True but the connection must be real time for her to feel his pain so it cant be an after image.In my head, I am still going with she was just talking to Sarek's remaining katra "afterimage" rather than actually talking to him. He didn't actually impart to her any new information.
That does keep them short!
I agree. There can be some kind of emotional/pain connection because Spock felt it in "the Immunity Syndrome", but actual real-time communications without some kind of ansible technology is a stretch like something the the Kelvin Timeline. Every starship would be immediately posted with a Vulcan whose katra counterpart sits back at Starfleet Communications.
T'Pol and Trip had a similar experience where they communicated across space.
Not too different from this, besides the background:

Great call back @MvRojo ......... and thankfully no catsuit!
Star Trek previews really aren't the same without Don LaFontaine.
I would guess it's part of their Sarek rescue mission...But then again...who knows with Mr Tyler - what is real and what is imagined? (To be said in a Vincent Price cackle!)
Thankfully, it's not Sarek -- it's another Vulcan, apparently named Serrik. Maybe a cousin.
^ It's an hallucination, AFAIK. Part of Burnham's mind link with Sarek.
Yeah, and it wasn't great then either.
So how do they get Vulcans and Starfleet basically correct, but yet have the Klingons something way out of left field?
I mean they had a basic look for twenty or thirty years for the makeup and the basics of their ship designs for fifty years, and now they go off and do their own thing? I can understand them doing a cultural redressing and seem to have taken some ideas from the "Final Reflection", but there wasn't a need for this much of a visual reimagining.

It's something of a special case within Trek:
1) Klingons were always different. Even in TOS, the one thing that characterized the Klingons was "Hey, they're different from the last time!". They behaved different, they looked different.
2) Klingon tech paraphernalia, OTOH, was bottom of the barrel. They got one ship in TOS, and one in ST3, but then were stuck with that for literally centuries. Accompanying both ships was a sidearm design, and the latter one again stuck for centuries. It was difficult to see any aesthetics connection between Exhibit A and Exhibit B there.
Two new designs emerged in TNG, the Vor'Cha and the Negh'Var/Voodieh, and those kind of had a common design ethos. But a shuttle was done on the cheap, not matching that ethos. Romulans got new stuff that, while not all that plentiful, was very nicely in line with whatever had been previously introduced for the era. Cardassians grew into an impressive theme park. Even the Ferengi thrived.
Then comes ENT, and the Klingon stagnation is extended backwards by another century. Vulcans and Andorians get fleshed out with ships, sets, props, costuming etc. Klingons are stuck, and due an overhaul. Thankfully, they get a range of CGI-kitbashed ships at least.
We have a discrepancy there, then: Klingon faces are defined by change, but their culture looks monobloc. How come? Well, it's time we learn that the latter looks deceive. (Or that change prompts racist conformity within the Empire, with the fortunes favoring different faces at different times, or whatever.)
I'm still thinking this is an opportunity, not just existing but also being taken here, even if it's originally just a very stupid idea that stuck for production reasons. And the way to remedy it is trivially obvious and trivially cheap: just insert a smidgen of the familiar, at your leisure, and both the desired diversity and the desired continuity are served. So I'm not worried in the slightest. Let the folks innovate with their designs, and sort it out afterwards.

P.S. digging the Vulcan courier ship a lot.

My theory is that since the Klingons were not unified it would make sense that their military wasn't. We've seen different houses with different attire, maybe they all have their own ship designs. There could be a house that is using the other type of D7's and we haven't seen it yet or maybe that design just hasn't been put into service yet? Either way TOS doesn't happen for another 10 years.
