TMP changes the Klingons
Poll How positive are you about Discovery now?
- Thread starter Mage
- Start date
and TMP isn't a prequel. It is positive that they didn't use 'Black face make up' on white males and change nothing else than the appearance,
Evolution doesn't change this drastically in a short period of time. and the sarcophagus shows a klingon with hair. STD is revamping everything Klingon that is a bit much if it is in line with the time line
Then explain Kor, Koloth and Kang in DS9.
Cosmetic surgery, I'm not even going to look the same 12 months from now, I imagine 200 years of life gives you options on that shit. Especially with magic...sorry, 24th century "technology".
They noticed that being an old darhar master doesn't get you more Klingon ladies so they tried plastic surgery after they hit Klingon menopause.
seems legit answer to me
Now I'm picturing the three of them waiting in a surgeon's waiting room, saying they're looking too old and add those ridges the younger Klingons have now!
1. They always looked like that (budget!)
2. Cosmetics
3. They were Augment-born and later when that became extremely unfashionable, changed to look like "normal" Klingons. Which could explain why they lived so long.
I thought it was rather obvious that they found a way to reverse the effects of the Augment virus some time between TOS and TNG?
Except that they're not approaching it as if they're "tied" in any way.
It really sounds like they are going to go deeper into the klingons then we have before with having them speak klingon and having multiple houses with different characteristics. I'm excited to see what they do with them
Well i can only accept that if we see the Human 'black face' Klingons and Hairy ones in it as house, then it is a deepening of the culture and not just a revamp of Klingon genetics
If it is just cultural characteristics then i would love to see one that is not using a House styled political system Klingons and a more democratic styled Klingons or klingon that doesn't use the honour system But something else.

Yes and no, they're going to stick to the canon as much as possible, but they won't let it hinder creativity all the time.

You mean like every other Star Trek series (including TOS itself) did?
I should clairify I mean they won't do anything drastic like kill one of the TOS main characters or destroy a ship we know exists later.
Nothing that would cause big ripples
Then they'll spend their time nipping around the edges of TOS. Never doing anything that impacts anything more than the characters we see.
"You see, these are a different house of Klingons, one we didn't see in TOS and will never see again."
"We will be out in an unexplored region of space with these Klingons. So we won't conflict with anything going on."
It will be like TNG, Deep Space Nine and Voyager. They all ran side-by-side, with the occasional wink-nod at each other but had nothing to do with one another beyond that.
No. I felt like my family was too self absorbed to play with the kids they had.
