Cue the Mary Sue complainers.

It was made worse by the fact they explained away the helmet in dialogue when it came to Airiam. They could have avoided both by just having the helmets be removable instead of collapsible. Can't put helmet on because, well, it's over there.
In the real world, having the sum of all your memories would not be enough to recreate you, since the underlying architecture of your brain would also be needed. Which in Airiam's case means whatever mix of gray matter and circuitry is up in there.
That said, this is a show that had Culber resurrected via contact with Stamets' tears, so sadly you may be right. I don't think she's a big enough show presence to get a resurrection arc though.
Burnham said "shit" in "Context is for Kings", and nobody batted an eyelash.
I also love that this show brought back a relatively obscure species from TNG for one of their characters. There are definitely other previously-established species that I would not mind seeing make a return. One minor complaint I've had about Star Trek is the way they frequently introduce new aliens that we maybe see once and then never hear from again. I mean, it's cool seeing new and interesting aliens, but having more recurring races helps make it feel like a more cohesive universe, so I think it's great we've not only had a Barzan present this season, but also a Saurian.
Fun episode, but couldn't they been Airiam to the Discovery in the end?
I'm going to go with the fact of being tossed multiple meters across the room and smashing the back of ones spacesuit against a wall with such force to knock the wind out of you, probably has a tendency to disable (break) things located in ones spacesuit where one smashes it against a wall.
Also, Nahan only had half of her breathing apparatus pulled off, the other side was still connected.
That's because Data said it in 1994 and Data is a True Trek™ character which makes it okay.
Ahhh, I thought that she had already been one and it was just a "Ugh...fucking Patar..." kind of thing among the admirals, and was then killed by Control. That's much more palatable and believable than Starfleet being so tolerant that someone like Patar could chess herself into power. I must have missed part of her explanation of the mission. Now that I think about it, I think my brain just dumped all the information Cornwell had given immediately after her speech on the bridge about Pike because I was too busy gushing.
Which means next episode ("The Red Angel") will be all about the Daedalus Project and fighting against Control, and the Angel will only show up for a cliffhanger.
He threw her greatest character flaw, her self-importance, right in her face. She noped out, which seemed so natural to me in a situation where people who are close to each other can't work out deep-seated conflicts. Both had a point. Very organic. Very poignant. I love it.
Who says he didn't? Also, even Andorians need to breathe.
R'Cist As'holes is the Vulcan term.
Vulcan Prime.
