It's not like he made a deal with the Borg or anything. I'd be more worried cruising on Voyager.

Two notes of personal shallowness:
1. I couldn't help but singing "Life During Wartime" watching Burnham and Tilly jogging.
2. The Vulcan bowl cute is cute on SGM. I wish it would have stuck.

Sorry I only read the first 10 pages or so. Had to watch this morning. I thought this was very good, on a number of levels.
Good character building all around. Burnham. Lorca. Sarek. Tilly. Even Sarek's reaction to Spock choosing Starfleet.
No issues with rascist Vulcans. That has always been there. ENT & TOS.
Ash sure has a good grip on human psychology for a Klingon. Perhaps a tad too cute from the writers.
Spock's mom has always been hot. Winona Ryder lives!
Not 100% sure on Lorca's motivations. Saving Sarek was beneficial for the Federation & he did it in a manner consistent with earlier actions: he just did it. Plus, he values Burnham especially & wants a loyal crew (security chiefs, Saru). No issues there.
The Admiral. Cloudier. Unfair to say he sent her to her death. He could be just taking her advice, realizing his command is in trouble. Starfleet hesitated to rescue Sarek. Plus, she outranks him & they were almost there already. Now, how he behaves IF ordered to rescue, that will tell the tale. Me, I think it is a bit of both. He follows procedure & possibly preserves his command. Double bonus.
Weak spots. Why on earth there wasn't some sort of transporter lock on the Admiral is just beyond silly. Once the aides die, she should be out. Plot dictates otherwise. Hardly a new Trek phenomenon. Still a negative.
Stamets. Clearly the spore drive is having an effect.
Next episode is #7. Originally that was the end of the half season, yes?

Forgot: DISCO shirts! Sweet.
Be careful, mods around here don't like to talk about Anaxar. They think the discussion is over when the some of us see why it was axed...that aside, I like where you are going...I thought Stamets was off and I thought of the mirror universe.
Don't forget DS9.
According to After Trek, that opening scene with the jogging took 8 hours to film, and the corridors were only long enough to film about 10 seconds of dialogue before they ran out of set.
I don't think so, I think hes just high on his shroom experience. He describes it in the episode to Lorca.
Well different architectural styles on different parts of the planet wouldn't be unusual.
Me too. It's quite hard to make an alien cityscape look alien, I think they pulled that off nicely.
The whole thing took place in Sarek's mind.
Nah, millions of buildings built on a planet populated by six billion people looking all alike is what would be... Not unusual, but literally crazy.
EDIT: I was never crazy about Vulcan architecture in The Forge / Awakening / Kirshara, not because it didn't look good, but because it looked almost exactly like Coruscant.
Red leaves and green blood...One little thing that made me very happy. Vulcan.
The architecture style was taken straight from Star Trek 2009.
.
It's nice to see a number of different cities and smaller towns, some distinct, but not all.
(What I'm afraid of here is that they'll eventually call one of the big cities Shi'Kahr. In TOS and TAS, wasn't that supposed to be a quiet rural setting bordering on wastes no sane Vulcan wants as his neighbor?)
Well worth the effort...
Loved Burnham's frankly rather alien running style! Is that how you do it when the sand really burns your feet?
