clearly he meant that those particular Klingons were not conceived in wedlock approved by the Klingon Catholic Church,nor King K'Plah VI and so were ineligible to inherit land or hold titles. I'm certain if Kirk knew otherwise he would have addressed each of them appropriately as to their lineage and titles.
hey, if some people can act like Star Trek should still be in the 60's, ill just pretend it's in the 1060's.
I will say I want the ships to get back to having a neck. I don't think I realized as a teenager how big the saucer of the Galaxy class was compared to the rest. If it were more balanced size-wise, I'd feel differently today. It's not a bad design, I just think some of the proportions are off. I grew up with the Movie Enterprise and A, so that's my shining star, and I admit my bias. 
Exactly. The E-E looks more like the SeaQuest with nacelles than it looks like an Enterprise.
If they really do take the Ent-D saucer and restore it to service like I keep hearing, I wonder which bridge it will have - the one from the show, or the one from GEN?
Since the GEN bridge was made for widescreen, I guess they'd use that...

Yes we went over that already when thribs first posted it 3 days ago.
The 25% difference was a thing, just not a legal requirement. John Eaves didn't know why it was asked of him and speculated it had to do with legal reasons, and people took his speculation as fact.
Rumoured? It was in the trailers, and in this episode. It isn't a rumour.
Ok cool! It's still bland.
Looks better than the Sovereign.
Exactly - you look at the screen and think "Is that..?"

I would argue that the revived Magnum, P.I. represents the last visage of the "Lenkov-verse" revival of 1980s properties that began in the early 2010s. Matlock and Next Generation are as much elements of 90s nostalgia as 80s nostalgia -- they ended in '95 and '94, respectively. Stranger Things certainly represents 80s nostalgia, but it began production in the mid-10s and is producing its last season. Paper Girls is an adaptation of a mid-to-late '10s comic book and got cancelled after only one season. So I stand by my assessment that 80s Nostalgia is fading out.
Yes. Wasn't Picard made the Commandant of Starfleet Academy in Season 2? I guess he got real tired of that after only a couple of months.
I'm kinda that way, too. I'm blind to the finer points of starship design. It's got a saucer and nacelles? It's Starfleet.
Same way in real life. I couldn't tell a Ford from a Chevy from a Nissan if my life depended on it.
The Batman is a completely different and much better take on Batman than The Dark Knight Trilogy. I don't feel like I'm being lectured to all the time, it feels more adult, and is far grittier.
It gets it's influence from Ed Brubaker's comics and Dennis O'Neill's editorial reign more than anything else.

Chancellor of the Academy. You don't have to be physically present on the campus to serve in such a capacity. In fact, Sir Pat is a university chancellor in real life!

Todd said in a cameo that Shaw is the type of captain that will do the right things, when he's given all the information.
Implying that if Picard and Riker had not lied to him, he probably would have helped. I imagine they'll spill the beans in Episode 2 and he'll help.
