I love that, despite not recognizing this as a Simpsons reference until seeing the comments, I still read the last panel to the Meow Mix jingle, because you used the correct number of Meows.

Not paying is contempt of court

Yeah, but so was violating the gag order.

If he isn't jailed on a third strike, I'm done following this.

I decided a while ago that if I was a captain, my warp phrase would be Captain Tenneal's "Let's Go!" from MXC.

Just posting this comment to call "dibs!"

Weird... I remember thinking Eisenhower was on the dime, too.

Mandela effect?

Human life?! Who's gonna protect our profits?!

If you wrote these lines into Star Trek and had Ferengi say them, people would laugh at how over the top they are. But we have real people saying it here. It doesn't even leave room for satire.

Now we know why he was so popular on the raisin farm.

Sorry, I wasn't saying you were wrong about the reskin joke for Weyoun/Hat Cop. I was just making a joke about Andoria being an ice planet.

I always liked Sub-Zero, so I think I'd go with Shran. Gotta have some ice-themed Andorian attacks, right?

Also, Shran is a badass.

Do they accept medical tourists?

That's for the critique.

You're right that I couldn't think of any explicit retcons. The closest I could think of, other than technology, were Burnham being related to Spock (which you touched on), and how absolutely decimated the Federation was by the Klingons while Discovery was in the mirror universe (again, not necessarily a retcon, but it seems like it would have been mentioned more).

Regarding tech, I had legitimately forgotten that Burnham's parents and the time suit were Section 31. That said, what other amazing tech do we ever see out of Section 31? Granted, we don't even see much of Section 31 in other shows, outside of DS9 and ENT, but in those cases, I seem to recall them being more intelligence operatives. They accomplish their job by knowing more than others, and operating outside usual Federation conventions. It's spy stuff, not super weapons (outside the Changeling virus). But maybe I'm forgetting things.

I, for one, am tired of living in interesting times.
