Defiant, mutiny, Discovery, TOS... what is the connection?

[Hythlodeus]

if insubordination were a punishable offense in Starfleet, there would be no crew left on ships and space stations

 

[Lord Garth]

That's probably true.

And it's also important to point out that Spock's specific line (to Chekov) was "Absolutely no record of such an occurrence." Spock didn't say there never WAS a mutiny; he said there was no RECORD of one.

"A lie?"

"An omission."
