Yeah, I still don't believe she totally eliminated Voq.
I think that rite she implemented on Tyler either pushed Voq deeper into his mind or she pulled it out of him into herself.
That scene in the first trailer where they are doing some kind of ritual with that elderly klingon may be when Voq comes back.
I think you need to rewatch the season.
I've watched it twice! And I'm pretty sure I would not want to visit Q'onos on a cultural exchange program until Worf's time, thank you.
Remember Kor rounded up a group of unarmed, pacifist civilians and had them executed. They were Organians, so they didn't actually die, but Kor didn't know that at the time.
So Klingons being violent and ruthless isn't that out of place with the era.

Not until this show did we see what Klingon disruptors can do! Green splatsteam!
These guys are all about Death. Their honor system is intrinsically tied to it.

Is anybody else planning a speed binge of the series ahead of the premiere on January 17th?
I'm going to try and watch one episode a day starting next Thursday (Jan. 3) so that I finish the first season (of which I've seen all but one episode) on the 17th before the second season premieres.

I'd like to binge it, time permitting. At the very least, I'll re-watch the last two episodes immediately before I roll into the season premiere.
I just re-watched the first three episodes, last night, to catch what I missed. I will likely re-watch the spore drive demo sequence from "Context" tonight, because I still haven't caught what all four scenes are, and in particular, the one that's allegedly the Guardian of Forever.
Rewatching it now on BR disk. It's pretty impressive. Looks and sounds great. The extras are light, but interesting. Some deleted scenes, which I really don't understand given that many of the shows clocked in under 45 min.
Overall, the most fun thing about the rewatch is watching all the little hints dropped and the nuisances behind Jason Isaacs and Shazad Latif's performances knowing what the plots twists are. There are also a lot of awesome details to the sets, costumes, props, etc that you miss the first time through.

The Special feature on the props is interesting, it feels like they were given a completely different directive from the rest of the production, to stay more faithful.
They say they made the phaser look more militaristic to show Star Fleet isn’t the organization that it will become in TOS.

I just watched that last night. Thought it was pretty insightful.
I'm on to Si Vis Pacem next. I'm hoping I like it more the second time through.
Yeah, I think think the designers out-thought themselves on that one
Klingons are just massive dicks, no matter what era they’re in.
If Seth Macfarlane was writing a Trek episode, that would be a line of dialogue in the script.

Shouldn't that be "Massive Multi-Appendage Dicks" ... ??
Kodos basically did the same thing, so humans are still pretty violent and ruthless in this era too

I've always said that my take on Trek's "evolved humanity" is this: Humans as individuals haven't changed at all. It's human society that has changed. We don't have large groups who are looking to kill other large groups of humans, or take their resources, etc. But, on the individual level, people are people. Bad and good and everything in between.
