Confession: I keep wondering about Nihlus. Something about the way he was written makes me think he was intended to be a squadmate in the original draft, or at least, to be a supporting character in the game. What is Nihlus like? How would he have differed from Garrus? I wish I could know. He was so interesting and very, very hot.

So in Star Trek: Discovery, the episode “If Memory Serves” implies that what damaged Michael and Spock’s sibling relationship is her insulting him to try to get him to stay away from her (which she believed was for his own good because of the logic extremists) when they were kids.

And then it just kind of implies that they quite possibly never got along again after that until the events of season 2 like 20 years after that??

I don’t think that’s really what happened. The Talosians wanted the memory of what started their conflict, the very first instance of it (aside from Spock not being welcoming to her when she was first introduced to him) rather than any one singular thing that completely drove a long-lasting rift between them.

I mean, while they were still children/teenagers and living in their parents’ home, Sarek and Amanda would encourage them to get along with one another, whether or not they knew what Michael said to Spock.

Here’s what I think got them to the point that by the beginning of season 2 they hadn’t spoken in years, the same reason Spock also hadn’t spoken to Sarek in that long: Spock choosing to join Starfleet over attending the Vulcan Science Academy. The fact that Michael attended instead of him just reminded him that he didn’t live up to his father’s expectations of him. Sarek was more understanding of Michael’s humanity than of his. He never expected Michael to be completely Vulcan since she was fully human, but he only ever wanted Spock to be Vulcan even though he was half human.

Perhaps Michael blamed herself because there was some kind of confrontation between the two of them about the matter. Maybe she insisted that Sarek knew what was best for both of them and that going against his wishes was disrespectful to everything he had done for them, and Spock just wouldn’t hear it. He joined Starfleet in part to escape the feeling that he didn’t belong, and maybe she could sense that about him and told him that he was just running away from his problems rather than facing them.

What I’m trying to say is, based on the way the 2 talk about each other and the bond between them, I don’t think the only time they ever got along was when they were kids prior to her insulting him and then when they found each other during season 2 before Michael went to the future. We really don’t have the full story.
