Rewatched this one today, with my son (aged 3), who was seeing it for the first time. He was a big fan, so I suspect that he'll love the kids show they're putting together.

He loved Ephraim & Dot, though, and continues to ask me why all Trek isn't like that!

Would you dare show him TAS?
 
I haven't seen this and I don't think it was on Netflix at all during season 2. So that really does suck.

I had this thought myself but others have posted the same thought as a theory but in this short was the storm that young Michael Burnham saw in the sky the red matter explosion from Star Trek 2009 which rippled through multiple realities and was the point where the two timelines diverged?

You’re not missing much, believe me.
 
There were 2 good ones in ST S1 (Saru's and Mudd's), the others were kinda odd.
S2 also had just 2 good ones (CoM and Ephraim), the others were really odd XD
 
The season 2 did nothing but break the continuity more. :)
I did somewhat like Q&A though.
 
I'd defintely like to see a Nhan Short Trek.

Nhan's homeworld (Barzan) is very resource-poor and doesn't have any kind of spaceflight capability, let alone warp drive. So the Federation would not normally make first contact with them. How does somebody from a world like that even make it off planet in the first place, let alone become a Starfleet officer?

Aren't the Barzan in contact with Warp capable species and engaging in trade with them?

They are, but we have no idea how they managed to accomplish that (at least with the Federation - see below).

In any case, the first time (TNG's "The Price") we meet the Barzan, it's over a hundred years after Nhan's appearance. And even then, Barzan still doesn't have any kind of spaceflight capabiility. The Federation normally only makes contact with worlds that have warp drive, so how did Nhan get offworld in the first place? How did she find her way into Starfleet? Who sponsored her application to Starfleet Academy? There's lots of storytelling opportunities there.

Seems pretty straight forward. Warp capable culture comes in contact with the Barzan. They offer the Barzan goods and services. The Barzan are now part of the Galactic culture. Since the contact has been made the UFP's Prime Directive doesn't apply, so the Federation are Starfleet can recruit Barzans.
