Basically the new Klingons are Ozzy Osbourne.Kind of like how an American from Mobile may have a hard time understanding someone from Newcastle and vice versa?
Nah, Ozzy's from Birmingham.Basically the new Klingons are Ozzy Osbourne.
I'm way rusty but I used to be able to speak rudimentary Latin.How many people complaining about the Klingon are bi-, tri- or further multilingual? How many of you listen to other languages being spoken?
Really, of course it will sound different, involve different paces, pitches, depths, and so on.
This complaining - here and across the web - is so fecking anglophone & anglocentric. 'Subtitles' are hard, 'they are too slow', 'I don't like pauses', 'why can't they just speak English', etc. Don't you understand how conservative and narrow-minded that is. Do you complain the same when Gaelic occurs in Outlander? Or Italian in The Young Pope?
Also - ironically - don't you understand that demanding English *is* T'Kuvma's point? And a latent criticism of the show - the denial of difference?
Why? It's made up and we have subtitles.I just want to be able to understand which Klingon words they're saying.
Because if Klingon is an actual language with grammar, pronunciation, and syntax it should be respected.Why? It's made up and we have subtitles.
No it's a fake language made up for a SF franchise. There may be grammar, pronunciation, and syntax but it's still fake. A language made up by humans and not actual Klingons. It will be spoken however the people making Star Trek decide it will be and not by a bunch of hobbyists.Because if Klingon is an actual language with grammar, pronunciation, and syntax it should be respected.
It would be like if somebody made believe they were speaking Italian, just mumbled some random noises, and there were subtitles. That would suck.
We had the Klingon Shush! Something Burnham can tell her child about when it's in a dodgy situation.At least we didn't have to listen to it this episode.
Don't you go bragging, now.I didn’t mind the subtitles. I’m capable of watching and reading at the same time.
True. But Esparanto wasn't invented for the fictional Esparantish race on a TV show. Nor do people dress in Esparantish costumes an conventions.Klingon is as much of a language as Esperanto is.
