Star Trek: Discovery	comment	Star Trek: Discovery is the sixth live-action Star Trek television series, premiering on September 24th, 2017. It was co-created by Bryan Fuller and Alex Kurtzman, with creative contributions by Nicholas Meyer; Kurtzman is the current co-showrunner with Michelle Paradise. Developed by CBS, Discovery airs in the United States on their streaming service Paramount+,note Originally named CBS All-Access. as well as in Canada on Space Channel and CraveTV. In other territories, the show's first three seasons were also broadcast to the rest of the world (bar Mainland China) on Netflix; the show exited Netflix in November 2021. It was previously announced that the series would not become available to international customers again until Paramount+ launched internationally in 2022, delaying the launch of season 4 in those regions. However, on November 24, 2021, in response to widespread fan outrage, Paramount announced that the program would release instead on November 26, 2021 in all markets in which the service is currently available. For those markets currently without the service, the episodes will instead premiere on the free ad-supported streaming service Pluto TV on the same timetable.The show is set in the "prime timeline" of the Star Trek universe (as opposed to the Kelvin timeline), about ten years before the five-year mission on the original Star Trek. It follows the voyages of the Federation starship USS Discovery, with its experimental new "spore drive" propulsion technology that enables instant teleportation. Unusually for a Star Trek show, the main characters do not mostly consist of the ship's senior staff with the captain as the main hero. The lead character is Science Officer Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green), a human raised by Vulcans. Other main characters include First Officer Saru (Doug Jones) of the previously-unseen Kelpien species; spore drive engineer Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp); Ensign Newbie Sylvia Tilly (Mary Wiseman); Lt. Ash Tyler (Shazad Latif), a security officer; Dr. Hugh Culber (Wilson Cruz), a medical officer and Stamets' life partner; and Captain Gabriel Lorca (Jason Isaacs). Michelle Yeoh also appears as Michael's mentor, Captain Phillipa Georgiou of the USS Shenzhou. The second season sees the addition of Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) to the main cast, and the third season introduces Cleveland "Book" Booker (David Ajala).Each season is built around a season-long serialized Story Arc. The first season, airing in 2017, concerns the Klingon Empire emerging from a century of isolationism to embark on a brutal crusade against the Federation, as well as a segue into the Mirror Universe. Notable recurring Klingon antagonists include T'Kuvma (Chris Obi), a charismatic visionary who wants to unite the 24 warring clans into one cohesive empire; L'Rell (Mary Chieffo), a Battle Deck Commander on his ship; and Voq (Javid Iqbal), a clanless and albino Klingon who serves him as "Sech qengwI'" (Torchbearer). Other recurring characters include Con Man Harry Mudd (Rainn Wilson), security chief Commander Landry (Rekha Sharma), Admiral Katrina Cornwell (Jayne Brook), and none other than Spock's parents Sarek (James Frain) and Amanda (Mia Kirshner), the people who adopted Michael. The second season, aired in 2019, moves on from the interstellar-war premise of the first as it involves Discovery investigating the mystery of seven strange red signals that have appeared across space and their link to a mysterious figure called the Red Angel. A younger Spock (Ethan Peck) becomes a recurring character, as does Pike's Number Two Number One (Rebecca Romijn); other new faces include engineer Jett Reno (Tig Notaro), security chief Nhan (Rachael Ancheril) and Section 31 operative Leland (Alan van Sprang). The third season (2020) features a major status-quo shift as Discovery travels forward in time 930 years to the late 32nd century, a time when the Federation has diminished after a galaxy-wide disaster known as "the Burn" destroyed all dilithium, the Phlebotinum which makes warp drive possible. Burnham, Cleveland Booker and the crew of Discovery attempt to get to the bottom of the situation. New recurring characters include the amnesiac Adira Tal (Blu del Barrio), Trill initiate Gray (Ian Alexander), Head of Starfleet Adm. Charles Vance (Oded Fehr), historian Kovich (David Cronenberg), and Arc Villain Osyraa (Janet Kidder). The fourth season (2021) features the spectre of an Earth-Shattering Kaboom as a Negative Space Wedgie, the "DMA" (Dark Matter Anomaly) sweeps through the galaxy, threatening to destroy all in its path while everyone tries to figure out what it is, where it came from and how to stop it. Opposing it is Federation President Laira Rillak (Chelah Horsdal) and Morally Ambiguous Doctorate Ruon Tarka (Shawn Doyle). The fifth season, to air in 2024, will be the show's last.The first season was released from September 2017 to February 2018, and the second season from January to April 2019. Additionally, four "Short Treks" — fifteen-minute-long episodes — were released leading up to the beginning of season 2. The third season was released from October 2020 to January 2021, and shortly after the third season premiere a fourth season was ordered, which premiered on November 18, 2021. In the lead-up to the third season, the first season began broadcasting on CBS in September 2020; it is unknown if later seasons will follow in making the jump to broadcast.Spinning off from season 2, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds was first announced in May 2020 and premiered two years later. Mount, Romijn and Peck reprise their roles, depicting their adventures aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise in the years preceding James Kirk's tenure as captain. Another spin-off series starring Michelle Yeoh's Phillipa Georgiou and concerning Section 31 was announced even earlier, but was put into Development Hell and is now intended to be reworked as a direct-to-streaming film. On March 30, 2023, Paramount announced Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, set in this era and focusing on the first new class of Starfleet Academy cadets since the Burn.Tropes:

