Star Trek: Discovery (2017)

It's possible that these are not Klingons. But if they are, I'll give it a shot. The singular ridge reminds me a lot of the TMP Klingons, which to this day I still consider to be the most intimidating looking Klingons to ever grace the screen.

Remans, that's what they remind me of,

I've always like the TMP Klingons the most as well. They somehow seemed more militant, where in TNG they seemed more like a motorcycle gang.

They changed the Klingons radically fron TOS to TMP, so it's not like giving them a new look is unheard of.

If those are Klingons then the Death Star isn't a space station or moon, but a giant potato :facepalm

that picture has been floating around for about 5 days now or so.

So,

Either it took Paramount that long to notice it..

or they DID notice it, saw the reaction and thought 'oh crap, they hate our klingons! what are we going to do now?'

i wouldn't be surprised to see discovery delayed again

Can you tell i have no faith in them to get star trek done RIGHT these days?

 

[The Terminator]

"they kinda looked like them" not even close, Klingons for example have hair......

Like mistaking a dog, for a rhino :lol

Hey, they both have four legs
:rolleyes

 

[KrangPrime]

So,

either this is a REALLY stupid extra..


Or this could be one reason why the head guy left the series for 'creative differences' ;o)

The Shenzhou has a multi-cultural crew, so much for everyone's assumptions.

Not the 'mass appeal' Klingons.

 

[Angelus Lupus]

Ah yes, the 'Bling-ons'

 

[MrSouthpaw]

I don't even understand why they think they need to mess with the look. Klingons looked great already.

cause, you've gotta put your own unique stamp on it. and if it sticks, you're the new roddenberry, a man of genius. duh

 

[Clerval]

There's been nothing positive about this show from the start; the over-analyzing, horrible design, incompetent production/mgmt roles, complete waste of the asset team and development cycle (re-do this, that, we don't know what we want), a complete train wreck.

 

[CessnaDriver]

If those really are reimagined Klingons, the leaker did a great service to fandom though certainlly unintentionally.
I hope the studio is looking at the fan reactions. Even if they are not Klingons it's a positive thing
that they hear the reaction.

 

[KrangPrime]

what are the chances that was a PLANNED leak just to gauge reaction?

usually you'd think security for something like this would be far tighter than that to allow something like that to happen.

Pretty high, I'd say. Studios do this kind of thing all the time--release "top secret" information and say it was some careless underling. "Oh, so-and-so shouldn't have let anyone see that photo. We'll have to talk to him about that. But, uhhh, since you've seen it, what do you think?" :rolleyes

Yeah... because why be upfront about this sort of thing and just put it out as a "focus group" press release to gauge fan response.
I guess the recent Ghostbusters movie is proof that fan/view response doesn't stop the train from crashing and in some case it makes them go full throttle thinking they're going to prove everyone wrong with the final product.
