Yes, the Klingon augment thing was deeply stupid, both in-universe and out, and I think it's to SNW's strength that we're all just going to pretend it didn't happen.
And of course she has perfect taste and loves DS9. Iconic.
Every day this world gets dumber and dumber and yet I'm still surprised by how completely incompetent and unstable the main ENT crew (sans T'Pol and Phlox) are. It is something that even by 2025 standards - which are just about the lowest standards for stupidity possible - these people probably could probably not get through a week working at Walmart without getting fired for like fighting a stranger or sexually harassing their coworker.

Life finds new ways to disappoint you every day
Yeah, all of the recasts have been spectacular with this one exception; I'm fully stumped by Paul Wesley and his take on the character. I don't need anyone aping Shatner and I love the idea of highlighting the more bookish actual Kirk as opposed to the pop culture image of him, but Ozempic Kirk spends 90% of his time looking bored out of his mind and 10% of his time doing a terrible Han Solo impression that just comes off as creepy. I cannot understand spending so much time on him when literally everyone else on screen sparkles and he has the charisma of wet felt.
Major spoilers in the summaries attached to the titles here. I couldn't help myself from reading them - holy shit. I was excited for this before, but wow.
But what about all the interesting ideas they've pitched for Legacy? Like...the ideas that were come up with. That involved things. You know the ones.
Frankly, the scene that introduced Stamets and Culber together I think was intended to surprise the audience in a different way –– Stamets is a huge jerk the previous few episodes and set up as a semi-antagonist, and that bit shows him in a very different light, as the audience/Burnham starts to thaw on the Discovery crew.
The information broker has had cosmetic surgery to resemble the puppet Balok used to appear intimidating in “The Corbomite Maneuver”
I don't think it specifies in the episode that the information broker had cosmetic surgery, does it? I wondered if this episode was trying to semi-canonize the Dassik. I don't really care either way because that bit was hilarious.
Weird way to spell Link Hogthrob.

Goronwy! Moffat endorsed the fan theory that he's a future Doctor in retirement like the Curator. Honestly, this is why I happen to actually like the bigeneration - the idea that the Doctor would ever just retire and leave the universe to sort itself out while he collects art and beekeeps used to bother me, but if he himself is still out there running around, then it becomes delightful and sweet.
