Surprise, Spock has another never mentioned in the original sibling -- Michael and she's completely human but raised on Vulcan by Sarek and Amanda. We find out that the Vulcan Academy was only willing to take one of Sarek's kids and Sarek decided it should be Spock. Michael went off and joined Starfleet. The series starts with her trying to save everyone by committing mutiny and starting a war -- as you do . If she'd just gone to prison, it would have been a short show. Captain Lorca of the Discovery uses the war as a way to get Michael assigned to his ship. Lots of fighting, war with Klingons, and fake science. The Discovery has Ensign Tilly, Michael's roommate, who is adorkable and Dr. Culber and his husband Lt. Stametz. These two are hideously sweet. Stametz has figured out a way to drive the ship using fungi which I can't explain without you looking at me funny. Anyway, first season you get a number of pairings: Michael/Tilly, Culber/Stametz, Michael/Late Captain Georgiou, Michael/Evil Emperor Georgiou.
Second season is the let's find a mission big enough to bring in Spock and Chris Pike. So now the war is over and we're chasing this weird "Red Angel" that is trying to change the present to fix the end of everything and for some reason it all involves the crew of the Discovery and Spock.
This really isn't doing the series justice, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched it...
