I loved the episode overall, but that Klingon fleet should have been commanded by L'Rell herself (though that was an extremely fun way to bring back Bruce Horak without shoehorning the Ghost of Hemmer into it).
General Gorkog was Bruce Horak? That's awesome.
Also more fuel for my running theory that Hemmer isn't truly dead. I think they're holding onto him for a surprise return in the coming confrontation with the Gorn.
God I wish there was more Klingon Heavy Metal out there...
Whaaaattt ... this exists!! Man ... that klingon in the verses really works well! And yes, giving us something a bit more faithful to klingons feels like the missed opportunity of the episode ... pretty sure there would have been a way for it be comedic and klingon at the same time.
I'm okay with what they did - they were tapping into the Broadway Musical Universe, after all, not the Epic Klingon Opera Universe.
I thought it was hilarious and works with their dishonor but I also wouldn't have loved if they had been head banging to metal or going to town on some Klingon opera.
