SPOILERS!!! NEW AICN RUMORS (APRIL 30)

I quote: "the Klingons will have ridges".

 

Hmmm ... I was wondering if those were Klingons from the deleted Rura Penthe scenes from Trek 09, but that fellow isn't wearing a trench coat. It looks like he's got a brown vest with wide shoulders, a sash, and black fur-covered arms.

The helmet is curious. Maybe ridgeless Klingons wear them to hide their deformed, smooth features. Or maybe Abrams has concocted a new look and is keeping it a secret.

I'm going to wildly speculate that we've just caught our first glimpse of Kor.

 

Or they wear them to cover the fact they don't have ridges. We really don't know anything yet.

 

As I've said since 2009- Star Trek: To Boldly Go

Preferably not cheesified to to Star Trek: 2 Boldly Go...

 

Exactly. They could be stylized to look very "klingon". Makes more sense than a form-fitting helmet that hugs the ridges.

 

A ridged helmet makes me think they don't have ridges. Compensating for something?

And that suggests intriguing things about the whole Augments/Khan plotline...hmm...

 

Ridged. For her pleasure.

 

That needs an image of Worf and Jadzia to go with it.

 

Walter Kozlowski: Hey Boborci, do the Klingons have ridges?
boborci: Yes.

 

This is more information than I needed to know about Klingon female anatomy.

 

Spoiler: Was it or wasn't it?

Well I'll be damned.
