First look at Klingons in 'Star Trek: Discovery'?

With a plate in his chest to recharge.

 

I was thinking the same thing. I just didn't want to be the first person to say it.

Oh, you poor sweet and innocent Pokemon virgins:

 

I saw that conversation picture that same day as the original "Klingon" picture started spreading, I doubt it was that fast

 

Once they get their hairpieces, are lit properly, and start swearing, they'll be Klingons.

 

Is there anyone else that went to the NY convention and saw the video that started off the Discovery panel? I seem to recal a very brief shot of traditional looking Klingon prostetics in that video. Am I remembering it wrong? I'm prety sure I saw it and my theory is that this leaked photo is some sort of offshoot of the Klingon species.

 

This. So much this.

 

Klingon Commander: "FUCK!"

 

"F'UcK: Yes, commander?

 

Have an entire scene at a diplomatic conference where the Klingon Ambassador goes off on one, the captions just say "incomprehensible Klingon" while everyone stares wide eyed and terrified.

 

Those fucking Starfleet motherfuckers! Bring the weapons the fuck online... now, motherfucker! (Get Sam Jackson for a cameo.)

 

Chris Obi must be done filming for now

That spiky armor they have looks ridiculous. It has no place in a supposed science fiction setting. Even as a medieval fantasy armor, it looks impractical and dangerous to the wearers themselves and their group mates. Isn't Star Trek described as a science fiction franchise? This does not look the part.

 

What difference does their style of armor make? How does that negate the "science fiction" setting? Being impractical or dangerous has never done that before.

 

If it is one thing speculative fiction is known for it is practicality. Especially in Star Trek, with no zippers or pockets any where.

 

HD has forever ruined the idea of no zippers.

 

Theiss managed to hide them pretty well. His successors didn't really try.

 

They're (apparently) Klingons. A race that, for the last thirty years anyway, has been written as taking pride in being impractical and dangerous.

Also: No big surprise that characters who have spent a lot of their shelf-life being compared to Viking Berserkers, have ended up sharing characteristics with something from Historical Fantasy.

 

The only issue I have with the armor is that it's a bit too similar to Hirogen armor. But I love how it looks like it would be dangerous just to touch. For too long the Klingons have been like the sword guy in Raiders. They make a lot of noise, try to look threatening with their swords, but they're kind of useless as opponents. Hopefully DSC will change that.
