The Captain's comments about the Tyler/Voq storyline are spot on. What is the point from the view of the Klingons? Sacrifice "everything" (according to L'Rell) for... nothing?
The answer for the Klingons seems to be, no purpose at all. The only useful thing from a plot point of view I can think of is that Burnham who has never been in love now is and... with a trans-species Klingon consumed by an identity crisis.
Maybe this leads to the storyline where Burnham learns something about the Klingons and achieves peace with them in the main universe. But we already know how that all turns out because TOS establishes that an uneasy peace exists. And then there's the augment storyline to follow...
The show remains entertaining. There is some very good acting going on.
