I am confused by the choice to have the Klingons look like the redesign. This is TOS era so surely they should look like TOS era Klingons, no?

Gene always said that TOS Klingons would have had ridges the whole time if they'd had the budget for more elaborate makeup. Kor, Kang, and Koloth had the redesign. There's no proof that anyone outside of a handful in that Enterprise arc ever lost their ridges-- and would you really put it past the Klingons to lethally enforce a quarantine?

Nothing ever ends, Adrian.

But we have to remember that a lot of people are younger and used to apps that “just work” with not even so much effort as having to sign up for an account.

If they're commenting on reddit they're used to the idea of signing up for an account.

I cannot speak to the internal decisions of /r/StarTrek, but I can speak to /r/DaystromInstitute's decisions.

As of yesterday, noncompliant moderation teams are under threat from /u/Spez and his lackeys. We reached the decision to reopen, in a limited capacity, to prevent the community from facing a hostile takeover by those who do not properly appreciate its use or its value, and to hopefully funnel traffic here, and we intend that soon those will be the only purposes of the subreddit. In coordinating this move I trust my collagues on the other subs to act in the best interests of the community first, this instance second, and the profiteering bastards last.

Romanians and Romani aren't the same thing. But yeah, probably best not to imply that any human ethnicity are secret aliens.

It even looked like the adrenaline Bruce uses in the climax of The Batman when he's fighting that sniper.

That's where my mind went as well

It's one of the funniest, most exciting, most romantic movies ever made. I've met in all my life only one person who didn't enjoy it and she was kind of awful in general. I would bet you would like it too.

Yeah. I would also guess most of the Rura Penthe prisoners in The Undiscovered Country are from Klingon subject races.

I think the refugees seen at the beginning of Generations might be part of the first formal contact between El-Aurians and the Federation. At least that was always my impression.

in this version of Star Trek, science is magic

Science is magic in every version of Star Trek. TOS has Mind Melds and Greek Gods. Throughout the TNG era is the implication that evolution has a will of its own that can't (or mustn't) be subverted. DS9's main character eventually learns he's a demigod.
