   "Reluctant to follow orders" is one thing.  "Captain, you have a   
   multi-legged creature crawling on your shoulder. " (goes   
   onto bridge) "The Captain's orders are (orders exactly opposite   
   of what the captain actually ordered)" goes a bit beyond that.   
      
   With the caveat that that first episode that did not require   
   subscribing to CBS I'm Not Accessing It is the only episode   
   I've seen.  I think I heard from somewhere that Burnham spent   
   some time in a Federation stockade, but nothing about who   
   sprung her, much less how flat-out mutiny got "overlooked"   
   and she's back on the bridge of a Federation starship.
