par compared to the others so what’s discovery
@@hashiramacells9845 I'm not even a trekkie to know that this show is bad.
@@eanrollins3443 Based upon what? Your prejudices?
@@blockwriters5728 no by actually check Star Trek lore and history. Also by watching an actual show.
As much as I hate the Michael Burnham character, I liked how she was portrayed in this scene. Some of the Vulcan "upbringing" is still there, and she threw a Vulcan trump card at them.
That was a bad move on Burnam's part, this season is very good.
Not really.
burnham is the worst character of all time. she only has like 2 expressions . The entire show is virtue signaling joke to be honest
@@Memnon-ro4cl Burnham is obviously one of the best characters in all of Star Trek. That kind of hyperbole sounds like prejudice. Just say you don’t like female, brown, commanders that don’t take ish from anyone. If that was Kirk, kicking butt and taking names, you would call him a badass.
@@guywall5690 It was the most basic character i have ever seen. I love strong characters who have depth to them. No matter male female or whatever. But burnham was a two dimensional cry baby who only lived due to plot armor. The entire series was a shit show . I guess she was a perfect fit for that
I can't wait til the new season!!! Michael is awesome!!
I cringed at the "special passenger" stuff. Stop treating Michael like she's the chosen one.
Did you just assume their gender? You will refer to Michael as nonbinary trans-dimensional space Jesus!
At the time she was the best card they could play. Sister of a cultural icon. Use every trick u have to get the job done, feelings aside.
I guess this passes for star trek these dxays.
I am the president of this planet. My job is to make first contact with incoming ships.
So damn beautiful
Wow now I HAVE to watch this series. Michael is such a Badass!!!! I hope each season is already on Blu-ray and 4K with a Dolby ATMOS Audio Surround Sound Track.
Michael: "I Respectfully Invoke The T'Kal-in-ket."
Me: "I Respectfully REVOKE The T'Kal-in-ket."
Michael: "Why?"
Me: "Because your despite."
Greetings. I am diverse Space Jesus.
What a stupid comment.
A Vulcan talking about sensitivity?
I thought burnham was denied permission to go to the Vulcan academy because of Spock?
Is she supposed to be vulcan like spock? If so she's showing too much emotion.
She’s human but was adopted by spocks parents
Have you even watch the show from the begining ?
@@evildrone2Clearly not, nor have quite a few other people.
Saru need a desk job.
What has happened? Why do we have all these characters who have rope in their head?
Why is it always Vulcans or Klingons with their crazy rituals? Why is it never the Betazoids with fights to death?
whats the ending song?
❤Burnum👑🖖🏾
So...why was vulcans name changed?
One of the best thing about Discovery is that it dispensed with the horrid Kelvin Universe.
That is an inaccurate statement. The Kelvin timeline exists separately, alongside but differing from the Prime timeline. (They actually discuss this in one of the Kelvin movies.) The reason they stopped making the movies was out of respect for the loss of Anton Yelchin, who played Chekov. (Also the script for the fourth movie spent some time in development hell - for a time, Quentin Tarantino was convinced he was making the next one.)
Raised on Vulcan, goes through trials and tribulations, jumps into the future. 1 year into the future she is sporting hair style from our century and a time when it was impractical. Yeah... tell us about that choice.
And yet we survived seven seasons of Geordie LaForge wearing a banana clip over his eyes. We'll live.
Hmmm, I didn't realise that hairstyles are unique to particular centuries.
While Discovery is a very pretty show, I find many things about it very annoying. Such as the disconcerting back-and-forth camera sway and excessive cuts to different angles.
This episode went from being one of Discovery's best to one of its most disappointing within the span of two minutes.
Remember that TOS episode where Spock had to go to Vulcan, for the pen farr, and ended up having to fight Kirk to the death ? Now that was a good episode. Here we are in the 21st century and Burnham has to go to Vulcan for a debate, in which by an amazing contrivance her mother is a warrior nun/debate team coach who helps her out by not helping her. Yup this is where Star Trek has boldly gone...right up it's own arse.
😂
DEGRADING YEAR BY YEAR
Yes, you probably are. I certainly am. What's that have to do with Star Trek?
Okay, this is weird; first Spock had no sister. Second; if she is the daughter of Sarek, then where are her cute little pointy ears?
watch the show and find out
You guess: Either there was some 5D genetic modification and time traveling granddaughter paradoxing with temporal-closed-loop gene circumvention evolved; or she was adopted.
she was adopted ;)
If you never watched the show, why did you bother clicking on this video?
"Sister of spock" - matter how many times they try to force it, that never became believable xD
Well crap was she prepared or not?
Um, sort of. It all worked out in the end. And Saru and the Vulcan president have a kind of thing between them! :)
@@DeaconBlues117 What kind of thing? A mutual respect? Or a envious thing? Competition?
@@kurtdowney1489 Potentially romantic - there's strong mutual respect, but also attraction. Figuring that out is going to be part of S5.
