Gonald and Legnog

Klowahkan food critics hosted by Migleemo

Two celebrated food critics of Dr. Migleemo's species who dine aboard the Cerritos in the Lower Decks episode A Farewell to Farms and are found to have lost their sense of taste.

Gonald and Legnog are Klowahkans, members of the same bird-like and food-obsessed species as the Cerritos counsellor Gabers Migleemo. They appear in the fifth-season Lower Decks episode A Farewell to Farms, in the storyline set aboard the ship while Mariner and Boimler are on Qo'noS with the Klingon Ma'ah.
The pair are renowned critics, and Migleemo is desperate to impress them, cooking dish after dish with the help of his crewmates. Nothing pleases them, and their reviews grow steadily more withering.
The truth is that neither can taste anything. Both have been hiding the loss, which has a psychological rather than a physical cause, behind automatic contempt. Once their pretence is exposed, Migleemo stops acting as a chef and treats them as patients, and for once the often-mocked counsellor is shown to be good at his real job.