Star Trek: Discovery / int_10134c97	comment	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety: Phasers are generally treated with a degree of respect and kept off or on the stun setting when they're not being used in combat. However, on one occasion, Admiral Cornwell angrily shoots a bowl of fortune cookies with a phaser set to maximum kill in a briefing room at a table surrounded by other people; a situation that could very easily have resulted in accidentally vaporising someone. There is also the Star Trek-specific example of standing on the transporter pads with weapons at the ready. While this means pointing their weapons at the transporter operator, it also means being able to quickly engage the enemy when they beam into the middle of their ship. Also, since the phasers are presumably set to stun, at worst they accidentally knock out the operator for a few minutes.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: Discovery follows the example set by the rebooted Star Trek movies in being more action-oriented, cynical, and violent than the previous TV shows in the franchise. More literally, even the lighting aboard Starfleet ships is darker than ever before (justified, at least for Discovery, by Captain Lorca's photosensitivity). Apart from the aforementioned stronger focus on action, the show is also more explicit and gratuitous in its depiction of violence, including many instances of Cruel and Unusual Death â€“ ranging from a literally "twisted" death via spore drive malfunction to someone getting ripped up by a rhino-sized tardigrade, execution via space vacuum and several forms of total disintegration.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_14ed6ab7	type	Does This Remind You of Anything?
Star Trek: Discovery / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: The Klingons' movement is reminiscent of Middle-Eastern terror groups. Additionally, T'Kuvma's plan to unify barbaric warring aliens in order to overthrow the Federation resembles Fu Manchu's plan to unify The East in order to destroy The West. The way they're portrayed is almost like the Klingon version of the The Fundamentalist. They're a splinter religious group that no one on the (supposedly diverse) High Council takes seriously, no matter what problems they have with each other, until T'Kuvma activates the ancient Beacon. After that, most are pissed because his is bound by faith and not by blood or marriage, and he basically calls himself the Klingon Messiah—but a few are intrigued. The casual racism toward humans displayed by some Vulcans toward Burnham (and other humans) could have been lifted straight from the way black and other visible minority Americans were (and sometimes still are) treated by white authorities. Burnham being a black woman merely makes the point clearer. That being said, however, racism from Vulcans to humans is not something new—it was first brought up back in TOS in the way that Spock was teased for being half-human, and further examples were seen in ENT.

In â€œDiscoveryâ€� she is much younger and more sympathetic, if a bit of a spoiled brat.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License â€“ Biology: In "Choose Your Pain," Burnham states that Ripper, "like its microscopic cousins on Earth," is capable of integrating foreign DNA into its genome by horizontal gene transfer. This plot point appears to have been inspired by a 2014 scientific paper that was found to be erroneous (the authors apparently mistook DNA of surrounding organisms as having been imported into the tardigrade specimen when it hadn't been). In "The Red Angel," Burnham is exposed to an atmosphere that clearly damages her skin. In an actual atmosphere like that, sheâ€™d need way more medical help. Weâ€™re talking Eye Scream and drowning in her own blood.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_1b89151e	comment	Forgotten Phlebotinum: The main source of conflict in Season Three is the Burn having destroyed most of the galaxy's dilithium (and through that, most warp-capable starships). But the Romulans use tame black holes to power their warp-capable ships, logically freeing them from reliance on dilithiumnote though they still mine it from planets like Remus, as established in Star Trek: Nemesis. This is never brought up, and indeed the unified Vulcan/Romulan government of Ni'Var seems to have been hit as hard by the Burn as everyone else, when they should have easily slipped into the role of the new galactic superpower. It's also mentioned that dilithium mines were drying up before the burn, and many projects to find alternate means of powering warp drives were sought, but the Romulan's singularity reactors are not mentioned. Also, Zefram Cochrane used a fission reactor to power the warp drive on the Phoenix in Star Trek: First Contact.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_1c5002bc	comment	Sarek is a deconstruction of The Stoic. While 99% of Vulcans fit this trope to some degree, there have been plenty of past examples (such as T'Pol and her family in Star Trek: Enterprise) demonstrating that Vulcans are entirely capable of being loving and expressive towards each other in their own way. Sarek, however, had difficulty displaying that kind of healthy affection towards his children, and there are signs that Spock and Michael learned from his example. The debacle with the Vulcan Science Academy, which was caused primarily by Sarek making decisions for them and refusing to tell them, becomes the flashpoint of familial conflict for years to come.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_1c9537cd	type	The Main Characters Do Everything
Star Trek: Discovery / int_1c9537cd	comment	The Main Characters Do Everything: The Shenzhou beams a raiding party onto a Klingon vessel that consists solely of Captain Georgiou and First Officer Burnham. They're rather quickly overwhelmed, and Georgiou gets killed. In "Context is for Kings,â€� the away team sent to the USS Glenn consists of four main characters and a Red Shirt, but all four are justified in their presence on the mission. Burnham, Stamets, and Tilly are all scientists, the latter two specifically experts in the accident they're been sent to investigate while Burnham works in the same field and is a quick study, and Landry is Chief of Security and naturally brought along the Red Shirt because he's part of her security staff. And as Burnham deduced, the away team mission is also a secret test by Captain Lorca. However, in a bit of an inversion from the Star Trek norm, Lorca himself is very rarely shown taking part in away missions, reflecting the original remit of TNG that the captain stays aboard and the first officer and crew go into harm's way, although in this series, First Officer Saru also rarely leaves the ship. Indeed, the first time Lorca leaves the ship, he is captured by the Klingons. Given that the series overall plays into a Lower-Deck Episode as most of the cast is not the senior staff, the trope is undermined in that way. Still, it does start to call into question how often these characters are called on to do important tasks despite likely not being the most qualified for the job, including away missions or shuttle piloting. Most particular is that Burnham is a disgraced prisoner on parole and Tyler is a POW gradually showing signs of PTSD.

But a giant metal spaceship popping in and out of two different dimensions wreaks havoc on at least one of those dimensions. It's not explained particularly well in the series itself, but Discovery's core premise is basically "what if hyperspace was a gigantic fungal ecosystem?"

