And why ,oh why are not any ships from Disco to Voyager using a spore drive?? No one has ever said, "boy, that spore drive would come in handy now", "too bad it blew up a galaxy a long time ago". I read somewhere that Pike, being a fleet Admiral chose to downgrade all communications (which is why Kirk doesnt speak with holograms). Seems the security was lacking so fleet Admiral Pike made this and other changes. I dont think he had the power to outlaw the spore drive. That would be the equivalent of outlawing warp drive. As I have said before, Discovery and everything about it will be erased from existence. So just enjoy!!

As a fountain of wisdom for all things Trek...I really dont know how to feel about the Spock - Burnham squabbling when I have no reference of what to expect. Spock never said "my sister is a handful" to Kirk on some long voyage. Even when Amanda and Spock's dad came to Enterprise no one mentioned a sister/daughter. We should expect a cataclysm on seas5 ep22 that wipes the Discovery and all her crew from existence. It will be a noble sacrifice performed by Pike to save "all sentient life"; leaving him beeping in a chair. Spock was back on Enterprise, so he lost his memories of her.
