(except the Klingons, fuck the new double-dicked Klingons)

Funny note here but that's not new.... That's been established in the 70s Trek Medical Manual they basically have redundancy of everything important.

Any my opinion is this show is still Prime. No alt timeline.
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

Oh yeah, and TNG confirmed that as well in the episode where Worf got paralyzed.

As a guy I have to admit I'm kind of intrigued at the mechanics of having two now lol.

It's called diphallia and 1 out of 5.5mil males have it. Look it up if you want just beware of nsfw pictures.

Anyway, Trekyards talked about the Enterprise's appearance in Discovery:

They say, they don't have a problem with a visiual reboot, but then again, they are nitpicking the hell out of it alot...

Sometimes they overdo it with geekiness, esepcially when they have the designers onboard (Sternbach, Drexler, etc.)
On the other hand, their Analysis are pretty good. I do really enjoy those two.

As for the "New" Enterprise:
I actually like it, exept those nacelle struts and, what appears to be, the window.

I'm actually happy they went with those Struts. Anything to get it closer in line with the TMP Enterprise.
Makes more sense to me. Never did like the toothpick struts.

Was I seeing things or did I see two of those creatures from TWOK (don’t remember their name) in a frying pan or something when they were walking through the market?   Can’t rewatch it as I cancelled my All Access account.

They definitely looked like Ceti Eels.

my first thought was the parasites from Conspiracy, but I think your right, either the ceti eels or the creature that Nero tortures Pike with.

It's the ceti eel. Memory-alpha updated the page for it. http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Ceti_eel

The Centaurian slug is a lot different. it was a homage to it however. They considered having Nero using an actual Ceti Eel but decided not to.

CBS released some diagrams for the Starfleet away team equipment

http://trekcore.com/blog/2018/03/study-starfleets-latest-star-trek-discovery-landing-party-gear/

What's neat, is the effective ranges for the phasers come from the TOS Tech Manual, the 3 digit number after TM: at the top also match the first 3 digits of the tech manual number.

Even in the season finale, a lot of the Klingon signs translate to actual Klingon words

The Orion language however is mostly a 1:1 replacement of English, though some signs have letters mixed around.
