I think boreth would have had massive strategic importance during the temporal war. I wouldn't be surprised if the planet was completely pillaged by the klingons or the Federation for its time crystals and now is just a barren husk
There goes my theory of Bad Ass Klingon Time Lords.

Unless the locals use temporal tricks to protect the crystals from intruders which makes sense, after all Klingons are neither the naive and/or trusting type.
 
Just on the people ribbing about the toast at the end of the episode... Copypasting what I wrote on another forum.

What we see in the show is selected parts of everyone's "lives" on the ship, we don't see every single minute of their day or every single interaction they have with each other so we don't get a full idea of how everyone gets along, I take the show, or any show for that matter as showing us a little window into their world and we get to see only selected parts of that to tell a story.

I didn't mind the two parter or the toast because to me what we see are a window of snippets in their lives that make a story we don't see every interaction of everyone, nor do we need to.

I can understand this. But part of the writer's job in long-form serial dramas is to build long-form character arcs. The writers could have chosen to drop little hints throughout Season 2 and the first 8 episodes of Season 3 that Georgiou was softening and building functional relationships with the crew. They chose not to, instead keeping her static at cutting wisecracks and kicking people in the face.

Basically, since we only have a tiny window into the characters lives, the writers need to make every moment count - particularly those moments which aren't focused on plot. I do feel they dropped the ball to some extent because Georgiou felt like a static character up until this two-parter.
 
Poor Gene is probably still fuming about making the heaviest of decisions to leave everything and everyone behind, only to be handed a mop and told to clean up the mess Georgiou made in Engineering. He would've had some choice words for her at the memorial, but Tilly quietly reassigned him to go scrub the GNDN pipes in the turbolift funhouse that exact same time.

I thought they had robots to do that kind of menial stuff.
 
I think Boimler must've had a great-great-grandfather who disappeared in 2258 along with the Discovery. It's the great-great-grandfather no one ever talks about but he doesn't know why.

Boimler: "He disappeared right before Those Old Scientists showed up! No one knows why! I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!!!"

Mariner: "I thought I told you that you need to get help. So go get it!"

Boimler: "What help?!"

Mariner: "You're obsessing over this like it's life or death. Like it's some Holy Scripture or Canon."

Boimler: "BUT IT IS!!!!!!"

Almost sounds like a scene from one episode.
