He's playing Kor, with grease paint and bushy eyebrows.
If that ever happened, the episode would be fun but TrekBBS would be even funner. I'd send my sympathies to the Disco Mods.
So I'm reading book 1 of the Genesis Wave, a TNG miniseries. In it, Maltz, the Klingon that Kirk and company captured at the end of TSFS is an old man...
Using a pair of small scissors and the mirror, he clipped off most of his distinctive beard and mustache. A lot of it was singed, anyway, and it wasn't hair that made a Klingon.
That got a sensible chuckle from me in regards to DSC, haha. However, I feel like Kahless the Unforgettable would disagree. But then again, the hair made the batleth...does the batleth make the Klingon? And if the Klingon made the hair that made the batleth, would then the Klingon make the Klingon? I guess in that case, it fits.

I'll be posting the winners of the Awards tonight or Friday. Otherwise, it won't be until Monday.
Watched "The Wolf Inside", with my eleven year old son. He seems to be enjoying the show more this time around. Me? I'm running out of steam, much like the last go around. And I'm not so sure why the Spore Drive is so crucial to the Starfleet war effort? The ships seem plenty fast without it. Seemingly covering distances as quickly as in the Abramsverse.
I do wonder how the Discovery got close enough to beam up TyVoq without being noticed by the Shenzhou?

I was just curious about something. When the plot for Discovery was still under wraps, there was talk and speculation that Discovery would be based around an incident that was mentioned in the original series. There was a lot of speculation that it would be based on Garth of Izer (If I recall). I know the show had to course correct, but did we ever find out what that event was, and what episode of the original it was mentioned in?
As far as I know, no one Official has ever specifically stated what it was.
I guess the general consensus is that it was apparently one of the TOS episodes that mentioned something about the past history of the "Federation & Klingons" being at each others throats for a long period of time.
Though at the moment I can't remember which episode it was.
Just finished "Vaulting Ambition". Pretty "meh" outside the Stamets/Spore stuff. I get it that the Mirror universe is "evvvvuuuulllllllll!"
Nice bit of set dressing: when Stamets and his Mirror counterpart rush into the Spore Engineering inside his mind, the little plaque next to the door reads "USS Stamets" instead of "USS Discovery".

I like the ISS Charon. It's the only Terran/Federation design that can out-weird Discovery.
What was said and how did you respond?
I've seen a lot of this, except online. I'm really disappointed. But then I remember the times we live in. So I'm disappointed but not surprised. A lot of people, over at least the passed six-plus years (from Trayvon Martin on) are showing their true colors. But not just in regards to racism, sexism too.
If Michael Burnham did all the same things Kirk did in Star Trek (2009), they'd be frothing at the mouth, screaming "Mary Sue! Mary Sue!" But if Kirk does it? Saves Earth, goes from Cadet to Captain, and proves everyone wrong (except Pike who was the only one who believed in him)? They don't even think twice about it.
Bear in mind I like the 2009 film and Beyond. So I have no issue with NuKirk. But the biases are so clear when people have no problem with NuKirk but have such a massive problem with Burnham, who made some pretty major mistakes in the pilot and, by the end of the season, may have had her rank restored but still not her original position, which wasn't even Captain.
Except for Cadet to Captain. There was a lot of frothing about that.
One of these beer belly tattoed guys that I don't even know the name off, but I recognise and he is like the older type you see behind a merchandise stand at MCM Comic Con if that makes sense. We were talking about Netflix shows and bunch of us already watch Discovery, but this guy just flat out said Discovery was bollocks because it doesn't look like the other shows and has turned Star Trek into a show for n-words and gayboys. I just did a Jim face and conversation moved onto Green Arrow.
