The New Klingons

[fireproof78]

Have not read it at all but all they had to say is 'these Klingons are as diverse as humans are'.
Different topic - Another thing Humans do not speak 'Earth' or 'Terra' or even 'Sol' so I don't see why alien languages are named after their planet.

Is about as old of a trope as science fiction itself. Same way of naming aliens after their planet, rather than having a distinct name.

Most people say citizens of China speak "Chinese", even though there are several Chinese languages. Granted, some of those languages are related, but there are some that are mutually unintelligible from each other.

If this bald and overly ornamental design is just for this sect of Klingons, then it is absolutely fine.

I have to say I agree completely with this.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Klingons speak tlhIngan Hol, which is sometimes called Klingonaase

Actually, those are different languages.

Better than naming ours after "dirt", to be fair. I think we should rename Earth something like "Humanor"...or something.

In the novels, most humans call it earth, but then aliens seem to refer to it as Terra. Though it depends on the author it seems.

Yep, another word for "dirt". But at least they can derive us as "Terrans" from that, following the trope.

Some of the older technical manuals and other books also called it "Sol III". Calling us "Solarians" sounds cool.

runs his Klingon house – the house of T’Kuvma – by the rules of Kahless, the Klingon messiah. And he calls himself the second coming of the Klingon messiah.(http://trekcore.com/blog/2017/09/kl...n-new-star-trek-discovery-producer-interview/)

No accident that's his name? http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Kuvah'magh

Yes. I am a Solarian, too! Just like all you other Solarians. Yes, we are all one, big, happy community of Solarians who watch Star Trek.

Yeah, I can get behind this.

Humanistan. Humansylvania. Humania. Humanica.

"The Solarians"

Norman Spinrad. That's the guy who wrote TOS: Doomsday Machine.

good look at some discovery premiere klingons and their traditional and not so traditional wear (or vice versa).

also they're gray.

Now no one freak out, but maybe when they meant more traditional looking Klingons they meant the one on the left with the more klingonish garb. *Runs out of room before I get lynched* (all in good jest of course)

They do actually refer to humans as Earthicans in at least one or two episodes of Futurama.
