Ah, I see! They pose as humans because they're embarrased about their lobe size.

I figured they were more diverse before they started conquering other species. Military service seems to be pretty strongly associated with the nobility. My guess is that when they got some other worlds and species under their control Klingons as a whole became quasi-nobility and other species started filling menial jobs. This probably came to a head around the time of ENT. Some jobs, like lawyers and scientists, are probably restricted to Klingons for security reasons, but not as well respected since they're not traditional professions for nobles.
Really depends on the site, the time of year, and the specific topic. The Trek subreddit, for instance, tended to be pro-DSC when a season was airing and anti-DSC between seasons. Even here, that recent thread on the DSC Klingon redesign was very in favor of DSC.
I bailed on DSC back when season 2 was airing. Specifically, Project Daedalus was my last episode. Later, I tried watching it again and trying to enjoy it more on its own merits, ignoring the Trek branding and whatnot. I wanted to bail again at the exact same point. I don't know if it's a too many cooks situation with the constant showrunner turnover or if the writers' room just has an obsession with melodrama, but at no point did it feel, to me, like there was a good show hiding in there.
Seems more like a midpoint between TNG and DSC designs to me. He has that nondescript head ridge from DSC's Klingons, for instance.
I am totally convinced that the cast can do a musical episode. The script is going to be the difficult part, but if it's fun enough then I don't care.
I do think Into Darkness was bad, and I could take or leave '09 (so much in those two just doesn't make sense) but I love Beyond.
I actually love Beyond. It's one of my favorite Trek movies.
Probably the whole 'linked ships taken over by the badguys' thing. It happened in Lower Decks, too.
I interpreted that a bit differently, but I definitely see what you mean. I got, "The biobed/M'Benga needs some extra maintenance, but that's fine since it/he can always be fixed up." The overall darkness of the episode and the ambiguity of the ending makes that fuzzy, though.
I hope that this is the middle part of a three episode arc, like with Una's modifications and trial. If there's a part 3 I think it will end more positively, but we'll have to wait and see.
It would be inconcievable!
