Christopher plummer performance as chang best klingon performance

If you ever see the footage from the UN when the American ambassador tells the Soviet ambassador "Don't wait for the translation answer me now" youd be really disappointed in comparison to Plummer trial version of it.

I thought Plummer and really that entire cast of Klingon's was nicely done. For once they weren't just beast like cavemen with only death and honor to guide them. They also had different physical features which was a nice touch.. and don't even get me started on plummers bolted eye patch.. hell I still want one of those.

And what's wrong with honor? You speak as though honor is a bad thing.
 
The klingons may not be two dimensional, but unfortunately some actors and writers prefer to portray them that way. Christopher Plummer brought class to the Klingons that hadn't been seen since Kor. With each of them you got the feeling there was something going on upstairs other than animal instincts.
 
I have to say Kor was my favorite, but Plummer was right up there, darn close. Martok, as others have mentioned also gets high honors, but he was a much more fully developed character.

Well depending on the culture and how its used there can be a number of things wrong with the interpretation of honor
 
Just watched ST6 recently and yes Plummer was excellent - the best. The only problem I see is that he makes Kirk/Shatner look bad in comparison. This is partly due to the way the characters are scripted but there is a definite difference in acting too.
