When we follow the development history for the show, how Bryan Fuller first envisioned the show - as a anthology type thing where each season is a different crew/ship/story/era, and then the years of production delays, Fuller jumping out the airlock (or getting pushed out by CBS) and all the drama...
This all makes sense.
Nobody knows what the hell they are doing. The probably spent a ton of time and money developing the Klingon sets/costumes and storyline for whatever the original story was...but then they did an about face and decided to scrap it for another thing but had to shoehorn it in. Then they decided to go insane and be all BSG and make it gritty and kill everyone and use the Mirror universe to do it...
And now we have a nonsensical show truely going where no Trek has gone before where it's just a crazy ride trying to shock the audience at every turn.
