I assumed the combat drug was something illicit that M'Benga had discovered during the war.

Another critic asked me if the drug had come up before, and I couldn't remember. Was curious if I'd forgotten something from Discovery, or even before that.

IтАЩm in the middle of watching Discovery right now and nothing like that has appeared in the first two seasons.

In Discovery, everyone is just super-human kung fu fighter by training.

Gotta go back to the good old fashioned, Starfleet approved double axe handle punch. No respect for the classics these days.

Ok, *some* respect for the classics. But this time it was a drug enhanced superpowered double-ear-slap!

I don't think so.

And speaking of the war, was it just me or did this episode have more references to the Klingon War than season 1 as a whole? I hadn't yet watched any of Discovery before S1 of SNW aired so maybe I just wasn't on the lookout for them, but this episode felt much more like a direct continuation of some of Discovery's story lines (at least from it's first season). I wonder if that was an intentional attempt to make SNW as approachable for a new viewer as possible and they're now working under the assumption that people who subscribed for it (like me) have since caught up on its parent show?
