Well, I’m going to let you, the audience, do the work on that yourself, because I’m tired of getting in circular debates with you.
The big fans were Moore, Wolf, Echevaria, Fuller, and Behr. I don't think that was a problem.
They were being managed by head writers who manifestly weren’t big Trekkies.
I think the genesis of that was Christopher Plummer's request to Nick Meyer to not "bury me under a ton of makeup so I can't act."
Lizards? Is that some crazy Beta Canon thing? They've been bone since Fred Phillips slapped some vertebrae on a skull and called it good.
Behr was the head writer, supervising producer, and finally, the executive producer/showrunner.
Okay, that's fine.
Count me as one.
The planet wasn't particularly cold. Sulu just has really bad dandruff.
The explanation for the Klingons look on Discovery is provided in their final appearance on Enterprise when Dr Aantac predicted that reconstructive surgery was going to become a big thing in the Empire. What the good Doctor couldn't have foreseen was the Klingon people embracing it as a form of body art which resulted in some of the outrageous designs we saw in Discovery. Like most fads, it faded away into obscurity and disappeared all together when a new mutation of the augment virus affected the Klingon Empire during Kirk's 5 year mission.
Chancellor Gorkon, the Klingon ambassador, Brigadier Kerla, and Colonel Worf all have pretty prominent ridges. (And Colonel Worf's are similar in shape to Lt. Worf's late-TNG look.)
Big fans, sure. But I'd still argue that they weren't the foaming at the mouth type. Several of those mentioned were known for going, or at least wanting to against the grain of "Traditional Trek."
Are you seriously referencing Andor?
They didn't tune-out because it was 'boring'.
Which traditional: TOS or TNG? I would argue the latter, because while they wanted to build upon and expand the former, they shook their fists at the latter.
