(Maybe)The Klingons in the next Trek movie...

Will be like the Joker in The Dark Knight: Something that has never been seen on the big screen and will just blow us away! With the slate clean, JJ can go in any direction. So I think that he should go back and take what TOS established with the Klingons and ratchet that up. Meaning no more monosyllabic, pseudo Vikings barking about honor and Stovokor and other useless crap. I want them to be a real threat! With the Vulcans severely crippled, they can make their play. Anyone else agree?
 
Well, again...I hope not.

We got plenty of Klingon over the years in the movies and various series. I don't see how JJ could improve on that.

I pretty bored with Klingons now because of the oversaturation of them over the years. The Borg suffered the same oversaturation.
 
Yes. I hope so. And I'm looking forward to seeing a new interpretation of Klingons based on their legend and not their previous appearences.

Big, threatening and dirty. No surrendering and no prisoners. A brutal warrier race that deserves our fear, and one that will take imagination to defeat.

You see, that's what I'm not hoping. That sounds more like the TOS Romulans. Remember the Klingons that were able to infiltrate the Federation in The Trouble with Tribbles? I want those Klingons.:) No more brutality, no more shoot first and ask questions never Klingons. I want them refined, cunning, and deadly.
 
Klingons would be the logical choice, but I kind of hope not. However, since the OP is comparing the Klingons to the Joker from Dark Knight, my questions is who would represent Harvey "Two Face" Dent? I'd go with Mudd.

Does that mean you want the smooth forehead ones?
 
I'd be less interested in Super-Scary-Viking Klingons and more interested in dangerous and intelligent fascists - in other words, TOS-style Klingons. :)
 
I dont mind Klingons appearing in it, maybe as a minor threat but frankly we went through so many hoops to establish this new timeline where anything can happen that it seems kind of a waste to retread older movies. I'd like to see some otherworldly threat, a la Doomsday Machine or V'Ger

Bizarely, thats how I imagine the Romulans.

I wouldn't go for trigger happy barbarians either, they don't make for a plausible space faring civilisation. But arrogant, domineering and often sadistic bastards out to trample anyone that opposes their rise to dominance.

Actually, I want bad greasepaint makeup.;)

JK. Actually, the tortoise shell heads can stay. Maybe they can even ratchet up their alieness a bit more. I don't know. Any designers here?
