Those aren't empty costumes. There's food and drink on the table, and arms & legs are clearly visible. You can even see the feet of the actor on the right, closest to the camera.
First look at Klingons in 'Star Trek: Discovery'?

…So say all those that insist that they absolutely must change all the "aesthetics in the background". As if that will automatically improve the storytelling.
(And change it they did. Into something bland and generic that looks it could very well be from 70's Doctor Who, Andromeda, Farscape, etc.)
More generic than people with nothing more than painted faces?
A page from article by Leslie Thompson published in "Best of Trek #3" in 1981. Sound familiar?
"an affront to the fans". 
Seriously, I think both sides are being a bit silly. It feel like some people are totally against every change and then there are some people who are all: "I hope they change more things just to piss off the "old school" fans."
I think it's okay to find a balance. I'm happy to see things re-imagined but it's not like they have to change everything just for the sake of changing it. If they want to do that, they might as well just create a new franchise.
But "updating" the look is just fine with me, especially if the updated look still hints at the roots. The latter is pure fan service of course but a little consistency doesn't hurt.
I've said it before but I thought JJ-Trek did a good job there with its modern retro feel. I don't even like the first two JJ movies but they look modern yet still feel very Trek-y.

perfect. TrekBBS, 1980s style.
This guy was dismissed shortly after this "incident". But I very much doubt they have been upset about it.
If he was let go...then someone was upset.
^^^^^They are not Klingons.

He is/(now probably was) an Extra.
I'm sure once this photo hit Social Media:
STD Producer: "Um, can I speak to you?"
Him: "Sure."
STD Producer: "Do you recall the Non-Disclosure clause in the contract you signed?"
Him: "Ummm...."
STD Producer: "You're fired...breach of contract. Also, if you know what's good for you, you'll try and mitigate the situation if you actually want to work in this town again."
Him: "Got it."
End result: See picture above.
Well played @uniderthNo! Star Trek has been ruined ever since the second pilot!
No! Star Trek has been ruined ever since the second pilot!
No, everything after The Cage isn't Star Trek only the first pilot is canon! EVERYONE KNOWS THAT!!!
Hey, Chekov was extremely annoying at first!
Everything after "Check the circuit" is nonsense and an insult to my childhood.
Except Profit and Lace. That's canon too.
And Threshold!
Bah! My head canon only includes Roddenberry's draft proposal from March 1964.
Spock is a reddish half-Martian and Robert April is captain of the SS Yorktown. Pike? Kirk? Who are they? The Enterprise? Never heard of it.

That's exactly the way I'm looking at it.
