I'm loving the costuming and set design.

Looks like I was right, they apparently go to Vulcan and find Spock in the caves somewhere. Presumably S31 turns up to take him into custody and Burnham fights Georgiou to try to get him back.

Amanda looks so sad. Do you think Sarek is not showing much inclination to search for Spock?

Also, I think the plot B story will be Pike and Tyler on an away mission, forced to work together and finally airing out the tension and bonding a bit?
 
In 'Brother' we saw falling red petals and the trees outside of Spock's window had red foliage. I don't mind it, because it's there to evoke a certain kind of atmosphere and of course the Vulcans could cultivate plants and terraform pockets of land if they desired to. There's more greenery than when T'Pol went home to visit her mother in ENT's 'Home', for sure. But even then, there were plants and trees growing inside the compound. I just re-watched the scene and was pleasantly surprised to see a very similar metal sculpture on display and also the use of a lot of woodwork in the furniture and fittings. It seems that the designers did take some notes from ENT in this regard as to decor.
 
I enjoy stopping at Vulcan. I wish the episode was already available.

Don't forget she's also probably still angry over Michael's admission of having wounded Spock as a child to force him to become distant. Probably not happy at having to see her just right now.

Honestly, the earlier depictions of Vulcan as containing nothing but dusty desert made little sense. Without an active biosphere somewhere there wouldn't be enough plants to generate oxygen. Though of course since we know Vulcan was ravaged by nuclear war it would make sense if there were large blighted areas.

Also, the "planet with one biome" trope is really, really overdone in sci-fi. And I'd rather have this than Vulcan looking like a gravel pit, which would have been option #2.
 
I'm going to wildly speculate that Burnham only thinks she went home to Vulcan, but it's all a Talosian illusion because that's where Spock is really hiding.

I'm probably wrong because the writers more likely want Amanda to be correct when she said she would find Spock.

Given the shape of their heads, I would think a lot of the water would just drip off the edges of their skulls umbrella-like, and it would be hard to get their bodies properly wet.

This show needs a quick infusion of Jett Reno. Where is she.

watched "an obol for charon" and "saints of imperfection" back to back last week and reno is even more conspicuously absent. "charon" ends with stamets and reno standing over the may cocoon and "imperfection" begins seemingly in the same place, only with stamets there. it's really jarring, like reno just disappeared.

Notaro must have had a limited amount of studio time.
