I wrote this as I was watching:

Since when have Batel and Pike have a history? Was she in season 1?
I wish they had a tone warning at the beginning of the episode, also I thought the tones went for a little too long each time.
Lol this is the anti-Spock world. "Your emotions are your truth." Maybe Spock should have been on the planet surface as well.
Did Spock forget how to read?
Did the Enterprise not feel the effects in the previous mission? Did they forget to record it or make personal logs?

Did Spock forget how to read?

Maybe it's a nod to Discovery establishing he had a learning disability similar to dyslexia.
