God drat it, Star Trek. Why do you hurt us when we love you so? At this rate the Vulcans are going to look like the Remans.

Star Trek is like the worst show to do this kind of thing with too. It's not like you can just gently caress around with the design of a species and people will still be like "oh yeah, those must be Klingons because their foreheads are all weird." I mean, come on. Even a ridged forehead isn't a definitively identifying thing in Star Trek.

I want to believe they're some lower caste species that serve the Empire, but in my heart I know it's yet another terrible Klingon redesign. Of all the things to gently caress around with, why that?

The Romulans are now green slime creatures, and the Borg all wear three piece suits along with their hologram eyepatches and cyber diapers.

When you're given the reigns to one of the biggest franchises in the history of fiction, you're gonna wanna splatter it with your DNA. Playing around with and giving your own unique spin to iconic things would be a hard temptation to pass up.

This must be how nerds in the 70's felt when they saw the first low-quality black and white photos of the Klingons in TMP in their fan zines.

Wait a second, let's be fair here. Maybe those over-the-top ridges have been there all along, and all these Klingons just have their heads shaved for some reason. After all, we already know that Klingon spines are ridged: And even Klingon feet:  So... why NOT their scalps, underneath their usual luxurious manes?

TBF I think the important thing about this reveal is not that Klingons look different, it's that only morons would think that Klingons need to look different.

So who posted that picture? I can't find the original post and considering how tight-lipped STD has been so far, it doesn't seem like a picture they'd release like that. It almost comes off like some extra on the set posted a picture and only had a vague idea what Trek aliens were and just called them Klingons.

After all, we already know that Klingon spines are ridged: Yeah, but their heads are pointy, like ancient humans who practiced cranial deformation on babies:  And Klingots never looked like that. They should have just made this a full on reboot and said they were ignoring all continuity and were "inspired" by TOS and it took place in a new timeline with elements of the old (ie what we all thought JJ Trek would be before we found out he was going out of his way to link it to the original timeline). We probably would have been a lot more accepting of it instead of having them poo poo all over canon. In fact, I may just consider this as a non canon reboot in my own head, and then maybe I can enjoy it more.  #NOTMYKLINGONS Astroman fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Feb 12, 2017 |

It will live and die in the episodes themselves, well that and on a stupid platform that will drag it down with it when it dies. Anyway, If the show is decent, makeup and costume changes will be forgiven. That said, I don't really like them, one thing the until now ubiquitous forehead aliens had going for them was an ability to retain expressiveness and individuality.

dont even fink about it posted:My general feeling from the show is that Crusher and Troi started as the flattest and most disinteresting characters, which contributed to the writers almost never developing them. Remember the Robin Hood episode, where Picard, Riker, Worf, Geordi and even Data who was playing Friar Tuck got to sword fight the Sheriff of Nottingham's men while Crusher and Troi got to smash pots over their heads?

Netflix apparently paid a massive amount of money for the Discovery rights outside of America and Canada (I think a CBS executive even said it was enough to pay for the production of the show) , I imagine CBS doesn't want to piss them off too much.

So the prevailing theory is that those are the 'Sarcophagus' Klingons, rather than modern Klingons, which is why they look different.
