‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Cast Includes Klingon Captain, British Doctor and More

WTF? The title of the episode was Broken Bow, anyway. Named after the town on Ohio where Klaang crashed.

 

I thought it was Oklahoma?

 

I thought all Klingons were gay. Makes sense when you think about it.

 

Ohio, Oklahoma, who the hell can tell the difference?

 

It might fit - unless Starfleet are racists who exclude people if they are the wrong species.

 

No, surely not, no. No one was alive then.

 

There presumably were reasons why they were referred to as a "homo sapiens only club."

 

I like how the doctor's described not just as a "male doctor", but as a "British male doctor", as if British is some kind of alien species

 

Different dictionary meanings for both "alien" and "species", but to Americans, yeah, well... yeah.

 

Or Martin Clunes.

 

Idris Elba. British, male? Polls always say Idris Elba.

 

Cleveland. Cleveland rocks.

 

"Azetbur is a hypocrite" tends to spring to mind.

(seriously. How many non-Klingons in the Klingon Empire? )

 

Yeah, that's pretty racist of you.

 

Interesting point, almost logical

 

Does that include conquered worlds and subjugated people? Not much of an empire without them.

 

Assuming the Klingon captain is a villain, who should he be portrayed?

A sympathetic foe who has his own moral code that just happens to be on the opposite of the heroes or a truly unsympathetic, violent, psychopathic thug? Some Klingons are more sympathetic then others and the Klingon warrior code can be interpreted as being virtuous or just something to justify violence, depending on how you look at it.

 

Which we have also never seen.

The simple fact is, Azetbur has no right to complain that the Federation isn't diverse - because we've seen that it is. (If she hasn't, that's her problem, for not doing enough research. )

 

I am reminded of this quote from the TV show JAG. A Russian submarine captain comments about an American naval captain:
Captain Grinkov:
Tell Captain McNamara that I will miss our games. We were never good friends, but we were the best of enemies.
