I thought she had a touch of the Lady MacBeth's about her...I got the impression she may be playing the long game with him...Not sure she isn't playing him somehow...
Too much Klingon dialogue with subtitles makes me sleepy

Your idea that an alien race should conform to the human idea of gender traits amuses me.
Oh, but they do. That's why you got a half-klingon that clearly conformed to those ideals as soon as they put a bit of effort into Worf's love life. No one would have related to a romance with someone who was the way klingon women had been presented up to that point.
But more importantly, on a metaphorical level pretty much every alien you've ever seen on every Star Trek show has been a comment on humans and human dilemmas. They're either there to challenge or to reinforce ideas. It's not like Klingons actually exist somewhere and evolved without human influence. Star Trek is a human-made show representing human ideas. You pretending that you don't get that amuses me.
Not every female who is aggressive is 'Masculinized'. People are individuals, men and women are free to have as many traditionally masculine or traditionally feminine traits as they want without being judged for their decision, especially for a fictional alien race.
And Klingons traditionally have less difference between male and female roles.
On Cardassia, science is considered a women's field and men are considered incompetent in the areas of math and science. Different alien races will naturally have different cultural norms regarding gender. No need to conform them all to human 1950s gender roles.

No. There's no such problem with the subtitles of regular shows/movies, that are just in foreign languages. They just did it wrong when making the subtitles for this show. The subtitles disappear as soon as the person said the last word. This is not how subtitles are normally done, because many people can't read it that fast. The subtitles should be left for a specific amount of time, or until new ones has to replace them, because something new is said, whichever comes first.
Not a hardcore Klingon fan but I enjoy hearing Klingon too.
