Everything Andrew Phillips said above (or below idk) me with the following addition:
Gotta explain Cephalopod to the audience cause if a 23rd century Star Fleet officer who is actually still a Klingon... Oh Wait, it does make sense now.
I actually got "sunspots" in my eyes from watching the episode...5 minutes later and I still see these blobs. Thanks JJ for making me blind for no goddamn reason besides ruining everything your paws have every touched.
So that was the trauma? The big deal? Geez, I guess I should have gone insane from my trauma's ages ago... And those aren't even that bad in comparison to other people's.
I did enjoy the fact this Spock -whose still not Spock- pretty much told Bernham she isn't all that... I'm sure it won't last long but I enjoyed the moment.
Couldn't be bothered to recreate the few scenes from the Cage with the old uniforms huh. I guess that was too much to ask, especially since they couldn't be bothered with the basics of Trek and it's history/legacy.
All in all I THINK this was the best episode that has been aired from all the seasons to date, which isn't saying much. It showed a very small glimpse what could have been if more effort, love and a lack of agenda was taken with the critically acclaimed and beloved source material.
