    Starfleet guy: State your name and rank.

    Number One: Number One.

    SG: That's neither!!

    NO: So? At least they see my face, loser!!

    SG: Hey, you calling yourself Number One doesn't give you the right to treat me like number two.

    NO: I'll do what I want, dumbass.

    SG: Double dumbass on you!!!

    NO: Whatever, moron!!!

    Plus, in the deleted scene for the finale Leland was disguised as one, and Georgiou called his disguise a Trill.

    Jadzia said that one of her hosts knew McCoy intimately, so why not?

    i'm not sure what that is, maybe just another variant. there's a shot in the trailer where you can see two other personnel wearing it:

    it's the closest to a TOS uniform we've seen so far being that's basically just a shirt/tunic and trousers.

    then again, it might be an undershirt like the one michael wears in "the sounds of thunder":

    Well, they've explained why Enterprise stopped using holographic communication but not why the rest of the federation did the same, especially after a captain said that only his grandma (aside from Pike) kept using two dimension-screens.

    Frankly, for Starfleet purposes, the holocoms are largely inferior to normal screens. I'm sure they'd go in and out of fashion with civilians and would always have their specialist uses, but for general ship to ship communication, being able to see lots of people at once *and* the environment around them is clearly better than being able to see one person in 3D with no environment visible.

    It might be: but then again, one idea I had to make the Disco and Cage uniforms fit together in continuity was that the Cage uniform is like an undershirt, so, y’know, I’ll take it.

    Oh, come on! The Vulcans, the Klingons are all using the holograms... and all of a sudden they will all change their minds about it? How likely is that?

    One Captain even made fun of Pike for not being like everyone else!!!

    Very likely in my experience with how GUIs can change. At least in my industry.

    Well, to quote Saru: "My ganglia remain unconvinced."

    I doubt much could convince ganglia already unconvinced.

    The holograms were silly to begin with, but the "solution" made it worse by pointing out how out-of-place they were. Once they decided to go with holograms, they should've just rode with it.

    Sure, personally I think the holograms look cool, they should stay with it and to hell with "canon"!!

    Holograms are cool. Doesn't mean they needed to continue.

    Either way, I didn't need an explanation for it. Just make a decision and go with it.

    It's not like they were used 100% of the time in Season 1 either, there were quite a few times where they used 2D.

    And they still used 3D a few times in Season 2.

    Which showed that they didn't know how to commit to a decision they made. It doesn't make or break the show, but it does how schizophrenic the behind-the-scenes work was.
