Exclusive Clip

Yeah. That TWOK episode was hot garbage.
Why would a Jem Hadar be hefty? Also there are no Jem Hadar ladies. But it was a decent clip until Giamatti, and I love him as an actor, but this was hammy.
When did TWOK have Khan exploit a bunch of easily seen technological vulnerabilities to put an entire generation of Starfleet Academy students at risk?
When he stole the shield codes and attacked a ship full of cadets.
Do the writers of this show not know that injuries ARE casualties? 
Casualties in most media is shorthand for deaths.Do the writers of this show not know that injuries ARE casualties?
So no, thanks for proving my point for me.
He attacks, knows weaknesses to exploit and kills cadets.
Picardo and others have said he is.
It's been 800 years people change, including sentient holograms.. and how did he not act like the EMH?
Meh. It's no worse than the incorrect usage of the word "quadrant" throughout Star Trek up until the release of Star Trek 6.Do the writers of this show not know that injuries ARE casualties?
I'm incredibly neutral on this clip.
It's a good choice for a first clip - very action heavy, shows TONS of expensive vfx (srsly - don't expect that level for the rest of the show) - and tries very hard to look, sound & feel like "old" Star Trek.
At this point I'm just so, so burned out on season-long badguy antagonists. Like Paul Giamatti feels slightly more interesting than Osyra or Moll & L'Ak, but slightly less interesting than the changeling lady or T'Kuvma.
But in general I'm just so burned out with the "TWOK" template stretched out over ten episodes...
From the vibes it just feels like a continuation of DIS, but with different characters. If you liked that you will like this. But I never really got warm with DIS. I'll give this one a try. But don't expect much tbh.

I probably won't like it but will watch it anyway.

It looks fine for what it is, but I'll get to the series itself when I get to it.
I’mma stop you right there. This, in my view, is fatphobia. I realize you’re talking about fictional characters here, but still, in my view the logic of the comment maps directly onto real-world body-shaming norms (e.g., “people with larger bodies shouldn’t be allowed in X profession”). Consider that Starfleet is not the US military, but a make-believe organization in a make-believe sci-fi universe a thousand years into the future. The people you are seeing are actors performing characters of various (alien) backgrounds whose capabilities you can’t deduce from their looks. Plus, even in our real-world universe bodies of both male and female athletes come in various different shapes and sizes, often not conforming to traditionally idealized body shapes.
So what your comments basically boil down to is complaining about the actors’ body shapes. And we won’t have that here. Same goes for your implication that “overweight” or “obese” people were cast to satisfy some “woke agenda” or some other imagined “theory”. Keep that crap to the dark corners of YouTube comments or whatever, but I don’t want to see it again here. Consider this a friendly warning.
Of course overweight people have a place in society, but Starfleet by its very nature is exclusive in that not everyone can make it. That's why academies exist in the first place, to find exceptional people and weed out the ones that can't make their high standards. According to the TNG episode "Coming of Age", their standards are so high that there is an entrance exam and only one person from the entire class will win and be allowed to enter the Academy. So its not unfair to expect that such a place would have physical fitness standards as well. Especially when you consider that the job entails dealing with potential hostile environments and escaping hostile species.

What are these physical standards? How do you adapt them to various species? Lower gravity worlds? Atmospheric conditions?
Are physical standards for entry the same for established officers? Are there variations for different departments?
Good questions that could be answered by the show.
