It's a big deal to me. It is an important part of their visual language (and there being some occasional bald Klingons before doesn't change that.) It is not about continuity or sense makery, but the feel of the species. Klingons should feel feral; as I have said many times before, they should look like werewolves, not like vampires. It's like sure, logically Bruce Wayne could decide that now Batman uses green suit instead of grey and black, but it would drastically alter the visual language of the character; it wouldn't feel the same any more.Can I ask a question while trying to keep in check my sarcastic tendencies? Is Klingon hair that big of a deal? I mean, we've had shaved head Klingons before so I'm struggling with why the lack of hair was the tipping point?

Acting concerns aside, as I can see that, even if I don't see it as a problem, this hair thing is a major sticking point that is baffling to me.
I hope they eventually look like Klingons in those awful Gold Key comics, bald Mr. Clean looking guys in pinkish/purple armor.I hope they all suddenly look like TAS Klingons, with no explanation or even mention whatsoever.

I'm watching the Comic-Con panel, she gave the Season and Episode number for TNG:"Rightful Heir" heh.Hahaaa, what a nerd!
I love her.![]()
No. But, the only one I can recall is the leader of the Into Darkness Klingon patrol.Chang was bald and looked awesome.
Was he the only bald Klingon we ever saw? I don't remember.
I appreciate the explanation but it's definitely not the same for me. They still feel like Klingons, just another variation.It's a big deal to me.

I am very visual person, these sort of things matter to me more than to some other people.
That's kind of my view as well.Isn't it easier to chalk it up to the Klingon Empire being so old and vast that there are a multitude of Klingon Races out there which we probably haven't seen yet.
And that many of them are considered subordinate to the ones actually in charge at any particular moment?

They've been known to be follically challengedChang was bald and looked awesome.

But how many?That guy was a dick.
But how many?
It's ok. Khan killed him.That guy was a dick.
He wasn't bald, he was balding.Chang was bald and looked awesome.

But, there is no reason to assume that Discovery represented all Klingons at the time.He wasn't bald, he was balding.
Seriously though, he looked fine. With his little 'stache and ponytail, I'd have dated him. I doubt many would care if the occasional Klingon was bald, it was DISCO's sudden all Klingons are bald that rankled.
