Burnham would probably be very different if not adopted by Sarek and Amanda.

She might have been a good character.
YawnShe might have been a good character.
I would enjoy a comic book about that. Burnham is a source of continual interest for me, and such "alternate lives" (like some other comics have done) would be right up my alley.
Watched it a second time with closed caption where needed, and have to say it was more substantial than I allowed for the first time through. Burnham's contribution to what Spock became is a bit more contextualized now, but still felt somehow heretical to this ageing fart, especially with Nimoy's "cameo" during the episode. The bookend with Book was a nice touch too, exposition without droning on and on. Nice scenes between Saru and President / Burnham and Mom. Getting a bit burned out on the waterworks right now though, because they're becoming commonplace, and threaten to blunt powerful scenes to come. But the episode held together quite well, and I'll go with a super-strong 8 this time....
Saru and the Vulcan president are the new power couple, forget Burnham and Book
Burnham's many things good and bad but boring isn't one of them.
“Unification III is the Code of Honor of Discovery. But with Jews.”
Okay, I’m not Jewish, so I guess I’m missing the context here. Is there a member of the Tribes present that can provide some insight as to what the actual fuck RMB is on about?

I don’t think anyone can.“Unification III is the Code of Honor of Discovery. But with Jews.”

Yes, me, but I'm pretty clueless here. Vulcans have always had a certain Jewish element to them, thanks to Nimoy's creative input.“Unification III is the Code of Honor of Discovery. But with Jews.”

Based on his rather extreme statement, I suspect he might have been a Holocaust survivor who’s no longer alive? Maybe?
Honestly, I got nothing for this one.

Hell, in the 32nd Century, literally everyone we’ve seen so far has been xenophobic as a result of the Burn and subsequent collapse of the Federation.
Okay, this is entering some serious Twilight Zone shit right here...
Eh? I haven’t seen anything xenophobic.
Isolationist =/= xenophobia. No one has been attacked or singled out because of their race.
You don’t remember how the “People of Earth” reacted rather aggressively to Disco’s presence, as well as the totally unnecessary feud between them and the people out at, what was it, Titan, that could have been easily mitigated through simple communication? There was also the extremely suspicious nature of SF headquarters towards the Disco crew when they arrived - not at all the welcome that anyone expected. The Burn seems to have made everyone one highly paranoid and untrusting. Would this not qualify as being at least somewhat xenophobic? Fear of something from the outside?
Yeah, since faster than light travel is an expensive rarity, and only will become more so as more as dilithium runs out, it only makes sense to retreat into your own system and focus on diversifying local, accessible via sunlight territories rather than wasting resources on dwindling interstellar trade routes.
