Where are the Klingons?

Imagine if the Klingons are like Mandalore in TCW now? A bunch of subdued, isolationist pacifists. The KDF is a proper DF, it'll mess you up, sure, but they ain't a shoot-first type people now.

Maybe the Fed Tech allows the Klingon state to be self-sufficient (maybe star-lifting/mining is now common in the 'resource poor' demense of the old Empire?).

Maybe there's a more rabid branch out and about, even piratical, but I would like to see a evolved Klingon state, they can't expand forever, and might go to the ENT era values of seeking/gaining honor by being proficient and notable in whatever they do - Law, Science, Art, Warfare, Love, Religion, Exploring, Construction, Commerce...?

Or they're like the Reavers from Serenity.

Qo'noS is the cultural and political capital of the Federation. A centre of learning and diplomacy and the ideal of all Federation member planets.

They don't want the Discovery crew to know, because the Discovery era was a dark age in early Klingon-Federation relations.
 
Today's new episode, "Unification III," showed us TNG-style Romulans with ridged foreheads, even though Picard previously reverted the Romulan makeup to a smooth-browed look.

Picard had both types, one of each were staying at his house. I think it referred to the ridged ones as Northern Romulans.
 
We really get the full spread, with some Romulans apparently compensating for their embarrassing lack of ridges by applying tattoos. What we're missing so far is a Vulcan who would sport ridges while admitting to no Romulan blood... Possibly the original rift back in the days of Surak was more about the ridges than about logic vs. emotion?

I'm surprised we haven't seen any signs of them so far in this new century. We've seen a pretty diverse spread so far of various alien species but none of Klingons. Is the show trying to figure out how to tie their design aspects from the first 2 seasons to a more TNG aspect?
They are too ashamed of DIS track record with Klingons to include them
 
Looks like we won't see the Klingons this season. Weren't they supposed to be V'Draysh or something?

We don't know who the V'Draysh were beyond possibly being the Federation.

Disappointed we didn't get to see the Klingons. Glad we got to revisit something else though.

Isn't that a little premature? There are three episodes left after the current 2-parter.

Yes, in both its uses it appeared to be a corruption of the name "Federation" used by humans unaffiliated with it or in conflict with it. I did something similar in my first Trek novel, Ex Machina -- the people of Yonada called people from the Federation "Fedraysha" as the approximation of the name in their language's phonetics. (I suppose that's why I immediately recognized it in "Calypso," because I'd done almost the same thing.)

Anyone else kind of hope they do a MAJOR redesign of the Klingons just to troll the Discophobes? :lol:

What I really want/need is some mention of the Dominion. With the Federation in tatters, surely that would have been a huge opportunity for the Dominion to muscle back in? It makes me sad that CBS Trek has given DS9 such short shrift while celebrating Voyager so much.
