Listen I know this totally subjective, seriously no shade on the people who feel this way. This isn’t even a complaint I’ve seen a whole lot

But I am? A little confused??? About the occasional complaint that SNW focuses too much on Spock?

He gets like, two character-centric plot in the whole season (Spock Amok, The Serene Squall). For the rest of it he’s just reacting to what’s happening with everyone else? Or y’know, generally mattering to the arcs of people who care about him. More specifically the Chrises, Pike and Chapel.

So I decided to like, mull things over about who got focus where and how, because Now I Am Super Curious and wanna see exactly what we got going on character/time allocation wise:

Captain Pike got major screentime in pretty much every episode cuz, uh, he’s the Captain. Essentially the main character of any given Star Trek show. Special emphasis on the season’s book ends and the halfway point, which tracks when you wanna pace out the character arc of somebody whose important in every episode.

Hemmer got three major focuses in Memento Mori, Elysian Kingdom, & All Those Who Wander (which makes sense, considering).

La’an got two major focuses in Memento Mori and All Those Who Wander.

Uhura got two major focuses in Children of The Comet & Memento Mori.

M’Benga got two major focuses in Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach & The Elysian Kingdom.

Chapel got major focus in Spock Amok and Serene Squall. Some plot stuff independent from Spock would be nice, but she’s operating in a pair like La’an & Una and Hemmer & Uhura were so like… ehhhh.

Una got major focus in The Ghosts of Illyria (and a tandem B-Plot with La’an in Spock Amok) and is the heart of the finale’s cliffhanger which probably means she’s gonna matter A Lot next season so that’s good! Hopefully we’ll get the Spock & Una & Pike trio that was advertised in the promotional material.

Ortegas didn’t get major focus at all really, she has major speaking roles in three episodes (Spock Amok, Elysian Kingdom & A Quality of Mercy) she was Sir Adya in EK and a clunky stand in for Stiles. But hey! Navia implied on Twitter that we would be seeing more of her character in the near future.

So like, all things considered, Spock got like, an average amount of screentime, Pike followed by Hemmer getting the biggest focus, everyone else in the middle-ish, while Una and Ortegas (and Chapel, kinda) got the short end of the stick with the promise of more focus next season.

If you don’t LIKE what they’re doing with Spock’s screen time that’s fine, but I also don’t feel like he’s getting overly favored personally. It probably feels like A Big Deal because It’s Spock. But honestly, he gets way more focus in Discovery S2 than he did in SNW and he’s not even physically there for half of that lmao!

Idk, just got me thinking about how they handled character screen time overall and wanted to write down my observations that’s all.

i just think erica ortegas should get a gf in snw - she has that “no one will ever love me” vibe and it’s making me mad and sad

also pilot gf/engineer gf best combo

an even more chaotic tendi/rutherford in that they love their jobs and make each other so much worse

Anyone else sort of in love with Lieutenant Ortegas? I know it's only been two episodes but oh my god. She named a maneuver after herself. Love her.

Also: I have no idea who Ortegas is but I love them (her? Idk they’ve got she/they energy)

Erica probably has the healthiest coping of the 3 though. Chapel just keeps it all inside and M’Benga does a little recreational murder. Gotta vent that stuff out babes.

Remember that part in "Children of the Comet" when they were talking about recalibrating or rebuilding some torpedos and La'an was like "that's easy, should be done in an hour" and Hemmer very grumpily replies " A rosy assessment, considering I'll be the one doing the retrofitting." ?

I felt that on a whole other level

Based on this SNW theory/speculation post

What if the reason Ortegas is already prickly and distrustful of Spock in the Balance of Timeline is because he hurts the crew (or even her specifically) whilst being manipulated/controlled by Sybok? 👀

If "Subspace Rhapsody" took place in S1 I have some headcanons

A- I feel like it would have been funny to do just covers of songs instead of just making up new ones- cuz then the crew would be scrambling to decipher wtf Una and Chris meant by singing a duet to 'Whenever Wherever' by Shakira (Like are they friends? Should we call Batel??)

I feel like La'an would have sung in something other than English, because god damn it if she's going to sing her feelings- she's going to at least sing in a language no one understands! (Aka Chinese opera or Bollywood lol )

M'Bena and Pike should have had a buddy duet to something stupid

Hemmer would have had a cute duet with Uhura to something sweet, maybe a sad/dramatic solo alone

Chapel would be singing 'What the hell' by Avril Lavigne

Erica needs to do 'my way' by Queen Key, she/they don't have a choice

Spock should have 2 songs or more, each in a different language (one of which is Vulcan) and one of them has to be some horrific pop song that he will deny that he has ever listened to

every time the song comes on, the crew has no idea who's singing and why, so they just look around frantically until someone breaks out singing-

Oh, and they should have control of their facial expressions. If Una's going to put on a show, she's going to be rolling her eyes and smirking the whole time.
