Tilly the co-op student getting the XO promotion is but the latest in a line of headscratchers from the writers. That episode with the Vulcan tribunal had a small contingent of presumably high ranking Starfleet crew. Pretty sure Ensign Ricky doesn't make the cut to attend so it's probably Lt. Commanders and up. As such pretty much anyone Starfleet attending that tribunal probably had the rank and experience to be XO.
All this on the fleet's only spore drive ship, a strategically critical ship. It's like Lower Decks, except they've put the lower decks in charge.
"Sanctuary" also fell flat for me. Again, the resolution of the sea locusts by one line of brilliance from MB seemed paper thin. The Brothers battle wasn't really spelled out either. Fantastic visuals, but as usual a rushed storyline left a lot to be desired.
Mark my words, "The Burn" - a problem that was 100 years old - will be solved in 1, maybe two episodes...
