What did you think of the alien redesigns? (spoilers)

Where was the lead Klingon's beard? Was he just a teenager who hadn't grown one yet?
Without a beard he deserved to die without honour!

Don't let General Chang hear you say that. Then there will be no peace. No peace in our time.

Haha! Chang can't hear me... he died without honour!

In "Errand of Mercy," only Kor and his lieutenant had any facial hair at all; all of the background Klingons were clean-shaven. In "The Trouble With Tribbles," again, the foreground Klingons were bearded but most of the extra/stunt Klingons were not. In "Day of the Dove," most of the Klingons had some facial hair, but several of the extras had only a tiny mustache or a soul patch and at least one was clean-shaven. And as mentioned before, General Chang had only a slight mustache and was otherwise hairless.

So it seems that ubiquitous beards only became a Klingon fashion in the late 2260s. Into Darkness is set a decade before that. So there's no problem.

Did any of these guys,besides Madeleine and Gatt, make it on screen?

^The guy in the third photo was sitting on Admiral Marcus's left at the Starfleet briefing. I wondered if he might be a Tellarite, but he doesn't look like it here.

I remember seeing the long-headed alien at the desk in the brig, the one they call Moto in the article. I may have noticed the Monchezke engineering crewperson in the first photo, but I'm not sure.

He kind of reminds me a little bit of a Bothan in the Star Wars universe. I don't have the faintest clue what his species in Trek is called but I think all of the races depicted in those photos are pretty cool looking and make the 23rd century Abramsverse Starfleet look even more diverse than the late 24th century Prime one.
