I'm not going to lie. I had the same issue with the klingons at first. Not over their appearance, funnily enough. I thought it was an interesting take and considering the fact that klingons in TOS just looked like dudes I waved away an alien race looking a bit different. The thing that enraged me was the language. Either the dude who played T'kuvma had no time to practice Klingon or he had a truly terrible false teeth set that made it impossible for him to speak Klingon.

I did completely discount Discovery until Season 2 started and I decided to give it another shot by starting from the top. I'm so very glad I did. I have critiques of all the shows, and I mean OG and Nu, but I still love them all the same. Me being a gay dude and finally getting proper representation in Star Trek does mean that Discovery did get into my good graces very quickly. It's just nice to see a character that's like me for a change instead of sitting through the 17 trillionth heterosexual love story.

Hey now, don't be ableist against Klingons with speech impediments! \s
