    I think the premise is interesting. Klingons are interesting. Spock in command is interesting. M’benga and Chapel fist fighting Klingons? God save us all. And then to face no consequence. It’s a shame such an interesting premise is muddied with all of the nonsense.

      From what I understand based on what they said in BTS stuff, the fight was partly inspired by the fact that Babs Olusanmokun is a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Why they had to have him be juiced-up fighting Klingons, I don’t know. Lord knows he could have been fighting humans without steroids.
