What did Burnham do to Spock?

[Cyrus]

She called him a "green blooded hobgoblin" and burned his comic book collection.

Whatever it is, someone is probably going to figure it out (as they did with Voq and Lorca), and we are going to be underwhelmed by it.

 

[Lord Garth]

Burnham told Uhura an embarrassing story about him. Spock never forgave her.

I know what that embarrassing story is too, but you'll never get it out of me. I'm no snitch.

Damn fan theories.

Ruin everything.

She wouldn't leggo his Eggo™....clearly.

I'm pissed that I don't know how to make that little trademark symbol

 

[Nerys Myk]

She told him "mother likes me best"

 

[guyute03]

I'll probably get yelled at for this but I'm going with the most "kid/teenager" thing.....
The most logical thing to my brain....

She simply broke his heart. He probably had some sort of step-sibling crush on her.... and she destroyed him for it. It would be very LOST, and that's already a show that's been touched on this season. It would not surprise or bother me if this is where this is going.

 

[donners22]

She borrowed his Mister Spock Space Fun Helmet and never returned it.

That explains why we never saw it in TOS, despite its infamous merchandise release.

I pray we're not going Flowers in the Attic with this. Spock Prime pre-TMP didn't have crushes. This isn't the Kelvinverse, where he's more comfortable with his human side.

"Little shadow" implies hero worship. It's a strange position for us to see Spock in after more than a half century with the character, but after reading Desperate Hours (I know, novels are not canon), I'm convinced what she said had something to do with Sarek and Amanda.

It's Primeverse canon that Sarek and Spock never melded (TNG). However, not only has Michael melded with him, she's walking around carrying a part of his katra. Once older, Spock would be able to put that in its place, but as a kid or a teen? He'd resent the hell out of Michael.

(I love DSC, but I do think this storyline is one that opened the show up to far too much scrutiny and critique. I wish they'd made her Soval or T'Pol's ward, or the ward of Tuvok's family. They could have made Sarek her mentor, and Spock, a younger classmate... ah, the road not taken.)

 

[Tuskin38]

Whatever it was, she was too embarrassed to tell Amanda.

 

[Locutus of Bored]

She told Spock that Sarek was ashamed of him for being half-human and that he kept her around to distract others from noticing Spock's human traits.

Folks speculating about a romantic / heartbreak related incident, Kurtzman himself refuted this.

As did SM-G

 

[Agony_Boothb]

She sold his vintage rocket launcher boba fett in the original packaging at a garage sale for $1.

 

[Nerys Myk]

She tricked him in to performing a ventriloquist act at the Learning Center talent show. "Spocky" was not a hit

[Wulfsa]

Michael to Spock: You are adopted too!

 

[thribs]

She called him a half breed.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

She sank Spock's battleship!

 

[thribs]

She said that TOS was dated.