Star Trek: Discovery / int_2504772e	comment	Walking Spoiler: It's nearly impossible to discuss Captain Lorca without spoiling the biggest twist of the first season. The involvement of the Terran Empire in general is itself a twist, given that the plot up till then was driven by the Klingon-Federation War, but has since become a Late-Arrival Spoiler.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_259d5879	comment	The Discovery crew wear a brand-new uniform quite different from what previous media had established for this time period. These are described in-show as "new uniforms," which not all starships have yet adopted. (In the second season, the crew of the Enterprise wear uniforms based on the classic look, combining the bold primary colors with Discovery's cowl collar and slightly-offset vertical zipper.) Additionally, the Discovery badges include rank pips in the 24th-century TNG style, bringing in a dash of Anachronism Stew.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Star Trek: Discovery / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: Discovery's design is based on concept art from the cancelled Made-for-TV Movie Star Trek: Planet of the Titans which evolved into the defunct Star Trek: Phase II, a canned sequel to Star Trek: The Original Series that was turned into Star Trek: The Motion Picture. A notable loudspeaker announcement audible in the background of "Into the Forest I Go:" The Shenzhou and her crew end up in serious trouble at the hands of the Klingons near the territory of the Klingon Empire. At the start of Star Trek (2009), the U.S.S. Kelvin is patrolling the Klingon border when it encounters Nero and the Narada and comes under assault. The design of the U.S.S. Shenzhou seems remarkably similar to NX-class and Akira-class ships from other Trek series, and has the same basic layout as the seldom-seen Centaur-class; not to mention non-canon depictions of the Luna-class. The main difference from other previously-seen Starfleet ships is that the bridge appears to be on the underside of the Shenzhou's primary hull. Discovery, meanwhile, has gaps in its primary hull that, while smaller and understated, mirror the design of the USS Vengeance from Star Trek Into Darkness. The captain of the ship is killed, the first officer survives to do great things, a villain uses the abandoned ship against the Federation. Aside from the reputation gained, not too different from Picard's background. Apparently, Klingons enjoy eating fried Ceti Eels, as they're sold on the streets of Qo'noS. Star Trek: The Next Generation establishes redundant organs are a feature of Klingon biology. This series confirms that at the very least, male Klingons have two penises. Possibly unintentional, but this is not the first time an Enterprise met nose to nose with a Discovery. At one point Lorca has to communicate while disguising his voice, pretending to be ship's engineer and giving himself a Scottish accent. This is after Jason Isaacs is putting on an American accent. In "An Obol for Charon," Pike remarks about current Enterprise engineer, Chief Louvier, "I don't think that Enterprise will ever have a chief engineer more in love with his ship." Apparently, a certain Montgomery Scott has yet to arrive onboard.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: The spore drive itself. It proves quite useful for Hit-and-Run Tactics throughout the Klingon War — and gets taken up to eleven when Discovery uses it for a Teleport Spam attack that takes down the Klingon flagship. That said, one of its major drawbacks is that it requires a sentient, organic navigator to function, and only two have been utilized — a giant tardigrade and an enhanced human, both of whom were pushed beyond the limits of their endurance and almost killed. In addition, it's discovered that improper use of the mycelial energy has deleterious effects on the entire network, which would not only render the spore drive useless but also bring destruction to the entire multiverse. It is therefore no surprise that once the Klingon War ends, Starfleet effectively decommissions the spore drive.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_3322dd48	comment	Hollywood Law: In "Context Is for Kings,â€� Burnham suspects Captain Lorca is developing biological weapons aboard Discovery and cites the Geneva Conventions' ban on them to him. There's a couple of problems with this: In real life, the Geneva Conventions actually don't outlaw bioweapons; those are covered by a different set of treaties (the 1925 Geneva Protocol prohibits their use but not their creation, while the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention outlaws them altogether). However, in addition to citing the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention as above, Burnham also cites a fictional 22nd-century version of the Conventions under which these are covered. In "The Battle at the Binary Stars,â€� Burnham and Captain Georgiou attach a torpedo warhead to a corpse so T'Kuvma's ship will collect the body and allow the warhead to go off within their ship. This directly violates Article 6 of 1980 Protocol II of the Geneva Conventions, which pertains to attaching booby-traps to wounded or dead persons. This makes her complaint to Lorca rather hypocritical.

She specifically defies this, saying she wants to be punished, so he reveals that he picked her because of the real her and not the popular misconception of her, convincing her that above it all he does mean well. As it turns out, Lorca anticipated this outcome and set up the scenario so she would trust him, failing to realize he does have morally gray intentions which he intends for her to aid without realizing it). Burnham herself pulls one on Kol in "Into the Forest I Go,â€� exploiting the Klingon's love for theatrics by challenging him to a mek'leth duel, delaying him from leaving the Pahvo system while Discovery tries to crack his ship's cloaking frequencies.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_3bc88a7f	comment	Foregone Conclusion: We knew Burnham wouldn't stay imprisoned for her mutiny, but would eventually be given a place on Discovery. The question was over who would have the muscle to pull those strings for her. It turns out that it was Captain Lorca apparently arranging her presence on his ship. The new biological propulsion system won't have any wide-ranging effect on interstellar travel, given what we know about the state of warp drive for the next century or so in the Prime continuity. The Federation and the Klingon Empire will eventually make peace and revert to a cold war, or else neither side would continue to exist ten years later. Likewise, nothing too drastic will happen to Earth or Qo'noS since both planets are seen in other series later on. Deep Space Nine showed that ultimately, it doesn't really matter who is the Emperor or Empress in the Mirror Universe. As a result of the TOS episode "Mirror Mirror," Spock becomes Emperor, then the Empire is conquered by the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance. The Short Treks episode "Calypso,â€� aired between the first and second seasons, shows that the U.S.S. Discovery survives the events of the series and eventually ends up abandoned somewhere within the galaxy a full millennium later; however, it doesn't reveal why or how the ship ended up in that state. In the Short Trek "The Trouble with Edward,â€� the moment Edward mentions that the Tribbles have a low breeding rate but that he can modify them to change that, you know that he will, with dire consequences.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
Star Trek: Discovery / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: What happens when an officer assaults her commanding officer, attempts a mutiny in an incipient combat situation, and tries to launch an unauthorized, unprovoked attack in direct violation of her standing orders? She's sentenced to life in prison. For a main character in a Trek series, where the various crews have defied the admiralty with frequency, that's actually pretty startling. It turns out that a Nigh-Invulnerable alien creature that can shrug off full-power phaser blasts like nothing also can't be easily sedated. Burnham is the only one who theorizes this might be the case, but Commander Landry doesn't listen to her, and promptly gets killed as a result. It also turns out that when the Mirror Universe version of Discovery gets swapped into the Prime Universe, and her crew — full of insane, racist, Absolute Xenophobe Terran Empire officers — decides to go all Attack Pattern Jenkins Alpha against the Klingon forces, they promptly get their ship destroyed and get themselves Killed Offscreen. Just because the Emperor of the evil Empire looks like your dead friend does not mean she bears any resemblance to her in anything but appearance. It takes Burnham a long time to realize that the Mirror Universe Phillipa is not her friend and is in fact pretty much as evil and is certainly as big an Absolute Xenophobe as everyone else in her universe. So you just saved the entire Federation? Cool, except you're also the aforementioned officer who assaulted her captain and tried to launch an unprovoked attack to start the war in the first place. So no, you don't get back your former job as first officer, or even better, a promotion; instead, you're only let back into Starfleet at your old rank, but are then shunted sideways to become the science officer. As such, it is still very unlikely that Burnham will ever have a command of her own, and she is now (at most) the second officer on Discovery — behind Commander Saru, who Burnham used to outrank when they both served aboard the Shenzhou.

