New Klingongs suck? Like?


So they didn't stay true and created Klingongs that look different. What do hardcore fans think?

reply

I know, right? I just saw them myself. I haven't been keeping up and didn't know they had changed the look of the Klingons. Why did they do that?

reply

Because Gene isn't alive anymore to beat the stupidity out of the ego of the people involved. It's another Enterprise. Lots of potential but not TNG quality.

reply

I just don't get it though. I read where the producer said the look for Klingons has changed throughout the years, and that's not even remotely true. They've primarily had one look. Even Enterprise knew to keep that look, and when it did change, they came up w/a good reason for the change. I don't even want to look at these freaky, reptilian, slimy looking-Klingons. Haha!

reply

I agree. They are grotesque. I couldn't care less about the inconsistencies in the way the Klingons looked in TOS and in the subsequent series, but here they are not only repulsive to look at, they barely seem humanoid.

reply

Right?!? The look is really awful and threw me out of the show. The change was unnecessary, esp in light of all the other changes.

Hardcore fans watch the trailers and read fan sites. You seem to be a troll.

I've seen the new Klingons, ships, uniforms months ago.

reply

Anyone with a different opinion or taste is a troll nowadays. Don't resort to name calling. Say your argument, respectfully, or go away.

reply

I saw one of the trailers but didn't realize they were Klingons.

reply

LOL! Just because you live and breathe all things Star Trek doesn't mean the rest of us do.

reply

I consider myself a hardcore fan of many things, Star Trek being one of them, and I make it a point not to watch trailers or read fansites and what nots until I've seen the show or film. Only time I watch trailers is at the cinema.

Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks.

reply

Pardon me, but what precisely are Klingongs? Star Trek has Klingons but not Klingongs.

Yes, I'm sure its a typo, but you might want to correct it.

reply

They are the clown version on the Ichy and Scratchy Show. They suck.

reply

They look like alien turds.

reply

OMG, You made me look into my toilet bowl and you are actually right!!! LOL!

And when they all yelled together the head bobbing made me think of a flock of chickens in a pen begging for corn!

reply

The choice of Klingon appearance, Klingon's speaking so slowly and the 4-5 word subtitles that filled half the screen were quite annoying.

reply

It made me think the Klingons should have rehearsed their lines. It sounded like someone feeding them the words one at a time.

reply

Hate the new Klingons, can't stand subtitles. I read an interview with the guy who created this Star Trek monstrosity and he actually said something like "I hope the fans like subtitles"!

Real fans will not be tuning in.

reply

This is what you get when you mess with what fans want. Screw fans, we'll make lizard people!

reply

Actually, imagine what Worf would look like if all his hair fell out - it's a little closer to these guys (though not exactly the same). More variety in skin tone with the new Klingons too. One thing I don't like is that the prosthetics are obviously bulky and restrictive; they're speaking the old Klingon language, but the actors struggle to enunciate. They sound like they're wearing mouthpieces. Which come to think of it, they probably are.

reply

They are horrible. From mannerisms to uniforms, they are not Klingons. No one likes them.

reply

No matter what anyone says, I think this is a totally different timeline. At some point in the story (maybe this season, maybe not) there will be a time travel element, something will happen to alter the past and turn the present into the familiar version. The showrunners' denials of this being another timeline are probably just to avoid spoiling the twist. Although technically, if these events are worked into the so-called Prime timeline so that they're critical to the way things have always been in the Star Trek universe, the show could be called part of that timeline. We only know a handful of details about the century between Jonathan Archer and James Kirk so it wouldn't be hard to arrange things that way.

reply

they are all black and dress in gold ... and have Russian sounding accents ... I think it is not helpful. Stupid is another world for it.

Did you see the nostrils on the leader guy ... a light-year wide.

reply

The costumes were awful, I agree. I think everyone agrees.
