So, the "Torchbearer..."

I agree. I want a good story to go with it, and from tweets from the production folks (as well as cast), they're paying attention to every aspect of this series. They get Star Trek. They know what goes into a good story. I am hoping that it translates well onto the screen.
I do too, of course. It's harder to judge that right now. In a couple of months, we'll get a much better sense! And, I agree, everything they've said indicates that they get Star Trek. I am feeling optimistic!
 
Someone on Twitter deciphered the Klingon script from the d'k tahg:

Now that's attention to detail.

Although: Klingon is letter-for-letter translatable to English?

They probably did it for the wider audience who don't have a Klingon dictionary available.
We already know from actor comments that the actual spoken language still exists.

I suspect the "Rotates and examines convention photos of costume to translate tiny text never visible on screen" and "Does not have a Klingon dictionary to hand" demographic is quite small ;)
 
It's nice to see a Trek show getting to play with Netflix level cash. Some quality stuff is sure to come.

We will all miss Klingons wearing surplus Planet of the Apes boots and walking around on repurposed bridge sets from the TOS films, but this sort of thing will comfort us through the hard times.
 
I want this exchange to happen:

Klingon Soldier: "I am wounded. Please, take my bat'leth and cut down the enemy!"

Other Klingon Soldier: "I- uh- I think I'll pass on the bat'leth there."
 
Is this were the cult of the warrior started with the Klingons? That would be so interesting if their influence gave rise to the very warlike style in TNG.
ENT addressed how the warrior caste was gaining power, while the influence and presence of other castes were diminishing in Klingon society. It was in that episode that totally ripped off STVI:TUC.

Right, forgot about that. Still, I like where this is going.
 
So it's not an enjoyment thing at all then - the studio have created a show you want to watch, you just want to steal it if it doesn't do exactly what you want. You feel you have the right to punish them for not taking creative decisions you agree with, not by simply not purchasing, but by stealing the product. Classy.
Shamelessly, like Trekkies have been doing since the days they invented media piracy passing around video tapes in basements.

After all, if they aren't going to respect the setting why should I respect their copyright?
