10 Most Messed Up Deaths In Star Trek: Discovery

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, though it typically doesn't involve murdering the person you plan to impersonate. I think it's safe to say that, and for want of a better synonym, the 'original' Tyler is no longer with us. Let's just hope that death by Klingon doesn't mean Sto'Vo'Kor with a whole fallen army of them!

As for the guttural echo over the voice, to coin a phrase, it is Voq who gets the (no doubt incredibly pointy) trophy for most messed-up death. From a certain perspective, Voq also never died in the first place. His personality might well have been purged from his new Tyler shell, but his memories remained. 

There is a Klingon word for the procedure Voq put himself through — choH'a' or 'great change' — but not one for 'anaesthetic,' it seems. After all, it's probably very dishonourable to be anything other than wide awake whilst you're being splayed open, sanded down, re-sequenced, cracked, and crushed. All that just to fail pretty miserably as a sleeper agent. That really is effed-up, especially for the next person on this list!
