I honestly don't get why they do this shit with the constant callbacks to earlier shows and movies. I'm one of the tiny fraction of the audience that actually gets all of them and I hate it, so who the heck are they doing it for? All it does is remind me how far off from real Trek this is and that I'd rather be watching "Yesterday's Enterprise" for the 5th time.
Her club host, Julius (Augusto Bitter), is a half-black/half-white survivor from the planet Cheron (TOS' "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield"). Seeing a survivor from Cheron undermines Spock's grim assertion that there were no survivors of that planet's self-inflicted genocide.
They do this all the time where they do a callback to something they clearly don't understand at all and it ends up being completely the opposite of what it should be.
This does seem to be the new trend: reboot something, stuff it full of memberberries for the original fans (so you hope to keep them from criticising it) and have the characters Do The Thing/Say The Thing, because that's what the character is all about, right?
Hence all the callbacks: "look, they Did The Thing! You love The Thing, so you have to love our version, right?"
I just don't enjoy seeing a murderous despot whooping it up in the lap of luxury at a nightclub; this feels particularly tone-deaf right now, given that the United States has just elected a convicted felon into the Oval Office.

The fact that Spock was wrong is subtly the point. The [[[libs]]] want to break down everything you thought was real.