That looks like a very advanced orbital weapons platform. Discovery's sudden appearance started it to activation.
So now the First officer is in charge. Lol “Star Trek”
She was acting appropriately She would not have been able to request this again. Chill your toxicity out
@@Mxyzptlksac ehhh I mean she was acting like a loose cannon so I can see their logic. It's hardly toxicity when chain of command is an important thing in Trek
I Respectfully Invoke gobeldyguck
I am sorry, but i found it cringey when she said "daughter of Sarek"
I havent watched any of season 3, it doesnt interest me at all, but saw this clip and well took a peek and cringed out immediately when she said that.
But thats just me.
I am glad they have a new interface for Stamets to pilot this ship through the network however.
Hats off to those who like it
Feeling sorry for you
You realize Spock had a brother that was featured in one film like thirty years after TOS, right? He was in one movie, and no one liked him, so everyone forgot about him. But you can keep blahblahblah.
@@ashlynnp.9609 Yeah, his halfbrother Sybock. I remember that from ST Final Frontier. That movie sucked. What's your point?
@@ashlynnp.9609 Well everyone forgot about him because he died at the end of that movie (Star Trek V), killed by the "God" he was obsessed with finding at the edge of the universe, who turned out to not be a god after all.
@@greyd.99xsome
He found it cringe because of her being the sister of Spock without realizing that Sybok exists?
Sarak had 2 sons sybok and spock
To change that in some future scenario is stupid
Based on what little I have seen this show does not hold up
A daughter of Surak and sister of Spock....oh so she's a Mary Sue.
Adopted daughter of Sarek. As for "Mary Sue" go look up the definition. She definitely doesn't fit it, especially in the first season where she was basically on parole after being convicted of starting the Battle of the Binary Stars (not entirely fair, T'kuvma was looking for an excuse to fight and would have taken anything including the _Shenzhou_ just sitting there, but Starfleet needed a scapegoat and she _had_ unquestionably committed mutiny). A Mary Sue is instantly loved by everyone, and any exceptions are quickly proved to be exceptions only for their own venal reasons, but Burnham was regarded with suspicion and hatred by the crew of the _Discovery_ from the moment Lorca brought her aboard (especially by Detmer, who'd been grievously wounded during the battle).
Super Burnham to the rescue.... again 🤦♂️
Serious issues with writing of discovery and the lack of lore being followed. She may as well run whole alpha quadrant.
What happened to Vulcan?
Spock succeeded in reuniting the Romulan and Vulcan tribes. The Romulans moved back to the planet Vulcan.
I wanted to like discovery... Burnham is basically a sociopath who somehow gets away with everything but the show was for the most part good.
Then they came up with the burn. THEN they showed us what caused the burn and it kind of retroactively took all the goodwill I had for the show away.
They wanted emotionally damaged Mary Sue character and this is result, not impressive. Rest is bad writing, unstable and unbelievably insubordinate officer permanently going rogue that will be probably executed for treason yet permanently forgiven because there is weird notion of bigger truth that only her can see and everything is justified in final episodes like they all know exactly what they are doing and every BS was part of plan. Georgiou - control arc feel like proper start trek rest is love boat in space with action scenes.
In all the Sci Fi I;ve read in 40 yrs no where were earth women obsessed with braiding their Black hair into extremely long but teeny tiny braids! Vanity to such extreme has no place on a starship
You've not read terribly widely, I take it. I recommend starting a more diverse reading list with the works of N.K. Jemisin.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍😊
Woke space Jesus to the rescue!
Sisko?
Lol
Why isn't Vulcan destroyed?
Wrong timeline. You're thinking of the Kelvin universe.
Here's a tip for the people who made this amateurish production, don't put one of your main characters (who has a lot of dialogue) in make-up that stops him expressing emotion.
Vulcan has changed it bloody Name in this Dysfunctional Trek Oh well
The Kelvin timeline established that Romulus was destroyed by a Supernova in the Prime Universe, so it's a natural progression of Spock's efforts at Reunification. In order for one subspecies to not be superior over the other and be equals (having "Vulcans" living on Planet Vulcan makes them seem like the dominant species), it makes sense that after bringing in Romulan refugees and establishing equality that they would rename to something less... biased.
@@brianbeach3024"Ni'Vahr" is Old Vulkhan for "two peoples". It's a perfectly logical name for the world, now that those who marched under the Raptor's Wing have returned home.
I neee to ask.. is anyone really watching this show.. these short vid clip is both interesting and meh at the same time. How is this show still continuing and we still can not get firefly started back up again? Wtf?
You can't get Firefly restarted because too many cast members are too old (or, in one instance, too dead). Also, Fox didn't even want to run it the first time - why would they want to restart it?
Love this scene so much SO Star Trek :)
No it's not. This is garbage.
Show isn’t bad, I wish they didn’t use black alert. Just sounds dumb