Great, except that most of the ship's crew still have friends and family who will naturally be unlikely to deny their existence, and The Federation obviously isn't dark enough to silence them permanently. There's also the matter of Discovery and her crew being integral to resolving the Klingon war, and all of whom were celebrated and promoted at a ceremony in the middle of Paris. Not to mention that Burnham herself was notorious across the Federation for her actions back in the series pilot, and her redemption would likely have made her something of a media sensation. And there's nothing to stop the Klingons from writing songs about the ship that sacrificed itself by jumping into the future. If Starfleet had let the Enterprise crew's lie about the ship's "destruction" be the official story, that would have been plausible; as it is, it's hard to imagine how they would enforce total secrecy among so many people.

The aliens prove to be so unlike anything that had been encountered earlier, the universal translator doesn't work, and the team sent to negotiate with them has a very hard time establishing even basic communication.

This is deconstructed as well, since as Captain Lorca points out, if they are not ready to take down the Klingons immediately upon pulling this tactic, they run the risk of being rapidly overwhelmed since no other Starfleet ship has this abilitynote since the USS Glenn is destroyed early on and the class ship, the USS Crossfield, has not been seen or mentioned yet, and thus they will never have any backup.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_4f08f3cb	comment	Conditioned to Be Weak: This is revealed to have happened to the entire Kelpien race: originally, they were apex predators who nearly drove another race known as the Ba'ul to extinction only for the latter to turn the tide with their superior technology. Instead of wiping them out, they decided to make sure the Kelpiens could never challenge them again by instituting a belief system known as "The Great Balance" that decreed that the Kelpiens were a prey species for the Ba'ul. The same belief system claimed that the vahar'ai, a painful biological process all Kelpiens undergo was a mark of being chosen to be culled, and any Kelpien who refused would suffer horrible pain and madness. In reality, the vahar'ai causes the loss of the Kelpien's fear ganglia and gives them far greater offensive abilities, which was what allowed them to hunt the Ba'ul in the first place. After discovering the truth, Saru triggers vahar'ai in the entirety of the rest of his race, which allows them to fight back against the Ba'ul and in the distant future, the two races seem to have come to an understanding.

Season two retcons this into a fairly different situation: Kaminar is an idyllic world where the Kelpiens live in total harmony with their environment, but are ritualistically culled by the technologically-superior Ba'ul species when they begin a biological process called vahar'ai. In the first season's "Choose Your Pain,â€� an original Klingon design is described as being a "D7-class battle cruiser,â€� evidently meant to be a retcon of the classic TOS design. In season two's "Point of Light,â€� however, the classic D7 is introduced as a brand new model of Klingon warship, with no mention whatsoever of the one seen in season one. (According to source material, the ship from season one is actually a Sech-class, and was erroneously identified In-Universe as a D7.)

They even have the same helmswoman for the heroes' ship in both episodes. Where the first battle ends in a massive defeat for the Starfleet forces, the second battle ends with the one-sided defeat of the Klingons. The first and last episodes of the first season have Burnham considering a mutiny while debating the practical value of Federation ideals. The first time she mutinies against Captain Georgiou to try and attack the Klingons, but is opposed by the crew, the latter time she threatens to mutiny against Admiral Cornwell when they are tasked with a mission that violates those ideals, and this time her crew supports her in order to save the Klingons. As a result, she is imprisoned and stripped of her commission in the pilot, and pardoned and reinstated in the season finale. The third season both starts and ends with orphaned Starfleet officer Aditya Sahil. It also begins with "That Hope Is You, Part 1" and ends with Part 2, with the other 11 episodes of the season in between.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_55ea5620	comment	Cosmetically-Advanced Prequel: Computer screens and ship designs all look like they came from the Kelvin timeline, not the TOS era. Captain Georgiou mentions that the Shenzhou is an old ship, which could explain its resemblance to the ships of Star Trek: Enterprise, but this doesn't excuse Discovery and her contemporaries having terminals with holographic displays, which make the tech 100 years later look primitive by comparison. This is lampshaded in season 2, where Commander Nhan quips about Starfleet obviously devoting a large budget to the ship. (The first novel contains a brief reference to the holograms being "total data hogs," possibly meant to imply that the designers of later ships found them Awesome, but Impractical — it's specifically mentioned that Constitution-class ships are more advanced, and have the same viewscreens we saw in The Original Series.) In a subtle "show-not-tell" moment, Shenzhou's holographic communications are actually revealed to be extremely short ranged as well. The aforementioned novel places the Enterprise in a nearby orbit when Georgiou orders them used, and in the show proper it's briefly used when the admiral's ship is passing by at a range where Semaphore could be used just as easily. Between the novel's statement that holograms functionally eat up a ton of processor power and the implication that the range on them is ridiculously short, it's not hard to see why Starfleet opted to shelve the technology until it was less limited. In Season 2, when informed that the holographic comms on Enterprise are causing issues with the other systems as the ship is being repaired, Pike orders them removed as unnecessary and states they'll just use normal viewscreens. He thinks it makes people look like ghosts, anyway. The props, however, such as the phasers, tricorders, communicators, etc., seem very close to the original designs while still looking futuristic.

Also Stella, Harryâ€™s fiancÃ©e. In TOS, she was portrayed as a one-note harridan who was always nagging Harry about something. In â€œDiscoveryâ€� she is much younger and more sympathetic, if a bit of a spoiled brat. As the real Stella never appeared in the flesh in TOS, this may simply be due to Harry being an Unreliable Narrator when it comes to her personality, and he may have decided to Accentuate the Negative to an absurd degree.

