Just finished watching the series up to the mid-season finale. While I was ready to write it off after the first couple of episodes, I think it vastly improved as it went along and the finale was excellent. Lorca is now one of my favorite Trek captains right alongside Sisko, he has a lot of depth and a darker side to him that we haven't seen since In The Pale Moonlight. I also enjoyed the fact that the show isn't centered around the primary officers, and the main characters were added organically. It gives a sense of uncertainty when you're not sure who will live or die, rather than all the other Treks where it was "Here's your bridge crew, none of them will ever die except for maybe the one poor actor that no one will care about"
As for the finale I think it's positive that Tyler is Voq after that last bit. I wonder if they'll try going down the route of having thousands or millions of Klingons altered to look human as part of a gurilla war now that their cloaking tech won't work. Would be a nice little explanation and homage for TOS
