And even it's nakedly racist ("A contract, is a contract, is a contract-- but only between Ferengi") and misogynistic ("Females and finances don't mix.")

1 and 3 are both great, and I'll go against the grain and say that 4 is pretty mediocre.
This would be more appropriate for the reaction thread on /c/StarTrek.
Wouldn't prime!Chekov be like 12 around this time frame?
None of these “very special message” episodes either
I mean, barring the single best episode of the show.
He may prefer to-- he is himself legally blind, and completely blind in one eye.
It does though. As the others said, Scotty did have to jury-rig some modifications for long-term storage and even then he wasn't able to save the other survivor long-term.
Star Trek had a long history of taking cues from capital-T Theater, so a musical was kind of a logical extension of that.
And the DIS s1 klingons look broadly like the TNG klingons, just exaggerated.
James Bond, for instance, is a different person from each actor to have played him
That's not canonical, merely a popular theory.
The idea of being able to essentially species change a Klingon into a Human with TOS-era Klingon medical tech sounds impossibly advanced for what the Klingons are known for.
It's also something that literally happened in a TOS episode that almost everyone saw and liked.

It's one thing to do as a one-off gag or a nostalgia bit. It would not have been possible to take seriously for an ongoing series in 2017, except for hardcore fans that don't need to be sold on it.
So why can't you do that here?
It’s 100 years later.
TMP isn't.
...That's literally what happens in the Dune books.
Giant Spock's skeleton in "Kayshon, His Eyes Uncovered" provides several potentially interesting details of Vulcan anatomy, and possibly a glimpse into their evolutionary history.