By the time of TOS, hostilities with the Klingons will have settled into a mostly cold war that sees neither side with a distinct advantage. This means, regardless of whatever gains the Klingons make here, the Federation will eventually drive them back. By the same token, the Federation won't deal so crippling a blow that the Klingons will be incapable of fighting, just forced to keep to their borders for the most part. In Season 2, we know that Captain Pike will survive, and go on to teach at Starfleet Academy, since he shows up in the Original Series, paralyzed and clinging to life after a training accident in "The Menagerie.â€� At the beginning of Season 2, Spock has gone on leave from the Enterprise for parts unknown.

Even Starfleet seems to believe this, with senior officers dismissing Burnham's warnings with comments about how the Klingons are disorganized and factionalized.

Viewers were quick to point out how this trivializes many plots, such as the earlier series Star Trek: Voyager (set a century later) in its entirety had the season 2 finale not declared the entire project Over-the-Top Secret. Naturally the series soon began running headlong into Forgotten Phlebotinum, with probably the most egregious instance being the season 2 finale: instead of jumping Discovery beyond the reach of standard warp drives and having all the time in the world to charge the time crystal safely, the crew jumps to Xahea to get help charging it faster, and then fights an operationally unnecessary Big Badass Battle Sequence for little more reason than the show "needing" the Arc Villain to be dealt with.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_8e20979	comment	Wham Episode: "The Wolf Inside.â€� Ash Tyler is outed as the Klingon Voq, who attacks and nearly murders Michael; Stamets is lost to the mycelial network and somehow meets his mirror counterpart there; and the Terran Emperor is revealed to be Mirror Georgiou, who bombards the surface of Harlak and apparently wipes out the anti-Imperial resistance. "Vaulting Ambition.â€� Michael is forced to admit to Georgiou that she's from the prime universe; L'Rell erases Voq's personality to save Tyler's life; Stamets learns that the mycelia network is dying from his mirror universe counterpart's experiments and that this corruption could destroy all life in the multiverse; and Michael realizes that her Captain Lorca is actually from the mirror universe and everything he has done has been for the sole purpose of returning to the mirror universe and resuming his coup against Georgiou. "Saints of Imperfection.â€� Tilly and the crew save the mycelial network (again), Mirror Universe Georgiou and Ash Tyler return to Discovery as agents of Section 31, and Hugh Culber is brought Back from the Dead with help from "May". "Project Daedalus.â€� The crew learns that Section 31 is being manipulated by its rogue threat assessment AI, Control, which is also the being that destroys all sentient life in the Bad Future. Nhan is forced to kill Airiam to stop Control's plans for now. "The Red Angel.â€� Leland reveals that Michael's parents were scientists working on the Red Angel suit for Section 31's Project Daedalus, and that they died because a mistake Leland made tipped off the Klingons to their location. Control hacks Leland's ship, stabs him in the eyes, and impersonates him. The crew captures the Red Angel and learn that she is Michael's supposedly dead mother. "Such Sweet Sorrow,â€� the two-part second season finale, completely changes the scope of the series. To prevent Control from ever obtaining the sphere data, Michael becomes the second Red Angel and takes herself and Discovery on a one-way trip to the far future. Michael sent the first five signals to ensure a scenario where Discovery and the Enterprise could defeat Control's armada. Cornwell sacrifices herself to save the Enterprise. Tyler is made the new commander of the reformed Section 31. To ensure that no one can ever finding out where Discovery and the sphere data are, Pike, Spock, Tyler, and Number One convince the Federation that Discovery was destroyed in a spore drive accident and that Discovery and her crew should be Unpersoned.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_91e894b4	comment	Apocalypse How: In "Vaulting Ambition"/"What's Past is Prologue,â€� Class X-5 is imminent thanks to the I.S.S. Charon's mycelial reactor, which is poisoning the network and could kill everything in The Multiverse if left unchecked. A Federation colony, Kelfour VI, suffered a Class 3a courtesy of the Klingons during the Time Skip between "What's Past is Prologue" and "The War Without, The War Within.â€� Class 6 nearly happens to Qo'noS in "Will You Take My Hand?", and it's revealed that Emperor Georgiou already did it in the Mirror Universe. The Red Angel in Season 2 is trying to prevent a Class 6 across the entirety of our galaxy, apparently caused in the future by a fully conscious, malevolent A.I. Season 3 sees the rare case of a Class 1 applied across an entire galaxy, as most interstellar powers have collapsed due to â€œthe Burnâ€�, a mysterious event that suddenly turned all dilithium into useless rocks, causing countless ships to explode and grinding interstellar travel to a near halt. Though the Discovery crew are able to find out what happened and prevent it from reoccurring, and galactic society begins to rebuild. In season 4, Class X happens to Kwejian in S 4 E 01 â€œKobayashi Maruâ€�, courtesy of the massive gravitational waves from an unidentified Dark Matter Anomaly, which can change direction at any time and do the same to countless other inhabited worlds.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_97f53f5b	comment	Superweapon Surprise: The Klingons and the Federation each have an ace up their sleeves: The Klingons' cloaking devices and the Federation's spore drive. Both sides' ability to deploy this, at least early on, is similarly limited, with only two of T'Kuvma's ships shown as having a cloaking device (one destroyed, one damaged), and only two of the Federation's starships having the spore drive (with one in commission, the other destroyed). And like any surprise, the surprise quickly wears off for the spore drive as the Klingons figure out which ship is using it and do their best to find out how it works, and Starfleet begins working out a number of ways to defeat the cloak. The Terran Empire has managed to weaponize the mycelial network itself, allowing them to utterly destroy planets as seen with Harlak in "The Wolf Inside.â€� This has the side-effect of slowly poisoning the network, potentially leading to the deaths of everything in The Multiverse.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: In "Lethe,â€� Vice Admiral Cornwell reminisces with Captain Lorca about a past event, and Lorca appears to not remember, only to say he's considering how long it has been since. It sets up the reveal that Lorca is actually his Mirror Universe self. The reveal that Lorca sleeps with a phaser and responds with paranoia at being awakened is initially assumed by Cornwell to be a symptom of PTSD. It's actually due to the fact Lorca, being from the Mirror Universe, is necessarily paranoid and always has to be prepared to defend himself. In "Context is for Kings,â€� Burnham quotes several lines from Alice in Wonderland while crawling through a maintenance shaft. Beyond the obvious reference (the book being important to Burnham, and her crawling down a proverbial rabbit-hole), the book also happens to have a sequel, Through the Looking-Glass. While this may not have been intentional, it foreshadows the coming trip to the Mirror Universe. In "Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum,â€� after Stamets leaves the spore drive chamber, he looks at Tilly and dazedly calls her 'captain'. When USS Discovery finds its way to the Mirror Universe, it turns out that Tilly is the captain of the ISS Discovery. Over the course of the first chapter, there is a recurring motif of mirrors and reflections. Lorca, Stamets and Burnham are involved particularly often, and all three are revealed to have some ties to the Mirror-Universe. Throughout Season Three, Discovery's DOT-23s are repeatedly shown going about their business, usually in establishing shots doing hull maintainence or the like. In order to fix in the minds of the audience that they exist, and thus are a place the Sphere Data can hide in to prevent being deleted by the Orions and directly assist the crew in retaking the ship in the final two episodes of the season.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_ab5eea65	comment	Dramatic Irony: Any fan of the original series is likely familiar with Captain Pike's eventual fate, and Season 2 seems to take particular pride in taunting the audience about this: When Discovery first meets Enterprise, her comms system is malfunctioning, and Pike can only communicate via Morse Code, or a series of beeps. Once Pike comes aboard, he notes that Lorca's old ready room has nowhere to sit. All of this leads up to Pike being given a vision of his future, showing exactly what will happen to him and why, if he sticks to his current path.

