Does that mean the records were forged, or was the doctor complicit with S31 to make those video reports?
ETA: I mean if the reports are fabricated, in terms of the psychopathy portion (emotional empathy deficit).

The Red angle unmoored our boy from time.
His logic couldn't handle it.
Insanity.

If Spock is not a murderer, either Section 31 killed those three men, or they are fake people who were pretend killed on paper, or section 31 has them in a black site, or they were section 31 doctors who are now hiding and pretending to be dead.
I always thought it was Gulber... I'm also unsure whether our traitorous infected robot is Ailiam or Airiam... Discovery has been somewhat... lacking in effectively making second-sting birdge characters memorably identifiable, IMO.
I'm assuming Section 31 killed them, since they were still alive when Spock left.
I also think that Section 31 offed them
Dead people can't talk
Dead people can't talk
It’s Airiam.

But talk about what? They didn't know anything that wasn't general Starfleet knowledge after that. Spock hadn't shared what he later shows Burnham.
They won't be able to say "Hey, Spock didn't kill us!"
Abundantly true.
To circle back to the trauma/argument for just a moment (sorry if this is dead horse beating) -- I can go along with it because of how young Spock is here. Five? And here's the person he can most be himself with, without disappointing Dad or having Mom tell him to go back to emulating Dad. Someone who he can talk to about bullying. Someone who is obviously also an outsider and so he can relate to her.
And then she cuts him to the quick.
And then later, as adults, they are "too busy" or "out of range" or "it slipped (my) mind" or whatever. People can find dozens of excuses not to kiss and make up.

Mostly agree. He'd have shut that fight down imediately and hualed everyone into his ready room. He'd give a stern but fatherly speech about understanding their difficulties before telling them he still expects more from them and how they should expect more from themselves given the uniform they wear. Everyone walks out a little ashamed of themselves, even Picard who wished he could have avoided it somehow even though he knows he couldn't.
Scene cuts to a flyby of the Enterprise with sad orchestral music followed by the end credits.
I still credit Anson Mount for the great run Discovery is having right now. We need more Pike less Burnham …. and I have been a Discovery fan since episode 1. And in defense of Burnham - having the character growing up on Vulcan makes it very difficult for the actor/actress in that they can't utilize emotion in their acting like a normal character. Very few have been successful in showing emotion in different ways with Vulcans. Of course Nemoy nailed it. I think Tim Russ is one of the few others that I think found a way to provide depth even with the handcuffs of emotionless Vulcan character. I like Zachary Quinto's Spock but he has used emotion a little more in his performance.
If 'constantly mildly annoyed' is depth for you, then I guess that's true...

For the first time in the series run, I'm interested in what happens next week. They did a far better job with the Talos IV stuff than I thought they were capable of. Though all the running stories were actually interesting in their own right.
I think they've introduced the multiple timelines with Burnham to give themselves and fans some wiggle room on how this all fits together.
But, unlike most, I found "The Cage" opening jarring and would've rather had them reshoot some scenes with the current actors.

It played out as I expected but instead of "halfbreed freak" I thought it was gonna be something to do with Mom likes me better or something. Still the best of the season and maybe series for me.
