The whole idea of the original Sarek and Amanda was that he was total Vulcan and she was human. I recall the same thing about Sarek being disappointed because Spock went into the Federation and lived with humans.
Here's my prediction about the big reveal regarding the incident that made Burnham and Spock estranged for life.
Burnham was showering and Spock was peeping through a hole in the wall. Sarek crept up behind him thinking Spock was doing an experiment. Sarek spoke and frightened Spock so badly he jumped in the air, turned around and was jerking his little vulcan off uncontrollably. Burnham screamed, Sarek left the room in disgust and Amanda came running with a towel to help Spock. Now no one in that family has talked to each other for years.
Or, Burnham beat Spock in an arm wrestle and he's never forgiven her (SJW version).
Yeah, it wasn't on screen for very long, but it was definitely the Klingon Battle Cruiser of TOS (and later on, the movies as well). But of course they can't even get that right because AshVoq said something like "behold the new D-7 battle cruiser" so it's in desiign/build mode right now.
But last season when Lorca was taken prisoner by the Klingons (where he met AshVoq), the ship's computer identified THAT Kilngon ship as a D-7. No wonder they violate Trek canon so much, they can't even keep details of their own show right ffs

You know, I like to read some recap sites just because I like to see what others think, maybe I missed something, maybe get a different perspective on something...but holy hell Batman, 99.999999% of the sites that recap this show AND 99.999% of the commentators absolutely LOVE this show. Anyone in the comments section that even dares raise an issue with the show, whether the criticism is valid or not, they are jumped on from all sides. It's rabid.
From one of the Discovery subreddits for example
Here's a question...how do you think they will resolve the whole Michael Burnham character? Prior to Discovery, she was never mentioned or even hinted at. Will she have to die or have some other fate befall her before this series wraps up? Or do they just leave it an enigma and we have no idea what happens to her after Discovery but before TOS?
Two prime examples why I don't comment at Reddit and only view my other place. It's an instant argument and if I saw a question like - Why do people even complain, I would take the time to compile a post that would probably be three pages long. And then some bright light would call me a hater and who am I? A screenwriter? and it goes on and on.

Backstory says this takes place 10 years before Kirk and Spock. We can only PRAY the show doesn't last 10 years in real time.
It's a good question that will probably be answered with one of the most idiotic, unbelievable, dumbassed pieces of writing ever witnessed as a TV watching civilization.
Burnham was a robot created by Sarek or some similar shit.
No wait, that's too good for this show

I enjoy a pretty good rep at the recap site. I use my real name and rarely engage trolls. My go-to statement is that we're talking about entertainment and much like your favorite foods, there is no real argument here.
So when I encounter the trolls I dissect their posts line by line and calmly refute their pissy little comments and they rarely respond after that. There was this older poster named Anthony Chipoletti who knew Star Trek inside and out. He knew more about canonical ideas than most of us older viewers. He was on Twitter and every post of his was a link back to some article or aspect of the original show. It was annoying to read at times because instead of one post he would flood the thread with 38 one line comments with links It was messy...
But at one point I get him to start talking and he says he is in his 80's, was a small kid when Nazis were in Italy and he remembers a lot of early TV in the 50's. He was in America in the 60's and Star Trek helped him learn English.
Unfortunately he stopped posting because he got in an argument with one of these 20 year old winners we're talking about above. I'm sure the guy was legit because he used his real name across the board for commenting, Twitter and Facebook. I may have spelled it wrong. I told him he reminded me of my Dad who I lost and we became instant friends after that. I also called him Mr. Chipoletti.
