Well obviously you care. You are replying.
And you are the exact fan Star Trek is looking for.... (Im sure just ur typical millenial)
Oh Spock had a sister all this time... PLEASE TELL ME MORE!!! OH SUPER COOL SHE IS RAISED BY VULCANS, BUT CRIES JUST LIKE A MILLENIAL!! FINALLY A STAR TREK THAT SPEAKS TO MY MILLENIAL HEART!
CANT WAIT TO TUNE IN NEXT WEEK!!
Hopefully they really dig deeper into the whole red angel thing.... Because Space, Black holes, and 4th dimensions just leave alot to be desired! I dont know bout u guys.... but id really like to see some more Angels!
Red ones!!
Thats why i dont watch discovery.
Thank goodness for Picard! I know its started kinda slow. But i hav full confidence before its over, the old crew will be together. And the crew of Enterprise will re-shape star fleet...... Its gonna set the bar for Star Trek
.
And you would be wrong.
There are reasons behind all of your silly complaints but obviously you're here to rant and get attention.. seems you're doing a good job of it so congrats I guess.
Funny how you attack everyone else based on what you perceive their age to be but yet you're the one acting like a child.
> Burnham isn't a Vulcan, she's a human, humans cry as part of our natural emotional reactions. It's actualy pretty healthy for a human to cry.
Lol.... I know its healthy. But goodness it cant be healthy to watch a human cry.. 1-hour a week. I dont know. Im just a human, raised by humans. 👽
Spock also had an empathy deficit but we know he becomes very empathetic later in his life. Which is why Michael Burnham was brought into the Family. Her purpose was to fill a role that taught Spock to feel Empathy something that Vulcans I think are expected to have without having the overbearing reverence effect that Spock felt towards his Mother. So that was the reasoning for Michael Burnham.
But he might not have learned it fully until the later events of season two of discovery. So the effect I think they wanted to tell with Spock's discovery story was him becoming the Spock everyone loves. So she was part of his Journey and he was part of hers. So I really think they did a very good job showing that off. Like her or hate her, at least they do a wonderful dynamic that morphs Spock into Spock. Kirk and his Friendship with him also helped him along too. But it all started with his foster sister. So the Spock in tos and the movies was shaped by his experiences with his Foster Sister. Given how secretive Spock was about his family. It makes sense why she was never ever mentioned. Which is why it makes sense canonically as he never mentioned Sybok or talked about him either until he had no real choice but to do so. Which was seen in Star Trek Five. So Spock won't mention Family like this unless he had to mention it was already canon before Discovery.
I liked how Sto did Burnham. One she has unique dialog for Romulan Characters. Not to found how they ended the second mission with her in it. But then I understand it was done so they could potentially use her again. Not sure why the Rock people created her for the mission but it might had something to do with the recent events with Jula and well the Network.
I know some people might not be to fond of the Character. But I think some of the things people really don't like about her and it has nothing to do with the actress but how she was written as a character. What people precieve to be bad writing tends to turn people off when it comes to characters.
She doesn't cry nearly that often. There's also always a reason for it. How dare they show that people are complex, and have emotional reactions to appropriate stimuli, right? Storytelling has moved on a bit over the last 54 years, sorry if you can't keep up.
I feel like there's a pithy phrase that should go here, something like Oklahoma Beemer. No, that's not quite right.
But seriously, Burnham is annoying, holier-than-thou, and what not. But next to the 'Planet of the Apes' masks those Klingons were wearing, she was just fine.
Now, even more seriously, Burnham is just part of the show. We need to deal with that. And, as BMR once said, 'gatekeeping' is, if not outright verboten, certainly frowned upon. Things tend to go downhill really fast when infighting starts over what is true Trek, and who belongs, etc. So, best we simply don't go there.
Okay, now you're just trolling. Should have seen that coming a mile wide.

Saavik's emotions in TWoK are due to the character initially being written as half-vulcan, half-romulan. That detail is never mentioned on screen though (filmed dialogue mentioning it was removed before the movie was released), and if I remember right the second actress played her completely emotionless like a pure vulcan, so her romulan heritage may not actually be canon. Anything that may have happened in a novel is also not canon.
Such as her banging David Marcus in the novelization for The Search For Spock? In Paramount/CBS's "TRIBBLE all books" world, does the novelization of a movie count as canon or not?
Per the OP, I'm not a fan of Burnam as written either. What mention there is of her heritage is incredibly shallow and mostly used as an excuse for her to act badly and I am baffled that she is considered some kind of moral leader on the show while clearly Saru, Pike, and (original) Georgiou have better moral compasses than she does. I am also quite disgusted with their treatment of Sarek who comes off very poorly.
Then again, it was an overpowering/overwhelming experience.
Anyways, Michael Burnham was shoehorned into Spock's family. There was no way that if she was adopted by Sarek and Amanda, that Sarek would have been the one to help her with her emotional trauma. Amanda, a former teacher, would have been the one to take Michael under her wing, and would have helped her with Post-Traumatic Syndrome.
Starting out I liked the back story or concert of Michael but after watching season 1 and half of season 2, yes she is getting on my nerves and I am fast forwarding half of her and stamits screen time. its like watching winey millennials
I am of the opinion that Disco is marmite and people who do not like it are scrabbling for every and any reason to slag it off.
> I quite like Burnham, prefer Tilly and the doctor and my wife's face is Saru.

Honestly I cannot tell you what it is about her. I wanted to give the show a chance, but there is just something about her bad acting or something that is just like watching fingernails scratching a board. I’m going to tuff it out and watch some more, but she may keep getting fast forwarded if this keeps up.
