News Kurtzman: Why We Gave Spock A New Adopted Sibling

They never said he wasn't a Taurellian Pig Worm either, so that must mean he can be one.
Don't ask me what a Taurellian Pig Worm is, becasue i don't know either.
If gives a reason to include a young-ish Sarek on the show. Granted, young-ish Sarek could have been on just as well if Burnham was just someone he was closely mentoring since she was a small child, instead of being a foster child of Sarek's...
...but the difference between "mentoring since she was a small child" and "foster child" seems quite minimal.
I don't look at Burnham being Spock's foster sister as being a small universe.
Instead I see it as there being a quadrant full of ships, people, and stories to tell about them, but the stories being told to us in "Discovery" key on Burnham because (at least in part) she was a foster sister of Spock.

For me? I just need something more than that to recast a role.
Worf? Worf who had long lost relatives both known and unknown show up all the time on TNG?
Who were also introduced during said show and not a prequel series 50 years after said show ended.
As a central character on another series?
So? TNG had multiple TOS characters make cameos. And two of those shows had their ships named the Enterprise to connect back.
Yeah and those took place AFTER TOS ended. Not before. Having TOS characters appear in the future of their own universe makes sense. Going to a prequel 50 years after TOS then making it's main character an adopted sister of a TOS character when we never heard of them or seen them before is different. Michael Burnham didn't exist when TOS was around. Then watch out. Here comes Discovery and now suddenly Michael Burnham exists and they are wedging her into some kind of connection with Sarek and Spock's family. That's where things take a stretch don't you think?
Except the fact they already said he was a Vulcania... Vulcan.
But he could have a Taurellian Pig Worm inside him controlling his actions. Nothing in canon says otherwise.
You are right.But he could have a Taurellian Pig Worm inside him controlling his actions. Nothing in canon says otherwise.
It could be brilliant, right now it reads like fan wank to me.
Fan wank would have been making DSC looks like TOS aesthetically.
Well, no. Because, whether people like it or not, that was part of the Star Trek universe for a long time. Michael Burnham is a fifty-year later afterthought.
Well, yes. Making a big busget tv show in 2017 look like TOS would be only to appeal to a niche group of fans...fan wank.
No one here has said make it look like TOS, not a one. People have said they would've preferred something that more believably matched up.
Huge difference.
