Again, gearhead, not mushroom farmer.
She's the traitor! Airiam is a red herring :O
Perhaps it's Craft's people that are out to destroy the Federation?
They are far enough in the future to have exceptional technology.
What is this "Control" that people keep referring to? I've seen posts saying it's from novels, that it's responsible for the Federation itself etc. I know section 31 had some AI threat analysis done, and Georgiou mentioned something about how in her universe AI didn't give the orders. I'm kinda lost with this one TBH.
I find it continuing to be fascinating how Pike is just as a 'Context is King' as even Mirror Lorca was. One minute he's giving his newly cheekily snarky first officer a dressing down and telling him to 'go by the book' in future and by the end of the ep he's disobeying a direct order. Are we sure this isn't Mirror Pike.
Pike believes doing the right thing trumps following the rules (a lesson he clearly taught to Spock). Crewmen duking it out in the mess hall doesn't fit that.
I hope so. It comes off as kind of a dick move to replace Mitich with someone else and then turn around and offer her a lesser role unless they had future plans for the new character. (This, of course, assuming Mitich didn't cut back on work because of personal reasons or whatever.)
I'm starting to think it will be some timey wimey thing with the Red Angels (Burnham's only alive because of them).
Although maybe Amanda's still angry at Burnham when she emphasizes Spock is an only child in "Journey to Babel".
I doubt the show is going to copy it from the novels 1:1.
But in the books, Control was a threat assessment program developed in the 22nd century (or was it the 21st?) that evolved into its own intelligence and integrated itself into all Earth and then Federation technology to protect Earth and later the Federation. It creates and destroys Section 31 when needed.
Good episode.
Absolutely loved the "previously on Star Trek" opening. And I did watch "The Cage" earlier today.
The new Vina (Melissa George) doesn't look like the old one but has killer legs.
I recognized the original Airiam actress, she was the blond in engineering.
The blue plants on Talos were 25% different.
Young Spock in earlier episodes was an a-hole. In this episode he was very sweat. I felt bad for him.
Next week is the Michelle Paradise/Jonathan Frakes episode. We will see how good a writer the new co-showrunner is.

I believe she backed out of the Airiam role due to the makeup not agreeing with her.
Except the dust up in the mess hall of course it was the right thing, because it was what both Tyler and Culber needed and the crew needed to witness.
It wasn't the right thing. Nothing was solved for either character.
She really needs to be the chief engineer. "I'm giving her all she's got captain!"
Oh sure. In that moment, she became little different than his tormentors and bullies at school, who ostracized him for who he was.
My guess is that the second half of season 2 is their last sibling hurrah, and then they never see each other again... in which case, Spock wouldn't have any reason to mention her to the second iteration of the Enterprise crew. The one we all know and love.
But what I kinda love is that Pike knows all about this. He's the one who could have probably written an entire book about Spock's early life... but of course, we all know why he never will.
The Keeper was played by Rob Brownstien

Which makes one wonder if what happened to Pike was even an accident.
That is actually an extremely interesting theory.
