The New Klingons

[Kemaiku]

I mean, how could he forge the first Klingon blade from his hair in the lava when Klingons don't have hair?

*runs*

 

[Mudd]

How could Achilles chase Hector three times around the walls of Troy after days of neither rest nor food?

Ya know whut I mean, Vern?

What you'd really get if you dipped hair in lava - even Klingon hair - would not make much of a weapon.

Allegory and parable seem to confound hardcore Star Trek fans in a similar fashion to how allegory and parable in the various Holy Books of the world's 3 main religions confound fundamentalists.

Does. Not. Compute. Must...be...taken...literally...BOING!

It depends on your shampoo.

Maybe the smell of burning hair does something different to Klingons.

I haven't seen anything to indicate that we are now supposed to think that all Klingons everywhere and in every era have always been bald, just because these ones are.

I think it is the implication. Every Klingon on this show will be completely hairless and no explanation will be given. Fans of course can come up with explanations, like they did for the TMP change.

I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Hair we go...

 

[137th Gebirg]

Hair today, gone tomorrow...

General Chang apparently had a unilateral orchiectomy, since he was the one bald Klingon in older Trek.

No.

 

[Longinus]

No.

How so?

Once the show airs, you will.

 

[Yminale]

Klingons will look like whatever you want. Their current visual appearance is just how STisc wants to portray them. More importantly is can the actors perform with all that make up and will they act like Klingons. If they start talking about peace and love, then you can complain.

 

[Mudd]

How so?

There is no "implication;" only fans jumping to conclusions in a vacuum of information.

I hope you're wrong too because these new, old, yardstick Klingons are ugly as sin. No way Tom Paris would be hooking up with a half female version of one of these..

Torres is a hermaphrodite? I need to finish watching Voyager.

Hair today, gone tomorrow...

We shouldn't keep wigging out. Otherwise there'll be hell toupee.

 

[Kor]

I guess my pun was a little too arcane.

^ Ah, no worries. Just go and mullet over a little bit, you'll be fine.
