Favourite Klingon !!!

[Nero's Shadow]

In TOS it's Kang. He is the only one who acts like a Klingon should act. Later on it is Kor, he is the only one who acts like an old Klingon should act.

That,s wot i like so much about the TOS klingons always wrecking havoc with the federation and the galaxy.

And it was quoted from kang,s wife that some of there worlds were poor and they needed to conquer planets and be warrior like .

Sorry i forgot about other Klingons in TOS but i thought those three were legendary in the series.

Many other examples on how the klingons caused havoc for starfleet and the UFP in TOS. Fridays Child for example !!!!

My favorite is Mara....

Too bad she wasn't in the poll; she's more Klingon than Kor, who is Romulanesque.

 

[sbk1234]

How about Arne Darvin?

 

[Duane]

Kor and Kang -- toss up. I went with Kor since he came first.

 

[Lieut. Arex]

Gotta be Kor.

 

[Kelso]

Gotta be Kor.

Whatever happened to that guy?

 

[Lor'Vela]

Kang. One of the most sensible and calculated Klingons in any series of Trek.

 

[Cornholio]

Kor.



'cuz umm, we're from like, the same house and stuff.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Kang FTW.

 

[Doomsday]

Kor is the original, quintessential Klingon. Jon Colicos played him with relish. His exquisite diction, cunning, and joie de vivre made him one of the most interesting characters in all of Trek. In fact, he outshone Kirk in the episode.

Doug

Ditto!

"You do not like to be pushed..."
"Have we a ram among the sheep?"
"It would have been...glorious!"
"It's a mind sifter..well, mind ripper really."

He was undeniably the best.

Although I agree Kang is a close second.

In many ways I thought Christpher Plummer's Chang was reminiscent of Colicos' Kor, although I have no idea if that was a conscious choice of Plummer, or just coincidence.

Kang.

No contest.



Kor's badass and had a great revival on DS9 decades later, but Michael Ansara will always be the definitive TOS Klingon for me.

 

[Lethe]

Another vote for Mara!

 

[Jeri]

Great picture, Lethe. I remember white eyeliner.

(Mara was an engineer, like B'Elanna and her mother.)

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Kang

 

[Brutal Strudel]

I think the "that guy" being referred to here is an old poster who used to use rolleyes a lot--at one point, his avatar was a picture of his mnamesake with the rolly eyes added. Funny.

I miss him myself.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Oh, right. THAT Kor. I remember him.

 

[Brutal Strudel]

In TOS it's Kang. He is the only one who acts like a Klingon should act. Later on it is Kor, he is the only one who acts like an old Klingon should act.

A Klingon as defined by what? They show distinctly different characters of a race. That makes the Klingons as a whole seem more complex. That's a good thing as opposed to being mostly the bikers of the galaxy as expressed throughout much of TNG, DS9 and ENT. And, yes, I know there were exceptions.

As an actual warrior with a sense of honor. Most other TOS Klingons, with the exception of Kor, were played as cowards and schemers. That might have been TOS's intentions, but I personally preferred them as a warrior race.

The closest thing we got TOS style Klingons were DS9 style Cardassians. Not coincidentally, Cardassians are my favorite 24th Century aliens.

 

[Tan Ru]

KANG.

 

[cooleddie74]

KANG.

You might be surprised how many people didn't and still don't get the Simpsons references being from TREK.

Kang? Kodos?

After close to twenty years you'd think more Simpsons fans would get the TREK nods...but oh well.

 

[Lord Garth]

Kang

That's not to slight Kor. He's a close runner up. Koloth's not even in the same league as these two.
