Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

Just because Kirk didn't know about Spock's parents, doesn't mean Pike shouldn't either.
Pike met Amanda during Season Two of DISCOVERY. I don't remember if he shared any scenes with Sarek. Even so, since he encountered Amanda in her capacity as Spock's mother, it shouldn't be difficult for Pike to make the intuitive leap that the Vulcan ambassador is Spock's father.
 
The lighting in the top one is pretty generically bad. Underlighting the sets has become such a skiffy cliche. The second one is a bit more in line with the way most television and movies in other genres are lit.

Much improved. As is the main viewer area.
 
On the one hand I'm wondering why they decided that they should be the ones to break a 56 year streak of his full name being a mystery. On the other hand, we've always known there was more to his name and knowing it doesn't change anything, so I guess I'm mostly indifferent to this news!

Though it does raise the question of whether his dad's called S'chn Sarek.
 
The rectangular viewscreen with the TOS running lights at the bottom(they even look like they're shaped and spaced the same as the old TOS running lights) is a vast improvement over that pointy-edged monstrosity that shared its shape with Discovery's. It's still too big for my tastes but at least it looks more like a traditional Starfleet viewscreen now.
