A note about episode discussions on startrek.website

Right now, the plan is to post the /c/startrek discussion when the episode drops on Thursdays. Once the global community has had some time to watch and digest what they’ve seen, the /c/daystrominstitute discussion will go live on Sundays for a more in-depth analysis. This is subject to change as we evaluate what works best for the community as a whole.

        It’ll be particularly interesting to see what they do if we meet any Klingons who were also in TOS.

        Will they show them as Augment Klingons, as they did in TOS? Or will they ignore it completely?

          @dan I’m holding out hope that they’ll do a recast of Kor, Kang, and/or Koloth and show them with flat foreheads, and then have L’Rell show up with the s2 Discovery look.

            I would love that so much. I really want to see a scene with various kinds of Klingons.

            Kor is related to Kol, from Disco S1. Not sure how closely related, but they’re both of the house of Kor. With Kol being the head of the house when he died, and Kor being the last member of the house in DS9, maybe there’s some opportunity there to connect the stories.

            Maybe Kor wants vengeance for his cousin’s death, and since the Discovery is now gone, he just goes after the Federation’s flagship.

              My headcanon is that Rynar, Kor’s father, is a brother of Kol-sha, the father of Kol.

          We are years away from “The Incident” that caused most of the Klingon population to lose their forehead ridges. Of course Klingons don’t discuss the issue with outsiders.

            But Strange New Worlds takes place 100 years after it. It’s less than a decade before TOS.
