Because he was an asshole, silly! Of course he was straight. Didn’t you get the memo on that?

Stamets certainly hadn't yet, at the outset of the series...

I was grinning from ear to ear by the time this episode finished. Hello, Trek, it's goddamn wonderful to have you back, after over a decade of absence.

9/10

 

[1001001]

Very good.

This episode made me love Tilly even more than I did, and I didn’t think that was possible.

“8”

 

[Nerys Myk]

Don't worry, I'm sure the episode will do something to upset people.

Section 31 and Klingons. It's already ahead of the curve.

I really hate being a spelling Nazi, but being its my middle name, so misspelling this is a HUGE pet peeve.

M-I-C-H-A-E-L.

It's my first name. Sets my teeth on edge every time.

i'm so glad they - so far - got only one of my six first names: gabriel (it's pronounced differently, though)

That's "St. Connolly of the Asteroids". Show some respect.

Brace yourself. It's been more than fifty years and people still misspell Khan and Chekov on a regular basis.

It's happened.

And then there was the time I saw my vampire anthology listed as "TOMORROW SUCKS, Cox."

 

[Nerys Myk]

Riker and Sisko are the two names that seemed to get misspelled a lot

The Church of Goddenberry is slow in this regard.

I see "Uhuru" more often than I would like, but that's usually in more mainstream venues. I'm not sure actual Trekkies get that one wrong.

A Connolly Homily
Connolly incautiously,
Did thoughtlessly forget,
That Burnham was so doggedly,
Correct in all beget's.

He audibly did wantonly,
Protest her main advice,
And ended oh so awfully,
... A Red-shirt sacrifice

Actually, they covered that in Seaon One. Basically, the Vulcan Science Academy, didn't approve of EITHER Burnham (a Human child raised in Vulcan society and doing her best to fit in - AND - who PASSED there entrance exam and did better than some Vulcans); or Spock (because of his half-human heritage); so they told him they'd take ONE of Sarek's children only. Thus he LIED to Burnham (making her believe she'd failed the entrance exam); so he would keep the spot open for Spock when he came of age...but in the end Spiock chose to join Starfleet instead.

Okay, must have ignored/forgotten that - but that doesn't actually explain why Spock doesn't talk to either of them or why Burnham isn't angry at Sarek. Again this really sounds like small universe-syndrome and retconning TOS facts to match with Burnham's background. Then again, this whole angle with Spock's human step sister etc doesn't ring right with me.
