Should Discovery bring Kweijan back?

No, they shouldn't bring Kwejian back. That would totally destroy the emotional impact it had. And it would be the ultimate deus ex machina.
Planets get destroyed. It happens. And when it does, they don't come back. Pure and simple.

Plenty of planets gone boom in ST.
So.. No
Unless they have a genisys device..

No. Bringing it back just negates any drama they created with its destruction. That's like Krypton suddenly not being destroyed. It just undercuts the story.
I don't think they'll bring back the planets but I still suspect everyone on them is living on Nexus-style, hence Book's visions of his nephew and father.
I hope they don't bring this Kweijan back, but I'm totally okay with alternate universe Kweijans.
No the shouldn't because I hate that stupid oompa lumpa tree or whatever they called it
Bringing back Kweijan would be the dumbest fucking idea. It would rob Book of his emotional arc and destroy what Season 4 is really about: not everything is going to be a win and even victories come at a price.
Similar to TSFS, when the price for getting Spock back was the death of Kirk's son. I'd say losing the Enterprise too, but that was replaced in the very next film, whereas David's death stuck and became a major plot point in Kirk's character arc during TUC.
What happened to Kweijan is part of Book's arc, how it changes him, and how it drives Book and Burnham in different directions.

The planet exploded into a thousand pieces, it didn't get absorbed intact by the DMA. What, are they going to piece it back together with some space tape and everything will be fine again?
It's gone, let it go.
It may still exist in an alternative universe though. W/Could he try to cross over to one?

I wouldn't place bets against it. If there's one thing I've learned from four seasons of Discovery, it's that if the writers feel that bringing the planet back is going to be the most dramatic and emotional twist, that planet's coming back.
Death is accepted as a part of life.

I'd love to see Kweijan again... in flashbacks or in Picard.
