Or maybe it's Perrin and Sarek's kid (who knows how many they might have had by then). Doesn't Vulcan libido increase with age after all? They could have easily been married for decades before Sarek died and had several kids.
How will season 2 end?

Betazoids are the ones whose libidos increase with age. That's why Luaxana Troi's lusting over every man in "Manhunt".
When would they have had time to see an erosion or react to the blowhards? Any decisions would have been made months before the season even started.
Not to mention the fact that CBS specifically stated publically that as of the start of this season subscription number growth was 2 years ahead of projections.
Re: Sarek's breakdown
We got snapshots of Sarek's breakdown not the entire thing. After all, how long did the negotiations with the Llgonians (sp) take. It could've gone on hours, and he likely said a lot of things we didn't hear. Maybe he even mentioned Sybok.
Re: Yesteryear
Michael could've been away, studying at the Vulcan Science Academy during those events.
Exactly. Not much time to go in family details, including Michael.
Spock was seven. Burnham can’t be that much older to be at the Vulcan Science Academy. She’s already a prodigy by graduating at the top of her class. Let’s not overdo it.
I don't think it is a very solid foundation for a character when you have to keep coming up with reasons why she wasn't in certain scenes or ever mentioned at all. A foster sister that has been living with the character since she was five is kinda hard to keep under raps. It is the same issue I have with Sybok (Luckinbill was another good actor given an underbaked role as a Spock sibling).
And one thing that needs debunked: Spock may have been private, but he wasn't that private. He mentions having a human ancestor in "Where No Man...", then openly mentions his mother and father to the entire bridge crew in "The Corbomite Maneuver".

I agree, but it's all in about the characters and their growth. I personally enjoy Michael and curious to see more of her. and her interactions. When the story is done then I'll render whether or not I think her character is an issue for Spock as he stands in other Trek productions.
Not sure why yo think its strange that kids aren't joined at the hip 24/7 365 days a year. Lots of characters on Star Trek don't appear in episodes for no reason other than they aren't there (seems to have become a major complaint for Disco, though when a minor character comes and goes, IE "Where is Jet Reno??!!"). Lots or reasons why a foster sister might not be around for a given period of time. As a 3rd born in my family i recognize this happens a lot. kind of given Yesteryear even more poignancy, IMHO.
And sure Spock says he has a human ancestor and parents at odd points, usually when provoked for a particular reason. He doesn't go on about who they are, however, now does he?.
They already killed Spock in a major fashion once, I'm not sure that's something that would be considered edgy or new enough at this point to be used again.

I couldn’t help but notice your pain. Your pain runs deep. Share your pain, and gain strength from the sharing.
So was Sybok, and he and Spock were "raised as brothers" as Spock said in ST:V.
That was before Michael came to live with them. Besides, that's the animated series. Ooooo. I went there.
Those characters may have been underused this season but that hardly means they're now useless. Other than Stamets I don't see how any of them are tied to season 1's story. Tilly is a character in her own right with almost no dependence on the circumstances of S1. Tyler and L'Rell were given an origin story, not a complete arc, and they remain interesting characters with a lot to explore. Culber is suddenly more interesting too. But Stamets, sure. I was only half-joking about my idea to transplant him into the Picard series.
I don't mention that I have a brother to people unless it naturally comes up. I'm sure most of the people I work with don't know I have a sibling. I don't see how Michael not being mentioned in TOS is weird.
So is Sybok....
She might be Jamaican, after all British sounding Picard is French and American accented La Forge is Somalian
According to Tuvok so do Vulcans
She was at the Vulcan hairdressers, getting her roots permed
And yet never mentions that his father is the ambassador to Vulcan, until the plot requires it

I don't think we will get an actual reset, and I certainly hope we don't - If only for "Lethe". Sarek's choice is by far my favourite moment of Disco, and in itself provides a good insight into the reasons for the rift between Sarek and Spock that we already know of.
I really wouldn't like to see that undone.
