Watching it again last night it kind of seems more to me Rah stabbed himself...

I'll take it!
"He stabbed himself."
"Four times?"
"Klingons are thorough?"

I'm perfectly fine with that, too.
Doesn't give M'Benga the right to grab a knife and stab him. As the writer of the episide said Rah actually was looking for redemption. Yeah he was being a pest but why would he deserve to be killed for that. Let's put the cards on the table here. If the doctor did stab Rah he did it because of the war and knowing what Rah. But he's not supposed to make that decision. I agree with Pike.

I'm the one who voted 1(terrible). This Star Trek made me feel bad. I don't like when Star Trek makes me feel bad
If he killed himself why wouldn't M'Benga have mentioned that? Why would he kill himself? It makes no sense .
M'Benga might not even be sure of what happened.
Some deaths and even manslaughter occur in the heat of emotion and you don't realize you've pulled the trigger or plunged the blade until it's all over with.
That man would never kill himself. And I don’t even mean that in a good way.
That's not what happened.
M'Benga opened the case with the knife and stared at it remembering what he had done on J'Gal prior to Rah entering the room. Once Rah entered M'Benga closed the case. Rah then starts with his "nice guy" routine and M'Benga asks him nicely to go away. Rah continues his "nice guy" routine and then we get the confrontation revealing who the Butcher of J'Gal really was and that Rah is a fraud. Rah continues his BS and M'Benga turns around and reopens the case clearly thinking he could just stab Rah with the knife. He doesn't and instead turns around to face Rah. Then they have the scuffle we don't properly see ending with Rah being stabbed.
Either one of them could have grabbed the knife from the open case on the desk.
Until it's stated in the show what actually happen I lean toward Rah grabbing the knife to silence M'Benga for knowing the truth about him. When Chapel walked in they were tug of warring with the knife ending with Rah getting stabbed.

Yep. Plus, if that's not how it happened, then as far as I'm concerned, that's still how it happened.
I did. L'Rell had a pretty shaky hold on the Chancellorship. Like the actress and character, so I'd love to see her again.
He picked a fight with a former soldier that killed three of his best men at the same time, how in all his experience as a general would he not see what he was doing as suicude?

THIS is what Star Trek should engender in its audience. We're talking. We're debating. We're arguing. OVER ETHICAL QUESTIONS.
Most of Gene's Vision™ involved selling his product in Hollywood and making money but he did want his audience to be intellectually stimulated and talk about his stories. We're doing what Trek fans should be doing.

So, I passed?
Should have studied more for the Trek test.

Shit happens.
Arrogance. Chutzpah. Pure, unmitigated gall.He picked a fight with a former soldier that killed three of his best men at the same time, how in all his experience as a general would he not see what he was doing as suicude?
