Should the new Klingon's still use Bat'leth's?

[Jason X-Mas]

I think they should but they would proably need to be redesigned. I wouldn't mind seeing other hand held weapon's added to the mix as well. I wonder what a Klingon Axe or Machette would look like or a Mace.

Into Darkness had some cool new (unspinnable) Bat'leths. If Discovery is gonna be grittier, maybe we'll get to see a beheading or two...

 

[Bones]

How about a high-tech take on seige weapons such as a trebuchet? We could see how the Klingons handle a ground war.

I like your idea of a mace designed by a good creative artist.

 

[cultcross]

From a practical standpoint, the bat'leth is a terrible weapon, but it is nonetheless iconic. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it appears.

 

[Space Coast]

What cultcross said. As dumb as they are, bat'leths are about as iconically Klingon as rubber foreheads, so it'd be weird not to include them.

 

[Mudd]

If nothing else, set decorators love to hang these things on walls...

 

[Korusan]

Screw the bat'leths, let's see the Klingon Mind Sifter at maximum strength

 

[JasonJ]

I don't see why they couldn't or shouldn't use them.

It's too bad TOS never had the whirling bat'leths. I would have loved to see Kirk pull an Indy.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

Either way, they need to include lots of a'pos'trophes.

You mean a'Po'tRroPheS? Your accent is a bit thick there...

 

[Kor]

Well, the Klingons got along just fine without any bat'leths for all those years before TNG... But then they were portrayed as a weapon that had a long history in Klingon culture.

I think they should be saved for certain ceremonial contexts. Even then, seeing as how Klingons have a duelling tradition... I want a quick-draw duel at fifty paces with disruptor pistols sometime instead of having them always opt for some kind of sword.

No
Klingons should be ottoman commies not samurai Viking bikers
Leave the batleths to the grossly obese Cosplayers at conventions

Would this be an appropriate time for a joke about invading Uranus?

I don't think the Klingons ever penetrated that deep into Federation space.

I want to see more three bladed spring loaded knives. Or even, since its an earlier time than SFS, a more original non spring loaded version.

It's called a D'k tahg.
