If there’s one thing about Klingons that is a constant, it’s that every iteration of them has competent redesigned them. This is the 4th design. There is no single Klingon appearance.
I like that they acknowledged that by saying each of the 24 houses looks different.

It is nice that we get to understand the Klingons. They quite reasonably assume the Vulcans have told the Humans about their "Vulcan Welcome"!I liked it a lot. I particularly liked that the Klingons, while clearly the villains, were given a reasonably sympathetic motivation. This isn't the first show to explore the concept of the Federation as cultural imperialism, but it is the first to make it such a major focus, and it's a subject that feels more relevant than ever these days.
The whole "logic" thing leads them to automatically destroy every single Klingon ship they meet until the Klingons decide that it's just not worth fighting the Vulcans. One has to wonder though, if the Vulcans were THAT much more powerful than the Klingons, why aren't they running the galaxy?
To be fair, the 'Vulcan Hello' is a specifically Vulcan solution to the problem, and Sarek does express his doubts that it will work for the Federation. The Vulcans, at least back in the old Star Trek: Enterprise days, were never out to win any popularity contests, so they could afford to take the most pragmatic approach. The Federation, on the other hand, very much are out to establish and maintain a particular reputation, and to them, it may be worth the cost of a ship, a fleet, or even a full-scale war to be seen not to be betraying their principles by becoming the aggressors.You might think the Humans would have appreciated if the Vulcans clued them in to how Klingons interpret "We come in peace" as "You will be assimilated"
I quite like how the show confirms the Vulcans as prissy a-holes, just as we knew all along!
