I think the Yridians were suppose to be considered extinct by the Federation for a time until the 24th century when Captain Ransom (before he was lost in the Delta Quadrant) found a group that had survived whatever extinction event happened between the 21st century and the 24th century.
Nope.
Even older, in fact. According to IMDB, Jayne Brook (Adm. Cornwell) was born in 1960, whereas Jason Isaacs (Lorca) was born in 1963.
Not sure why it's particularly noteworthy, though. Granted Hollywood (in general) has a tendency to pair up older men with younger women... but I've never noticed Trek being especially vulnerable to that trope. And in story terms here, the characters being peers just makes sense — in fact, a lot about Lorca's current position is more plausible if he has an old flame who's now an admiral.
Hopefully they resist the urge. The late great Len Wein once said about writing comics, "The first story you would do as a fan should be the last story you'd do as a pro". It applies to Star Trek as well.

^ Fans don't get to create Canon willy-nilly, even if they manage to get to write for the series.
While true, I note the Klingon/Federation War was a big well established piece of fanon which is now suddenly canon.
Nah everyone knows Berman and Braga weren't fans.
That's because Stamets is now Stamets-tardigrade-prototaxites stellaviatori DNA merged. Think "Brundlefly". Next Stamets may be sprouting six clawed appendages and drinking water from a bowl. I think he's in a heap of DNA trouble, but maybe they will be able to modify his DNA to a less problematic state through further genetic engineering, or by using the transporter biofilter cross linked with the Heisenberg Compensator in some hyper-complex questionably ethical protocol violating couldn't possibly work but will manner, though he may resist being so fungally enamoured.
Never did FASA, so it's "new" to me.
Forgetfulness = Klingon, torture, interrogation and imprisonment.
The removal of sin plays into this as well.
Concealment is the lie Gabe told.
It's a 7. Sarek kind of dragged it down for me - I don't think the actor is all that great. Otherwise I liked it. Lorca's a sealed up box of angry cats.
So, Bryan Fuller recently tweeted this...
And he then said to check out this episode. So... look at that cool ass triangle pattern on the cloth on Mark Lenard and then look at Lorca's scars...

I really liked the episode. It's Burnham's best episode to date and I see it as a important episode were I think we will start to see her acting more human. The stuff with Sarek having to choose Spock over her I think adds alot to the real version and it's something I see as something that also happened in the prime universe. I had a feeling Lorca and the Admiral had romantic feelings. It's kind of cliche and I kind of wish you could just have a guy and woman be friends but in the end what they did do was worth of it because of the great scene were you see just how emotionally damaged he is when he almost chokes and pulls a phaser on her and then starts to almost beg her to let it slide.
The Klingons are bad once again and I think i't's lost cause with them. Maybe in season 2 they will alter the look and give them some of their old flair. It doesn't help that I still don't know why any the klingon characters are doing anything they do. They really do have some flimsy motivations for them. I guess our predictions about drugs were right. We can imagine people still use, speed since it was referenced. Staments is clearly a version from a alternate universe.
I'm curious why the black Vulcan admiral is bald and doesn't have the same Moe from "Three Stooges" haircut that must be a ancient and worshiped hair style that they don't let go of for the sake of tradition.

It may have been in one of the James Blish adaptations.
Is Katrina "Lethe"?
http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Lethe
Lethe is a therapist who has assumed another identity after a mental collapse.
Katrina is a psychiatrist who is about to have her personality smashed by Klingons, and if she escapes them , then Lorca has to double down and scrub her brain clean.

Good God, I desperately wish they would've found a better actor to play Sarek. James Frain is awful.
However, I gave the ep. an 8. I thought there was some fantastic moments for Lorca, as he demonstrated he's maybe not a complete bastard, though still a gigantic ball of secrets and mystery.
Looks like my prediction about Stamets being The Nerd were correct, although now he's the hypersensitive, excitable nerd.
Still not a huge fan of Burnham, though she was less annoying than in past episodes, though I felt this episode gave her some good growth as well.

Well someone has to have the Curly look. Still waiting for a Larry styled Vulcan. That would be Fine.
