This probably doesn't indicate anything, because it's ST:D but I noticed that when Mudd vaporized him his skeletal structure was very human before being completed disintegrated. That would lead more to the implanted memories perspective than physical reconstruction. That's giving the creators enough credit that they would've thought about that when vaporizing him though....

When he started talking about trout I was thinking there is no way I'm going to believe he's a Klingon that's just acting human. If anything there is a Klingon katra riding in him. I think this may actually be why they reintroduced the notion of katras in the first place. edit: note that I am not hoping this is true because it sounds dumb and woo but it's the most likely explanation I can think of

Did Into Darkness have human katras or something? I always figured only Vulcans have them and everybody else is just soulless e: then again I guess humans also have transplantable souls according to that one episode where Kirk and Spock and Diana Muldaur get

Apparently Lorca’s catchphrase was going to be “git r done” (because he’s from the southern US) until it was discovered that Larry the Cable Guy has trademarked it. They decided his catchphrase would be “go”.

It’d be nice if Voq can see everything that’s happening through’s Tyler’s eyes and when it’s time for L’Rell to flip the script on the Federation, Voq declares that the Federation are alright people and calls off the war

Yeah that's actually what is going to happen except the bad klingons won't want to stop the war they are winning for some reason and then disco will have to help and he will have to sacrifice himself at the very end

They decided his catchphrase would be “go”. I liked Lorca’s indifference to Burnham and Tyler’s enthusiastic ‘I request permission to go do x’. His disinterested ‘ok, I don’t care. I still don’t care.’ amused me no end. Edit: yes that ^^^^^

Lorca is an edgy, one-note jerk, but the actor is the most charismatic on the show.

This isn't that kind of show. The conflict between T'vkuma's cult and the Federation is clearly ideological and they completely reject Federation values and policy. It's not something personal that goes away once you make some friends with the enemy. Like, T'kvuma is clearly an alt-right analogy. In real life, the alt-right movement fully understands what pluralistic/liberal values mean and still reject them in favour of authoritarianism/fascism/purity/conservatism.

Looks like the return date for DIS is going to be January 7th, and they've released some info on episode 10: Title: Despite Yourself Directed by: Jonathan Frakes Synopsis: While in unfamiliar territory, the U.S.S. Discovery crew is forced to get creative in their next efforts to survive opposing and unprecedented forces and return home. I know some of us here were joking about the show pulling a Voyager, and well...

In the mirror universe, there's a galaxy-wide network of tardigrades, and the only way to access it is to stab Toad in the nipples

I liked it, and I liked it better than the 3rd one which had Idris Elba in it, usually enough to get me to hop on board a thing. also ID had better Klingon, not saying they were good, just better than these.

When they first describe the planet as being happy and free of conflict my wife said "Lwaxana Troi should really marry this planet". That may be the most Star Trek thing I've ever heard.
