Who serves aboard the Kelvin Discovery?

[LizStargaryen]

I don't see Spock having humans in his family as implausible at all. As human as Amanda was, she chose a Vulcan life. When we first meet her character in "Journey to Babel" she's insisting to Kirk "it's a better way than ours."

Of course she raised Spock -- and Michael -- to be as Vulcan as possible. Sure, she was a human mother, but she raised them to be in the culture they lived in.

The one question I have about the choice to raise Michael as a Vulcan is that she doesn't have the same biology and physiology. Their touch telepathy, the fact that they have katras that can exist after death, and more. How fair was it to deny her a human life? Especially when we saw the little girl say that she wanted to go back to Earth?

Or it was blown to pieces by Nero at the Battle of Vulcan

We know which ships were blown to pieces at Vulcan, and it wasn't one of them.

The Discovery was obviously in the Laurentian system with the rest of the fleet...

We have to accept the idea that Michael had no living relatives on Earth or anywhere to raise her and some judge/social services decided it was best to have a human child raised in Sarek's household, maybe he used his influence to foster her as part of his social experiment. He was acting more like a scientist and less like a potential parent.

Watch "The Galileo Seven". Spock struggles to comprehend his human officer's actions and reactions. This is a guy who was raised with a human sister? Nope. Does Kelvin Spock have a sister? He didn't even understand friendship until Kirk died.

As has been pointed out Michael was raised to be Vulcan. Her reaction would not be the same as a human raised to be human.
G7 is a fairly standard plot about the cold calculating commander thinking logic is better than emotion when in charge. Most Spock's reactions and comments could be said by a human. And as is usual for these things in Star Trek Spock is wrong. He's not really uncomprehending of Boma's reaction as he is exasperated by them.

Except, that's an enourmous retcon made after 50 years. It was in no way the intent of Spock's creators or writers for TOS, TAS, the classic movies or even the reboot movies for him to have a human sister and thus making his "attempts to understand humanity" a sham.

It's no bigger than the "Hey Klingons like Kor, Kang and Koloth NEVER looked human" retcon,

It wasn't the intend of Kirk's creators or writers for TOS for him to have a son, David Marcus. Yet somehow, by your logic, Wrath of Khan was a reboot of the franchise...

Killy! She is on the Kelvin Disco, and she's mean and nasty.

It turns out that Tilly skews towards nastiness and evil in just about every reality but a few.

I thought this was the Kelvin Discovery...

Watch "The Galileo Seven". Spock struggles to comprehend his human officer's actions and reactions. This is a guy who was raised with a human sister? Nope.

First of all, Spock is right in The Galileo Seven, the human officers there are acting like spoiled, racist, angry, irrational shits and his struggle to comprehend them is entirely understandable.

Second, even if it wasn't, by the time The Galileo Seven takes place Spock has already served in Starfleet for over a decade, and also spent time at the Academy before that, so a good 15-ish years literally surrounded by human Starfleet officers, so if you're okay with his bewilderment with that background, why are you not okay with Michael also thrown in the mix?

I could really love Sybok showing up on DISCO. His character was one of the best things about STV, and Luckinbill nailed it. I think he'd mesh perfectly with Burnham, Spock, Sarek, and Amanda. To round things out, we need to have filled in the blank of Sybok's mother (Crispin's T'Rea could work).

I just want a Sarek family series based on the flashback scenes from "Brother", with added Sybok, as the weird spiritual older brother.

The one who always smells like a Tito & Tarantula concert? Yeah, I can see that
