A note about episode discussions on startrek.website
Right now, the plan is to post the /c/startrek discussion when the episode drops on Thursdays. Once the global community has had some time to watch and digest what they’ve seen, the /c/daystrominstitute discussion will go live on Sundays for a more in-depth analysis. This is subject to change as we evaluate what works best for the community as a whole.

Then once Earth discovered Romanians (or whatever) are actually different species, it put a lot of things in perspective.
(like, the legends of vampires?)
Structural differences in their larynx, tongue, or lips seem likely.
