There are hardly any non-human admirals at all though, so it's not a significant statistic.

Yep. Turns out it's cheaper to make cyborg costumes than giant insect puppets.

It doesn't come up very often. Their telepathy is very weak and they usually can't do much without physical contact.

Or she could be pretty typical in regards to emotional intensity but with unusually strong telepathy.

The peptalk that Mariner gave T’Lyn was absolutely fantastic. There were so many good moments in this episode, but that is probably my favorite.

"Then I suppose, by the transitive property, that I, too, am 'as Vulcan as a motherfucker.'"

I never understood people that name their kids that way. Though I understand that the one that got eaten by a lava monster a few weeks ago changed his name to Guy.

And somehow managed to be the first person in Starfleet history to get in trouble for it. Nobody else on that ship or on any ship ever got in trouble for boinking aliens.

Captain Freeman referenced it destroying the Orion ship in the intro, so it's making its way toward the plot. Or the Cerritos is making its way to the plot.

Tendi is a medical officer; she probably has it covered.

I feel like the Klingon response to their gods coming back would be something along the lines of, "How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?"

I think they were banking on Vader hating the planet so much he'd never willingly return and then later training Luke in the hopes that Vader may hesitate to kill his own kids, because Vader hesitating to kill someone is basically the only way anyone has a hope of beating him.

Vader only starts sensing Luke after he gets some training and goes from being merely Force sensitive to a proper Force adept. Trained adepts are consistently shown in the franchise to be easier to sense than untrained sensitives, like Leia.

Vader only knows Luke is his son after being told his name. He only finds out Luke has a sister after ripping the knowledge from his mind, and it's unclear if he got her name.
