I think my current level of trust is mixed: relatively comfortable they're not going to do something really stupid with her character at a macro-level, but would bet dollars to donuts there's going to be comedy episode a few seasons in where someone yells "LA'AAANNN!"

Disagree with the comment about "La'an bullied childhood" being somehow an unrelated D-plot, rather than an extension of the story about Una's heritage and her relationship with La'an. I actually was pretty relieved with those scenes, because to me it landed the "Noonien Singh" plane pretty well. That could have gone in all sorts of dumb directions (i.e., "La'an is a sleeper augment agent, trying to locate the Botany Bay and revive Khan!"
