Well, I was able to watch 3 more episodes of Season 3 today.
The 5th episode where the Enterprise comes home proved interesting as they were rightfully by 30th century standards treated with suspicion and had to prove themselves. What didn't make sense was the idea that they'd be split up and put on different ships. As Captain Saru would go on to point out, no one but the crew of Discovery is better suited to crew the ship. Hated seeing them write out the security officer though.
Episode 6 with Burnham again disobeying orders had a great line with Burnham insulting Georgiou by saying the former Terran emperor has an emotional spectrum of "cranky to homicidal", that gave me a good chuckle.
And episode 7 where we find out that not only has Vulcan left the Federation but they've changed their name to Ni'var. That was a crazy thing to discover. Saru asking my girl Tilley to be his acting 1st officer was nice, but I like how she called him on his phrasing when she asked if she was being chosen because she's "compliant". The return of Burnham's mother was interesting to say the least. And I liked the way the crew told Tilley she had their backing.
Other stuff: Interesting that the Admiral and the medical staff seem to realize that something is off with Detmer but there was no follow up by Saru on this front. And what is going on with Georgiou and her ill-timed freeze ups?
