future “big bad” situation with Sybok

For real though, wtf happened with that mic drop reveal. Not that I'm complaining; I don't feel particularly excited to learn about another previously-unheard-of Spock sibling.

Then again, the amount of times Sarek's name was dropped in this episode is probably a clear breadcrumb that this storyline is coming sooner than later.

To be fair, Sybok was the original spontaneous Spock sibling, even though Star Trek V was chronologically later.

No its great. I love them bringing Sybok back so much. Its so stupid. Its the goofiest decision they could have possibly made and it embodies something I love about Star Trek, which is its refusal to throw away even the bad stuff. Every reminder that Star Trek V is canon keeps the franchise from getting too arrogant about itself.

I would guess that if we see Sarek in this series, it's going to be either purely through another character's view, or just mentions. It's many years off still before Sarek gets over Spock's decision to join Starfleet, and starts talking to him again.
