... or maybe, and I know this is probably a stretch for the 23rd Century, She got Transition Contacts.
Cornwell explicitly nagged Lorca about getting surgery for his eye problem, but he was stubborn about it (since he intended to return). Clearly the technology exists to fix the issue and surely we can assume Georgiou would have fixed it at the earliest opportunity, not wanting a weakness which could be exploited.
But...but, we didn't get to see it on screen--or at least hear about it during one of the conference table sessions. Clearly it requires some attention here.
James R. Kirk, Vulcanian, United Earth Ship Enterprise, time barrier, THE WOMEN!, Sulu the mathematician, etc....
It had nothing to do with Lorca's intended return (in which increased light tolerance would be an advantage for him). It had everything to do with the doctor's realizing after checking his eyes that this couldn't be the real Lorca.
So where was the episode showing Georgiou going to the doctor's office for the outpatient surgery, waiting all morning for the nurses to prep her, then the time she spent in recovery, and then the scene where someone else needs to drive her home because she's still loopy from the anesthetic?
I mean, if they wanted 15 episodes, there's one for you right there. No episode = no surgery.
I thought Sulu was a Botanist?
Would have to be a two-parter, cause inevitably the first appointment for outpatient surgery would be bumped due to the Dr. overbooking for that day.So where was the episode showing Georgiou going to the doctor's office for the outpatient surgery, waiting all morning for the nurses to prep her, then the time she spent in recovery, and then the scene where someone else needs to drive her home because she's still loopy from the anesthetic?

He was the science guy in WNMHGB. Then Spock decided he could do two jobs and Sulu was demoted to helmsman.
Or moved over to the command track.
He was forced out, I tells ya!
That's not a fact. It could have been the former. You've gotta assume he's been checked out medically, especially post USS Buran destruction. Remember Cornwell told him he passed all the psych tests with flying colors. There's no indication that he feared being outed as an imposter.
Anyway, my point was that there was dialogue asserting Lorca's condition was curable via surgery, as well as manageable via injected medication. Either option was also available for Georgiou and she's more likely to have opted for the more permanent fix. I didn't need another scene of dialogue to come to this conclusion when it was already presented as fixable to Lorca in S1.
If Starfleet Medical can certify a prisoner of war fit to return to active duty without noticing that he's been massively fucked with to turn him from Klingon into human, their ophthalmologists or whatever could miss a little detail like Lorca being from another universe.
Lorca probably wanted to get home as soon as possible, that’s why he kept pushing the crew. Having eye surgery would have taken up valuable time, plus he was intending to go home and didn’t see a reason to change.
Same here: given the name, I'd always assumed they were energy weapons, and spent a lot of time as a kid wondering how they were different from phasers. I was disappointed some when TWOK showed them as physical objects.
I can't decide which is worse? That they thought folks would by that plot point, or that some folks actually did.
I guess McCoy and his salt shakers were on Capella or something.I can't decide which is worse? That they thought folks would by that plot point, or that some folks actually did.
