Those pods kinda sound like the Jellyfish. 
"Bet you wish you'd stood in bed!"
They must be a Vulcan design, Burnham test drove them on Vulcan before she joined Starfleet.Those pods kinda sound like the Jellyfish.
Hmmm, Test pilot, scientist.... are we sure her last name isn't "Banzai"?

the design of Reno's drones reminds me of the Aesthetic in this concept art which was done for Season 1.

Last season I signed up on CBSAA website and watched on the Roku app on TV and the CBS website. This season I signed up on Prime because my new living room TV doesn't have the CBSAA app.
I tried to watch on my shop TV with Roku on Prime, but no joy. "Content not available."
So, I watched on Prime on my laptop. Checked it on my phone, thumbs up. Tried the main TV on Prime, all good.
With a little searching, I found that CBSAA on Prime does not work on Roku. Duh. I found that if you add the actual CBSAA app on the Roku, go to the CBSAA website and sign in with the Amazon credentials, you can then log into the Roku CBSAA app with Roku creds. So you're using the Amazon/Roku logins to access the CBSAA app.
It's a convoluted way to get there, but it works.

Re-watching the episode, finally. Michael Burnham's version of "Space, the final frontier... " nails down what Star Trek is really about. "Space, the final frontier. Above us, around us, within us, we have always looked to the stars to discover who we are." I challenge anyone to tell me, with a straight face, how that's not Star Trek.
Kid Spock giving everyone the cold shoulder is reminiscent of Spock giving everyone the cold shoulder in TMP when he first arrives on the Enterprise. In both cases, we've been waiting to see Spock and he's remote. You can see a kernel of who Spock would become as an adult, so this 10-year-old Spock (or however old he's supposed to be) looks accurate to me. He's the Spock who, as Sarek recalled in "Unification", would run off for nights after Sarek forbade him to go into the mountains.
Tilly needs to be toned down by about half. Maybe the writers were excited to be back and that excitement spilled over into Tilly's dialogue. I don't know if Reno's going to stick around but she could be a Life Mentor for Tilly, being kind-of-sort-of an offbeat, older version of her.

I thought it would speak for itself to most people....
Rewatching it (or the whole of TOS/TNG/DS9) might help clarify things.
Sarek is loaded! His home is filled with rare and expensive wood. Lumber must be in short supply on arid Vulcan...
Amok Time showed how much land Spock's family owned for generations. He comes across as Vulcan aristocracy, plus Vulcans land mass is far greater than Earth, with 6 billion people there is enough space for everyone to live in a big house.
I saw lots of trees out the windows.
Interesting that Pike didn't go out of his way to say where Spock was when Burnham said she expected to see him. I wonder if a cigar's just a cigar or if Pike's worried about Spock too but didn't want to get into it right there? Good move on the writers' part to not mention Spock's whereabouts right away. Builds up the speculation, anticipation, and suspense for when adult Spock actually does make his grand entrance. That needs a build-up that would've been taken away from if he appeared while "Brother" was reorienting Discovery into its new tempo.
Pike probably doesn't know where Spock is. Spock requested and was granted leave. Where he went was his personal business, and I doubt Pike would press him for info Spock didn't/wouldn't volunteer. Spock's not one to freely divulge personal info,
Also, Sarek's grandfather was the first Ambassador to Earth. He probably made a fortune in lumber exports.
