I wonder if this actor is playing a Ba'ul: https://trekmovie.com/2018/10/13/cr...in-star-trek-discovery-klingon-hair-defended/
I buy it. It'll be funny if by 'old creature' he just means that this alien is like...I dunno, a thousand years old or something, and not automatically an alien from an older series.
Wow. I remember reading about his casting a while back and then forgot about it. Duh, he's a perfect fit for the Ba'ul /dark shadowy creature we saw in the preview. Thanks for the reminder!
Could he nave been Sneezer (Linus)? Saurians could be considered as being and old Alien, since we first saw them in TMP. (and Linus was pretty tall)
I'm not going to lie. If I met aliens in the middle of the day and they turned out to be friendly, the first thing I'd say is, "Get me the Hell out of here!"