Burnham, Stamets, and Tilly are all scientists, the latter two specifically experts in the accident they're been sent to investigate while Burnham works in the same field and is a quick study, and Landry is Chief of Security and naturally brought along the Red Shirt because he's part of her security staff. And as Burnham deduced, the away team mission is also a secret test by Captain Lorca.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_ad9559e6	comment	Arc Villain: Promotional material built T'Kuvma up as the series' Big Bad and ultimate antagonist, but he is killed in the second episode, though in such a way that he becomes a martyr and his ideology lives on. In the end, it's General Kol who ends up winning the ensuring power struggle and becomes the first season's antagonist, while Voq and L'Rell end up playing second string with their own undefined plans. Meanwhile, the secondary 'Mirror Universe' arc has Gabriel Lorca as a Big Bad Wannabe using the ship as part of his own personal long con to go back home to the Mirror Universe, so he can continue his attempt to overthrow Emperor Phillipa Georgiou. Control is revealed to be this in Season 2, as its future self is responsible for wiping out all sentient life in the galaxy, and is trying to evolve its past self into sentience by downloading all the knowledge the Sphere accumulated about artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, its present self went rogue and killed everyone at Section 31 headquarters, including the admirals in charge, then impersonated them and framed Spock for murder, before later preforming a Grand Theft Me on Captain Leland and hijacking their entire fleet of ships, all for the purpose of capturing Discovery. It's later revealed that its Evil Plan is to fulfill its original purpose of ensuring the survival of sapient life by becoming the only sapient life form in the galaxy reasoning that protecting all life is impossible, so long as other life exists. Subverted in Season 3, whose Big Bad (Osyraa, leader of the Emerald Chain) is incidental to the setting. The primary conflict of the season is the Discovery crew getting acclimated to the After the End Used Future they find themselves in, and doing what they can to Set Right What Once Went Wrong. Like any post-apocalyptic setting, there's predators and pirates around, and one of them is certainly fought during the season finale, but that fight is resolved before the "Set Right What Once Went Wrong" bit, indicating its lesser importance.

The Discovery crew shift from the 2250s-era blue uniforms to the same Starfleet uniforms as their 32nd-century contemporaries. Burnham also gets a new uniform: she switches from Sciences blue (well, silver in that era) to Command red because she is now The Captain. Fun fact: she is one of exactly three Star Trek characters to ever switch colors; both Worf and La Forge started out in red in the first season of TNG before switching to gold; Worf changed back after he was transferred to DS9.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_b1ed0e0c	type	Rank Up
Star Trek: Discovery / int_b1ed0e0c	comment	Rank Up: In contrast to other Star Trek series, this happens to the characters on a fairly regular basis. Generally justified in-universe on account of Asskicking Leads to Leadership. Burnham starts off by inverting this trope, getting stripped of her rank and imprisoned following her mutiny in the Battle of the Binary Stars. Even when Mirror-Lorca brings her aboard Discovery, she is an unranked crew specialist for almost the entire remainder of the first season. Burnham's former Shenzhou crewmates Saru and Detmer get promoted during the Klingon War before they are both assigned to Discovery. Saru goes from lieutenant-commander to full commander and Number Two to Lorca, and Detmer goes from lieutenant junior-grade to full lieutenant. At the end of the Klingon War and of the first season, Burnham is restored to her former rank of full commander. In recognition of their contributions, Stamets goes from lieutenant to lieutenant-commander, and Tilly goes from being a cadet to a commissioned ensign. At the end of the second season, Ash Tyler receives a promotion to full commander as the new head of Section 31. Early in the third season, Saru finally gets promoted to captain and formally placed in command of Discovery, as Captain Pike stayed with the Enterprise in the 23rd century. With Saru on a leave of absence, Burnham finally gets her promotion to captain of Discovery at the end of the third season. This trope gets taken up to eleven between the third and fourth seasons. By the fourth season premiere, "Kobayashi Maru", Stamets and Culber are now commanders, Detmer, Rhys, Nilsson, Bryce and Owosekun are all lieutenant-commanders, Tilly is now a full lieutenant, and Dr. Pollard has jumped all the way from originally being a lieutenant junior-grade to full commandernote three grades, for anyone keeping count.

The U.S.S. Hiawatha in the second season premiere "Brother" is a Starfleet medical vessel with the registry number NCC-815, which crashed on an asteroid full of exotic matter and gravity distortions and wasn't found until rescue arrived by chance most of a year later. Sounds a lot like Oceanic Flight 815, which crashed on a deserted island in the Pacific full of exotic matter and gravity distortions in the premiere episode of Lost. Many Federation ships are named for 20th-century astronauts and cosmonauts (the Glenn, the Gagarin, etc). Sadly they seem to be the Red Shirts of the fleet.

