* ContinuitySnarl: The hull of the Sarcophagus is covered in coffins containing fallen Klingons. Whether funeral traditions changed over time or this is something exclusive to the House of T'Kuvma, "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E19HeartOfGlory Heart Of Glory]]" said Klingons don't care how bodies are disposed of after the soul, as theyre considered to be empty shells.

-->"First officer's log, stardate 1207.3. On Earth, it's May 11, 2256, a Sunday. The crew of the U.S.S. ''Shenzhou'' has been called to the edge of Federation space to investigate damage done to one of our interstellar relays. Blast burns around the hole are inconclusive. Were they caused by an asteroid, or was it deliberately destroyed to limit Starfleet communications? And if so, by whom? Despite the risks of our mission, I remain optimistic. It's hard not to be in the face of such beauty – in this case, a binary star system. Around these two suns, ice, dust, and gasses collide to form planets future generations will call home. A humbling reminder that all life is born from chaos and destruction."

%%* SceneryPorn: The binary system. Burnham even describes it as such in her [[CaptainsLog personal log]].



* ShamingTheMob: The faith of T'Kuvma's followers wavers to the point that they aren't sure if any of the Great Houses will respond to their call to unite if they light the beacon of Kahless. After Rejac is killed, T'Kuvma calls for another to replace him as their "Torchbearer," to honor their House-- none will, and even Rejac's own brother expresses his doubts. Then "Voq, son of none" steps forward, a shamed albino derided as a freak of nature by his fellow Klingons, who declares that while he is not a member of an honored Great House, he will prove his honor through his faith and deeds by taking Rejac's place. T'Kuvma accepts, moved that this shamed outsider has displayed more courage and devotion than the high-ranking members of Great Houses who [[RefusalOfTheCall refused the call]].
