I think she was getting "The Voq" out of her in that scene.
After she took it out of Ash it had no place else to go, so this season They are putting it back into him.
Klingon change for season 2?

Neville Page is still saying that the Klingon ridges are sensory organs, like they stated during Season 1's production. The shaving for war reason isn't a back pedal.

I'm gonna have to agree with Rahul here, it's not adding variety because they're replacing what we've seen in the past. The only way it would be adding variety to the Klingons as a whole was if we saw the Disco Klingons alongside TNG and/or TOS Klingons.
I do like what little we saw of L'Rell in the trailer, just adding hair already brings the new look quite a bit closer to the TNG look.

First of all: Whoever directly accused the producers on twitter of back-pedaling: Don't.
They made a mistake with the bald Klingons. They fixed their mistake. And they fixed it in a way that is compatible with their previous iteration. Nobody can ask for more!
Second: Of course it's "backpedaling". Because those sensory organs were specifically cited as the reason for "why" the klingons are bald. They moved away from that idea. But NONE OF THAT WAS EVER CANON! Neither that Klingons were biologically bald in the first season. Nor the existence of the extra sensory organs for that matter. It's all behind the scenes stuff, interviews and writers bible background information. They are allowed to screw with that as much as they please. Like the four sexes of Andorians, Spock being the first Vulcan in Starfleet, the size of the Constitution class - as long as there never has been a CANON source that contradicts it, they can do whatever they want with it. And even then canon is broken sometimes, and nobody cares. Is it weird that Klingons shaved their eyebrows? Yeah. Does it matter if the issue is fixed now? No. Not at all.
And last of all: He is also 100% justified in calling it "not backpaddling". They adjusted. They had an original idea. Fans hated it. Now they put it in a new context where they can please both the fans, but also aknowledge their original idea as in-universe continuity at the same time. Job well done. Case closed.
They’re not backpedaling, they’ve been saying before Season 1 even aired that they have hair.
Except that's not true. One admiral speaking in hyperbole doesn't negate the fact that DSC showed quite clearly that there has been some semi regular contact with them throughout that time.
Have they? You keep saying that, but I don't remember seeing the quote.
Yeah, it's not backpeddling, not is any of the Klingon appearances contradictory to prior lore. Just a whole lot of hand ringing over production staff discussion.
Source, please.
And that doesn’t negate the fact that not a single person ever mentioned that the Klingons shaved their heads.
Jesus Christ, people. They fucked up, and they’d rather spout some bullshit instead of admitting it. Accept the fact the the people at CBS are a bunch of liars. Or not; I don’t really care.

They are back-pedaling on behind the scenes stuff.
They are not contradicting anything they created canonically. Saying "they back-pedaled" is both right and wrong at the same time, and simply not a good description of what they actually did.
They revised and refined a decision they previously made. That's good. They even found an explanation for how the original decision still makes sense in the new context. That's even better.
They should continue doing exactly this.

They made a change. Doesn't make them liars.
Yeah...except for the fact that people lie on the internet all the time. I see nothing in that post that shows actual proof that they envisioned the Klingons had shaven heads from the start. Just some guy toting a line.
But whatever. In the big scheme of things, I could care less if they’re BSing or not. If the show is good they can lie all they want.
