Like I said, walking ball of grief. But Meyer didn't really know or like Star Trek that much when he worked on the film, so he had his own conception of Kirk as reckless and arrogant.

To be fair about those examples, the Kodos stuff and death of Sam weren't things he had control over and could prevent. He wasn't "in command" of those situations.

Kirk had like 3-4 different hairstyles and like 2-3 different uniforms across TOS. I don't remember people saying that needed to be explained...

How does he even know there's no "explanation"? It would scarcely be necessary, but for all we know Burnham has an entire conversation with Saru or Tilly about the new 'do. Or maybe the season opener does a running gag like with Saavik where several characters ask whether she's changed her hair.

It even is already explained, the first trailer for the season shows Burnham is alone in the future separated from the Discovery and everyone else for a year before they're reunited. It even shows her hair gradually growing over time!

They have the somewhat flimsy excuse it’s Neelix writing these recipes, and a creole jambalaya would contain tomatoes unlike a cajun one, but the rest of it is utter rubbish.

I mean if you think about it, how would an alien who literally never heard of jambalaya before joining Voyager know how to make it right?

The whole "Neelix is a cook" thing doesn't make a lick of sense

They did sort of address it in Voyager I think - where the food he was making early on was gross/inedible because he didn't understand the human palate.

And then my memory is telling me he made a cheese that infected the ship because it has some sort of biological circuitry?

EDIT: The more confusing inaccuracy is that he's using pounds and fahrenheit when I thought it was established that the Federation was using sensible units?

I thought baked jambalaya was just going to mean getting it to a boil transferring it to a low oven, and letting it simmer for a while to complete (like simmering it on the stove but gentler), which is a technique I've seen Serious Eats recommend.

But no, it's uh, baking the cooked rice and cooked "sauce" together. I've never heard of baking jambalaya and not sure why you would.

Supposedly they act like a biological brain would, letting the ship make new connections and compute faster (like a human brain does) but then it was just used for "the ship is alive and its being wacky" episodes
