What is your favorite incarnation of "Klingons?"

[Dukhat]

The TOS Klingons were one-dimensional cardboard Snively Whiplash villains.

The Search for Spock Klingons were petty thugs.

The TNG Klingons past season 3 were an extension of the TSFS Klingons, but with a focus on honor stemming from Ron Moore reading the novel The Final Reflection and taking the honor cues from it to develop the Klingons more.

The ENT Klingons had little differences from the TNG Klingons.

The Kelvin timeline Klingons had extremely little development.

The DSC Klingons could almost have been a completely different alien race that happened to have the same name.


My favorite? The TOS Klingons.

New poster. They don't have picture privileges.

Not that many here don't know what Klingons look like.

I like the TNG/DS9 Klingons........ but Discovery's Klingons look cool as well.... with their enhanced voices and powerful looks.
Their outfit changed as well..... from clothes embellished with fur into some sort of medieval (noble) clothes with a bone armor.
L'Rell played by Mary Chieffo seemed pretty attractive as well ... up to a point until you saw what was she capable of

 

[nedski]

They sure look like a "dominant" race

@nedski literally just posted Klingon tiddies
Somehow I don't see that going down too well

I don't think they're real anyway Even if they are .... they have a thick layer of paint on them... so it doesn't count

...The whole shot was arranged to allow for a body double for Shazad Latif, who was off to a well-earned vacation that day.

My absolute favorite? 'Em all. That is, the fact that they are different every time we meet them. Except when we expect them to be different, such as in ENT.

TNG/DS9/ENT, easily. Most nuanced incarnation, and best design by far.
Space norsemen are the best klingons.

 

[Paterson]

Are we talking appearance or behavior?

It's TNG+ version either way for me

 

[Tim Thomason]

All Klingons are the same. Any perceived difference is the result of makeup techniques and/or augment virus.

 

[Timo]

Or makeup and hairdo. Sometimes the barber's bat'leth just isn't all that steadily held...

Original Series Klingons

Motion Picture Klingons

Next Generation/DS9/Prime Film Klingons

Kelvin Film Klingons

Discovery Klingons

The Original Series for me; it was the only time I took that Empire seriously. TMP was radically odd for me making them look like wolfmen from outer space barking stuff in their limited appearance. When TSFS came around their IQ's became smaller and by TNG era it was incredibly microscopic. Disco's versions seemed to be inspired by the late H.R. Giger which felt meh, and a double meh when that series claimed to be a prequel to TOS where there's nothing in that serialized programing which would give me a spark of an indication. Feels more like a parallel universe to me and I'll never accept it to be a prequel to The Cage.

Ash Tyler can pass as a TOS Klingon.

Ash Tyler can pass as a TOS Klingon.

After he's blackened his skin with coal dust maybe.

The TOS Klingons make me think of coal miners who've never heard of a washcloth.

"Errand of Mercy" or better yet "Trouble with Tribbles" Klingons. Not the "Day of the Dove" version.

I think the Next Generation Klingons are the best. They were okay in Enterprise too.
