very grubby, snatched from a millisecond of video provided by SMG, and yet look at them. a family equal parts dysfunctional and sassy.

Kovich: "Agent Daniels. USS Enterprise."
Burnham: "..."
Kovich: "You know...Daniels? Point man in the Temporal Cold War? Key role in ending the damn thing?"
Burnham: "...Oh. Okay."
Kovich: "...I helped to stop Vosk of the Na'Khul! Whole thing with Nazi aliens!"
Burnham: "And...you were on the Enterprise?"
Kovich: "Yes! Among a great many other places!"
Burnham: "Did you know my brother?"
Kovich: "What? No, not that Enterprise!"
Burnham: "Oh, then, with that Picard guy--"
Kovich: "No! Archer! Archer's Enterprise! I knew Jonathan Archer!"
Burnham: "Ohhh! And you were...an agent?"
Kovich: "None of you kids read your history these days..."
Burnham: "Well I skipped over 900 years--"
Kovich: "THIS WAS BEFORE YOU LEFT."
Burnham: "I think it probably would have been classified--"
Kovich: "Whatever. You know what, just don't tell anyone, okay?"
Burnham: "Yes sir; I swear I will never tell anyone that you're Agent Daniel."
Kovich "DANIELS!!"

True Love prevailed
I can watch a series of just these 2. A show about a Black couple, in the far future, in space , in love, going on adventures and getting into all sorts of hijinks situations. Sonequa Martin-Green and David Ajala really did something special here.
Their chemistry, their banter, the friendship, their romance, their passion for each other and the world around them, the way they make each other better, the ease in which they flow all make this relationship phenomenal. I love how they can just be themselves with each other. They love each other because of who they are, not because of titles and duty to Starfleet. A Starfleet captain is not only a captain. They're a person too, and Book loves the person that is Michael Burnham. And Michael loves Book for who he is. Neither are perfect people, but who is? They love each past their mistakes. Michael and Book feel like a real couple.
They have the love that I want. Seeing them together gives me hope.
I wish I were a stronger writer because I would have already written so many stories about them on AO3. There's so much to work with because they're that compelling.
Michael and Book are one of the best written couples in modern media, not just Star Trek. The fact that they are a Black couple makes them that much more special because there is an underserved representation they provide, especially in science fiction.
I didn't mean for this post to get this long, but as I started writing, there were things I wanted to express.