The hull is covered with coffins as a form of "symbolic armor.â€� Likewise the Terran flagship I.S.S. Charon, which is the size of a city and has an ornate superstructure containing what looks like a miniature sun that powers the entire vessel. The U.S.S. Enterprise makes a cameo at the end of the first season, slightly modernized but still very much the same ship seen in Star Trek: The Original Series. In Season Two the iconic Klingon D7 battlecruiser makes its debut.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_ca81eae7	type	Hollywood Darkness
Star Trek: Discovery / int_ca81eae7	comment	Previous shows showed all ships lit fairly evenly. Beyond any scale differences or design changes, the key difference in how Discovery ships look is how their running lights illuminate the hull in a dominant way, which makes them much darker and with sharper lighting note The Voyager episode "Night" is something of a precursor to this look, as the ship passed through a region of space that was fundamentally empty and the native environment even blocked starlight, making the ship almost impossible to see against the blackness of space. This is somewhat Truth in Television, depending on whether the ships are actually in a solar system or not - if you're in interstellar space, a couple of lightyears from the nearest star, then it's going to be as dark as a clear moonless night on Earth.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_ca95473c	type	Series Continuity Error
Star Trek: Discovery / int_ca95473c	comment	Series Continuity Error: Both Federation and Klingon vessels have holographic communicators which allow a fully voiced and mobile projection of the speaker on the other end. In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, similar holographic communicators were introduced for a brief period and treated as a new technology. They were also less advanced, limited to a single projector on the floor, though with a clearer image at least. The Scimitar in Star Trek: Nemesis had a similar technology that could project a hologram onto another ship, which may be where this series got the idea. Discovery has site-to-site transport capability that can be performed by the computer on demand, such as when Landry is beamed straight to sickbay after being injured elsewhere on the ship. In TOS, this technique was considered dangerous to perform and had to be done manually. May be justified since Discovery is a cutting edge science vessel with tons of classified technology not yet approved for use elsewhere. One case that was decried as an error but actually isn't is that all of Starfleet uses the chevron insignia, whereas fans (and some non-canon Star Trek Expanded Universe writers) had assumed based on some production mistakes that the chevron was only the insignia for the Enterprise. The TOS production team had intended for the chevron to be the branch insignia for all starship personnel, not just for the crew of the Enterprise, but costumer William Ware Theiss mistakenly gave the USS Exeter its own insignia in "The Omega Glory.â€� note Though TOS and later series did decide to take the mistake and run with it; canonically establishing a unique assignment patch for the starships Constellation, Defiant, Antares, and the space station Epsilon IX, but never actually committing to the idea that the Starfleet Delta was exclusive to Enterprise. This series follows Star Trek: Enterprise's example of depicting cloaking devices in use decades prior to their "official" debut in "Balance of Terror.â€� In The Original Series episode â€œThe Tholian Web,â€� Spock remarks that there is "absolutely no record" of a mutiny aboard a Federation starship, which is kind of weird when his own sister did exactly that. This is somewhat justified in the season finale when Michael's mutiny is stricken from the record, retroactively making Spock's comment a case of Exact Words instead. In "The Changing Face of Evil,â€� late in the run of DS9, General (later Chancellor) Martok remarks that not even the Klingons had ever attempted to attack Earth before the Breen raid. By the final two episodes of the first season of Discovery, set a century earlier, Klingon forces capture Starbase 1 "right in Earth's back yard,â€� according to Admiral Cornwell (said to be 100 AUs distant), and are later shown in Earth orbit and about to launch a direct attack when L'Rell wins power and calls off the Empire's forces.

Subverted and deconstructed near the end of the season: with each House acting independently, Starfleet can't coordinate a defense and suffers terribly as the Klingons compete to see who can destroy the most Federation assets.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_cd52fd56	comment	The Aesthetics of Technology: The show falls into a similar issue with Star Trek: Enterprise where modern special effects along with costume, sets and prop designs will innately look far more advanced than what was available in the 1960's. Unlike all previous shows Discovery made the leap to fully alter the design scheme of the TOS era itself, looking a little bit like the Alternate Timeline movies but set in the official timeline, including showing classic ships and recasting multiple characters. The depiction of the technology will feel more advanced than even the shows made in 1987-2005, but as time went on the show will hint that various technologies come and go depending on their versatility and viability (which is very true in real world tech adoption). The one most clearly stated was how in the first season they used casual holographic displays for communication, but in the second season it's stated the tech was unstable, uses too much bandwidth and Captain Pike disliked talking to ghost-like apparitions, showing the return to reliable viewscreen communication.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_cda501da	comment	Killed Off for Real: Aside from Burnham, the Anyone Can Die trope was pretty much in effect during the show's first three seasons, with no character safe from suddenly biting it. As such, the only characters to actually die were Ensign Danby Connor, Captain Philippa Georgiou, T'Kuvma, Commander Ellen Landry, General Kol, Captain Gabriel Lorca, Lieutenant-Commander Airiam, Lieutenant junior grade/Specialist Kamran Gant, Captain Leland, Admiral Katrina Cornwell, Control, Ryn, Zareh and Osyraa.. Played with with regards to Voq, who was surgically altered to become Ash Tyler sometime between the events of The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry and the appearance of his alter ego in Choose Your Pain, but since his body was technically still alive, his identity had effectively been dismantled after his deep cover identity - a copy of an actual Starfleet officer's consciousness - proved to be too strong to discard and the resulting conflict threatened to kill them both in Vaulting Ambition, until his remaining Klingon memories of Voq were permanently wiped out by his former ally and lover, L'Rell, once and for all. Subverted with Mirror!Philippa Georgiou in Terra Firma, Part Two, as her death was faked for the Federation's benefit since the crew had to illegally break the Temporal Accords by allowing her to travel back into the past so that she could finally survive the life threatening condition that was slowly (and painfully) killing her.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_df410b77	type	Decoy Protagonist
Star Trek: Discovery / int_df410b77	comment	Decoy Protagonist: This is the first Star Trek series in which The Captain is not The Protagonist. Instead, it's Cmdr. Michael Burnham, who starts off as Number Two. Meanwhile, the captains of the Shenzhou (Michelle Yeoh as Phillipa Georgiou) and Discovery (Jason Isaacs as Gabriel Lorca, Anson Mount as Christopher Pike, and Doug Jones as Saru) are all officially supprorting characters. It's also subverted in that Burnham, despite the above, is absolutely central to the show's mythology; basically anything important that happens, must involve her somehow, even when the show has to jump through hoops to do it. (Perhaps the best example is Season 3's "Forget Me Not," when Burnham gets involved in someone else's Journey to the Center of the Mind.) T'Kuvma winds up being a Decoy Antagonist, shot by Burnham moments after he killed Georgiou.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_e0113647	type	Decon-Recon Switch
Star Trek: Discovery / int_e0113647	comment	Decon-Recon Switch: Discovery starts off far more violent than past Star Trek shows, and the main conflict kicks off when a character believes in peace and diplomacy so much, they walk right into a trap that starts a terrible war. The main characters end up being crew with a strong 'ends justify the means' attitude, with a captain working on ethically-ambiguous technology and a security officer who treats others as subhuman. However, things start to change as the security officer's own arrogance gets her killed, a different solution is found for the experimental technology, and the turning point in the war comes when the heroes disobey orders in order to defend a peaceful planet even after it betrayed them. In the first season finale, Michael reminds the crew and Admiral Cornwall that Starfleet's principles are important, even in times of war. The conflicts against Emperor Georgiou and the Klingon Empire are resolved through diplomacy, which is in keeping with the values of the franchise. Still fully deconstructed is the idea that "humanity has evolved beyond our darker impulses" (early The Next Generation, and what Burnham attempts with Vulcan training), but the new message is that humans can keep those impulses from controlling them in each moment (while the Mirror Universe is presented as a warning of the downward spiral of fear that results when they don't). Season Three continues the theme, showing a Federation and Starfleet pushed to the point of desperation, irrelevancy, and nonexistence by "The Burn," which destroyed nearly all the dilithium (and warp-capable ships, including almost all of the Federation's) in the galaxy. At the start, Starfleet and the Federation are The Remnant that few even know still exists, and those who remember the Federation tend to remember it as ineffectual at best, duplicitous at worst. The crew of Discovery and the remnants of Starfleet are tasked with quite literally reconstructing the Federation, both as political entity and as an ideal to believe in and strive for, in-universe and, by extension, out of it.

