Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x14 - "The War Without, The War Within"

I don't think they will.
Me too. This whole end to Season 1 just feels like the temporal reset button is about to be pressed and the Klingon War will either never have happened at all or will end much sooner and with a clear Federation victory now that Starfleet will have a way to detect the Klingons' cloaking fields.
I'll be pissed if they do that.
My interest in the show will skyrocket if season 2 is not a war arc. I am really hoping that season 2 will return to more Star Trekkie type episodes. It is not that I don't mind war in my Star Trek but if Discovery does 2 seasons of war right out of the gate, that would kinda depress me. Deep Space 9 handled war really well but it happened several seasons in, after developing the main characters and giving us a lot of world building first. Discovery just jumped right into a depressing war arc before we've even gotten a chance to really know our main cast.
Well good news, it isn't. It's about spirituality vs science.
Wasn't aware there had to be a "vs.", to be honest...
2017 makeup/designs. Boom. Explained.
Maybe verses is the wrong word to use.
To follow up on another thead I think instead of a time travel reset what we will see in these last 2 episodes is a negotiation likely led by Michael and Sarak with Voq's help that leads to the creation of the klingon neutral zone we know in TOS and setting up Sarak reputation as a master negotiator..
How do you explain that legend said the Sword of Kahless was made from a lock of his hair?
We don't know if DSC Klingon's lack of hair is because they can't grow it or choose not to.
There was that prattle from before the show came out about from the designers saying Klingons were bald because the grooves in their ridges acted like pits on a pit viper, allowing them to "see" in all directions.
That said, this was never stated on screen, and the Klingon mooks seemed pretty easy to sneak up on, so the writers seem to have ignored it.
And it is never stated on screen that they can't grow hair either.
it was a pube hair, of course
If the Klingons really had a biological reason to not have hair, they wouldn't just habitually shave their heads - they would be bald, full stop. At least on their heads, they might still have beards. After all, the "pits" would go back millions of years, whereas developing the ability to cut hair that closely would be a recent cultural invention.
Of course, Trek getting basics of biology and evolution horribly, horribly wrong is nothing new. I actually think TOS arguably was more rigorous regarding how it presented biology than any of the later series - even though they didn't have the advantage of decades of further scientific findings.
