oh ffs, is that what Klingons look like in Discovery? they look like turtles!

[thewakokid]

It's worse. They fucked the canon all to hell and back.

[(Anonymous)]

It's Star Trek canon, who gives a shit

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Every iteration has retconned multiple things. And watching TOS, there's a lot that should be left behind. (Giant brain cells that look like fake vomit, the world that's an exact mirror of Earth, but everyone is pre-pubescent.)

For that matter, there are TNG plotlines that everyone seems to agree should be best forgotten and never touched again.

*cough* De-evolution episode *cough*

[cbrachyrhynchos]

That time that silly rubber parasites took over Starfleet, made Riker eat mealworms, and sent off a message out into space...

That time Diana had a space baby...

That time characters with about a minute of screen time tried to take over Starfleet with a mind-control game, and Wesley Crusher confronted his biggest existential horror, everyone has has more sex than him.

[(Anonymous)]

The one where the go to the African planet.

The one where Starfleet was maybe getting taken over by these scorpion things that live in your brain and they just kind of dropped it. You can't pull the "The End... OR IS IT?" ending in the middle of an episodic television series and not ever go back and resolve the creepy possibility that the mind-control scorpion parasites were taking over.

[greghousesgf]

in what way?

[(Anonymous)]

I was going to care... and then I saw WHO made the post I was about to reply to with a decent rebuttal and yeah no.

Go back to blogging about your creepy kidnap body mod plans for your girlfriend I really hope doesn't actually exist.

I don't hate Klingons in general - they're not especially interesting, as alien races go, but they had some cool Klingon storylines in DS9 and TNG. I like the Klingons alright when they're basically some kind of bloodsoaked, over-the-top, crazed version of operatic plotting and high politics. That stuff is fun.

What does bother me is that it feels like a lot of the more recent shows, including Disco, don't actually have interesting things to do with the Klingons, and are instead just leaning on them because they're Star Trekky and you have to have Klingons in Star Trek. It bums me out. Klingons aren't intrinsically interesting just because they're Klingons. Their history isn't interesting just because it's Klingon history.

I resent the fuck out of CBS for wanting me to pay per episode. I LOVE Klingons but that is a bullshit version.

[cbrachyrhynchos]

CBS All Access is pay per month.

[(Anonymous)]

If you live in Canada, you don't have to pay. I mean, if you have a TV package that includes Space (Canada's version of the Syfy network.)

[(Anonymous)]

I don't give a shit that Americans have to pay, because the rest of the world is finally getting to see Star Trek in real time without having to pirate it. Stop whining and pirate it like everyone else had to for every other show.

[(Anonymous)]

Way to be a jerk. Not all of us are thieves.

[sabotabby]

I can't stand the new Klingons and I tune out every time they and their stupid subtitles and double nostrils appear on the screen. Which is in stark contrast to how much I love everything else about the show.

[tabaqui]

Hear, hear! I don't mind Klingons as a whole (though they're boringly one-note), but the one on Disco are just...boooooooooooooooooring to an extreme. And really yurk to look at, and the current rather gross torture/brainwashing/medical fuckery that's going on is particularly offputting.

[(Anonymous)]

Who cares? That last episode was FEELS <3

[(Anonymous)]

O Captain! my Captain!

I'm really gonna miss that snarky bastard.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, but also very little (no?) Klingons!

I hate that they went against the directive that the actor should be somewhat recognizable.

[(Anonymous)]

If I recall correctly, any alien make-up or prosthetics had to let some of the actor's face show. Not that Michael Dorn or Armin Shimerman didn't look different out of costume, but I could at least connect them to the characters.

Re: I hate that they went against the directive that the actor should be somewhat recognizable.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, in this case the only one with an actor who is recognisable at all is the only major female Klingon character.

[(Anonymous)]

I hear ya, friend! I am so damn tired of Klingons, even if they are needed for plot points based on the timeline. I feel like they are way overdone. And while I'm griping about Klingons, I also find their speech annoying. Seems really slow and clunky, and whenever they start pontificating, I just want to fast foward.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes. Like 'Blaming the Federation for all of KLINGON WOES' tack hasn't gotten old by Deep Space Nine.

And it seems we're due more by what the end of the latest has to say about it. :/
