What's with the Klingons? (SPOILERS)
- Thread starter EJA
- Start date
Maybe it doesn't mean much at all except that those specific Klingons are trying to hide their identities for whatever reason.
In one of the photos from the trailer we see Nero, in the post-Nemesis future, in Rura Penthe accompanied by two Klingon guards wearing bizzare helmets over their heads. Anyone have any ideas as to what this could be about?
You learn what they're up to rather quickly, until Bruce Willis walks in to free Nero with a samurai sword.
Ernsthaft, ist das notwendig? Ich meine, klar, ich bin auf deiner Seite, aber mit dieser Haltung bestätigst du doch genau das, was man den Befürwortern in dem anderen Thread vorgeworfen hat.

That's SULU, ya old knucklehead.
Law enforcement in our world have helmets they can use in dangerous situations, I trust Klingons would have that as well.
I know that. But do they?
Most definately,but I tell ya there's bound to be a topic about them not being canon
I know that. But do they?
If not, it's much funnier anyways xD
Well, since the Enterprise is different, the Romulans are different, why not the Klingons?
I was talking to someone the other day about the possibility that the Klingon helmets might be more symbolic. Suppose JJ's interpretation of the Klingons is that they look completely different than we're used to, and that the helmets with the ridges are just mean't to pay homage to the Klingons we know. So in the movie, when you see one of these guys in a helmet, you'll recognise that its a Klingon because of the identifiable shape. But just maybe, if the helmet came off, you might see a TOS Klingon or something completely different. The Klingons themselves might just wear them to look more intimidating. Just an idea.

Bad, bad idea. The Klingons are just too iconic.
Here's a picture btw, so everyone knows what this is about (hard to see clearly just watching the trailer):

and Abrams' comment:
"Nero in rags being manhandled by Klingon guards (yes, they're Klingons under the masks). "Part of Nero's back story is that he was being held in a Klingon prison, so that's what you're seeing here.""
