Why Are Spocks Siblings So...Dysfunctional?

The more sons you have, the more likely they are to get control of those resources...

Yeah part of over-population in the Star Trek era is mitigated by the possibility of colonization, but I still think a logical species like the Vulcans would have only as many children as they can raise well and as there are resources available.

Except, Vulcans are still susceptible to bouts of emotion, especially in regards to mating. Not saying there would not be any measures to support population planning, and allocation of resources.

True I didn't consider how Pon-Farr effects them. So there's likely a number of unplanned babies in Vulcan families.
 
I'm still hoping for At Home With the Sareks, featuring Sarek, Amanda, young Spock and Michael (played by their Discovery flashback actors) and teenage rebel Sybok. The first Star Trek sitcom, it writes itself.

I like it when I get to reuse a thing
 
Of course Vulcan pedigrees are likely to have a lot fewer generations per centuryo or millennium that human pedigrees, making tht feat a little less impressive.
.

This. As Vulcans have a life span longer than most Humans can trace their linage, it is not incredibly impressive for Vulcans. On the order of the Human English family whose estate dates to the reign of Henry VIII or some such.
 
Spoilers: If there was never any rain, the planet would be uninhabitable.

And if you took two seconds to take a sentence in context you might understand that I'm not against showing rain at all, I'm just tired of Discovery's tendency to make pretty much every planet they show cold, wet and/or snowy.

A by-product of the show filming in Canada. Stargate had the same problem. SNW might avoid it, since IIRC they plan on using those Volume things to digitally create their planets, like on The Mandalorian.