Dilithium is essential for regulating the matter-antimatter reactions that make warp-speed travel possible, so, as a result, every vessel in the galaxy with an active dilithium-powered warp core will explode, and the loss of viable warp travel will reduce the Milky Way to a Points Of Light Setting, all but destroying the Federation.

In "Brother,â€� Captain Pike notes that Spock always advocated that logic was the beginning of the answer, not the end — the same lesson that Spock would try to explain to Valeris early on in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Multiple characters will have Conflicting Loyalties between soldier and diplomat, or soldier and explorer, like Kirk and the others did in the original series. More plainly, Mudd claims in â€œChoose Your Painâ€� that they havenâ€™t seen the last of him, turning up â€œagainâ€� in Star Trek: The Original Series.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_e43c66bd	type	Art Evolution
Star Trek: Discovery / int_e43c66bd	comment	Art Evolution: The Discovery crew wear a brand-new uniform quite different from what previous media had established for this time period. These are described in-show as "new uniforms," which not all starships have yet adopted. (In the second season, the crew of the Enterprise wear uniforms based on the classic look, combining the bold primary colors with Discovery's cowl collar and slightly-offset vertical zipper.) Additionally, the Discovery badges include rank pips in the 24th-century TNG style, bringing in a dash of Anachronism Stew. The Klingons have a more drastic, inhuman look compared to their original designs which, given the time period the series takes place, are supposed to be their contemporaries. And when the USS Enterprise shows up in the very final scene, it looks like the classic Constitution-class, but significantly enlarged, with a few design echoes of the movie refit; most obviously, the tapered and backswept nacelle pylons. Previous shows showed all ships lit fairly evenly. Beyond any scale differences or design changes, the key difference in how Discovery ships look is how their running lights illuminate the hull in a dominant way, which makes them much darker and with sharper lighting note The Voyager episode "Night" is something of a precursor to this look, as the ship passed through a region of space that was fundamentally empty and the native environment even blocked starlight, making the ship almost impossible to see against the blackness of space. This is somewhat Truth in Television, depending on whether the ships are actually in a solar system or not - if you're in interstellar space, a couple of lightyears from the nearest star, then it's going to be as dark as a clear moonless night on Earth.

In Discovery, Terrans are depicted as Absolute Xenophobes fundamentally devoted to the enslavement or extermination of all aliens in the name of their Emperor. A change in policy which is understandable, given that the Terran Empire was essentially decapitated by the destruction of the ISS Charon. The less genocidal Empire encountered in the future is under new management, and the Emperor drives its policies.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_e62dfb96	comment	No Endor Holocaust: In "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad.", Tyler claims that in seven months of total war with the Klingon Empire, Starfleet has lost 10,000 people. For comparison, that's less than the number of people killed a century later at the Battle of Wolf 359. Hell, it's less than a single day in numerous battles of The American Civil War. The solution for the problems on Kaminar is to give everyone on the planet vahar'ai all at once. In Saru's case, it took over a day for his condition to progress from flu-like symptoms to being unable to stand unaided, but evidently everyone on the planet was fine once it was over. And it's assumed that neither the Ba'ul (who still possess superior technology, even if the pylons were deactivated) will try a more gradual mass-slaughter, nor will the Kelpians destroy them in revenge for generations of oppression.

Star Trek: Discovery / int_ec9a5f50	comment	Deconstructed Character Archetype: Gabriel Lorca is a deconstruction of the post-9/11 Jack Bauer/ Cowboy Cop archetype. When he is first introduced, he is very much framed as a hard-nosed badass who's willing to do whatever's necessary to save lives and protect the Federation from its enemies. It's only as the series develops that it becomes clear that, in fact, he's actually just a power-hungry fascist who cynically appeals to his officers' sense of duty and idealism in order to pursue his own ends. Sarek is a deconstruction of The Stoic. While 99% of Vulcans fit this trope to some degree, there have been plenty of past examples (such as T'Pol and her family in Star Trek: Enterprise) demonstrating that Vulcans are entirely capable of being loving and expressive towards each other in their own way. Sarek, however, had difficulty displaying that kind of healthy affection towards his children, and there are signs that Spock and Michael learned from his example. The debacle with the Vulcan Science Academy, which was caused primarily by Sarek making decisions for them and refusing to tell them, becomes the flashpoint of familial conflict for years to come.
