The Klingons in this version of Star Trek have a particular look, and the Klingons in the other versions of Star Trek had their own looks. To me, there's no need to get hung up on it.

I think we just need to accept the fact that this is a full reboot.

Exactly. Which is why I made my earlier statement that "accepting that the show is a reboot, is the key to enjoying it IMO.". That was my way of saying that is best not to fret over the different visuals, or the different look of the Klingons, or the newer tech etc but just accept the show as a new version of Star Trek.
I'll roll with. I'm here for the ride not the paint job.
Nah. I enjoy it because I enjoy it.
Yep. The Klingon looks has always evolved. Even in TOS you had two or more takes on Klingons. TMP introduced the ridge and the following films and TNG reimaged that into multiple ridges and outright mountain ranges! DSC is playing with the ridges again and expanding them to cover more of the face. The next version of Trek might move in a different direction.
It was in many ways the best and worst season at the same time.I thought it was ENT's best season.
Nah. If the IP or licence hold pays you it's not fan anything.Hey guys, don't knock fan fiction as a writerly methodology - all adaptation is fan fiction, ultimately. And its one which, due to Fuller's involvement in the show, fits it more overtly. So be it
It was the best of seasons, it was the worst of seasons.
The story would just need a few tweaks. We've seen throughout history that Countries become more complacent in times of peace. Set it a 100 years after VOY.
It would need a total rewrite
Nah, every 30 years or so, Klingons and the Federation go to war. It's like a tradition or something.
If they wanted to awe us with high tech, why pre STOS? Why not resume a story after Voyager. I just hope that when they decide to end this new reboot of star trek, they somehow have a shower scene and we all realize it was just a fantasy/dream.
I think the writers need to get off of the shrooms.

Because the 23rd Century is high tech.
Then you agree it's a reboot. The tech is just too advanced for the timeline.
*facepalm*
That's not what he's saying. How can anyone POSSIBLY think that 23rd century tech is made of colored plastic from an ice tray?
No, we agree it should not be rolling with 1960's tech. 2256 should not be powered by resistors and tubes.
Ooh, don't forget the tinny speakers of the time. And where are the awesome touchscreens in TOS?
TOS's bridge looks like a 1950's Nuke bunker someone painted with as many colors as they could, while high.
My theory is that they're Klingons from another part of Qo'noS or the Empire. That, or they're the result of some very dodgy and unrefined attemps to reverse the effects of the Augment virus and it left them looking different from many of their contemporaries and ancestors. We may learn soon enough, but if the history of Trek is any guide we might not.
But it still looks damn good for a TV set constructed half a century ago. For the time and for years afterwards that was the best that network television could offer sci-fi audiences. It wasn't until the original BSG and Buck Rogers that we got spaceship bridges, computers and equipment that appeared to be "better" or more sophisticated.
