Looks like the Klingons have their TNG look, and with that, they have erased Discovery. While I know I'm in the minority here but I don't hate Discovery, I just hated their Klingons and their over-the-top stories didn't help out much either. It does create another problem though, they don't line up with the TOS look.

At least for now they can just go back to Worf's original explanation of their differences from TOS to TNG:

"We do not discuss it with outsiders."

From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klingon#Change_in_appearance_after_TOS):

"A canonical explanation for the change was given in a two-part storyline on Star Trek: Enterprise, in the episodes "Affliction" and "Divergence" that aired in February 2005. Attempting to replicate experiments by humans to create augmented soldiers, Klingon scientists used genetic material from human test subjects on their own people, which resulted in a viral pandemic which caused Klingons to develop human-like physical characteristics. Dr. Phlox of the Enterprise formulated a cure for the virus, but the physical alterations remained in the populace and were inherited by offspring. Phlox indicated that "some day" the physical alterations could be reversed.[29][30] The head scientist finally mentioned he would go into cranial reconstructive surgery, another nod to "restoration" of the ridges for some Klingons."

The comic series that canonically took place between last season and the upcoming one recently ended. While some things were crazy, the overarching premise at the end is actually something I wouldn't mind seeing played out in season 2. Read on if you want to know and give your thoughts...

Comic series ending

Pike and Spock (who himself was kidnapped and augmented by an Illyrian governor), found out that the Illyrians weren't always augmenters (the kidnappers didn't know this either). The Vulcans actually experimented on them first on their original home world (which is now inhabitable), which caused them to continue it for survival. As time went on, that knowledge disappeared. So the only history known to everyone, including the Federation, is that they've always augmented their bodies on their own. Pike, Spock, and the Illyrians agreed to not reveal this to the Federation to keep the peace and preserve Illyrian history. Damn Vulcans.

It would be more obvious if Boimler's hair color was correct

Ok. I'm ready for season two...



BTW, Lower Decks have also crossed over into the comics as Lt. Shaxs is currently on temporary assignment to the USS Theseus under the command of The Sisko (actually under command of Data right now since the Sisko is on trial on Cardassia).

Simka?! Are you kidding me?! Everything about SNW is great, especially the movie quality opening credits. One episode a week is going to kill me.

Not gonna lie, I had fears that they were about to go the Discovery route with the plot of this episode by making it an entire season event and abandon why this series works better.

I started out the evening with a re-watch of the season one finale as a lead-in to the season two premiere. Very much enjoyed this first episode. This show gives me different feelings (all good ones) than Picard season three did, though. I'm glad to have some new episodes to look forward to each week now.

- I still mourn the loss of Hemmer, but Pelia might be a rather entertaining replacement. Carol Kane just killed it in this episode.
- Jess Bush makes my eyes feel good. She is just gorgeous.
- This version of Spock is a somewhat unusual Vulcan, especially so in this episode. Not sure how I feel about that right now, though.

- I'm digging what they are doing with Spock. TOS Spock had many "human" moments where he's struggling with his identity as well, so it fits with what they've been doing. His strict discipline didn't really set in until the movies.

- For me, it's Christina Chong!
