[–] z00s@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (2 children) Is discovery the one with the weird looking Klingons? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ThunderclapSasquatch@startrek.website 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yes, the one where I'm 90% sure season 1 is some other IP that had Star Treks skin stretched over it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago I still maintain that season 1 of Disco was a sly attempt to reboot all of trek into the alternate timeline Calvin-verse. I can't prove this though. To me, the aesthetics are all a closer match to what's going on in the recent Trek movies than anything done before all that. Season 2 saw the producers backpedal hard after fan backlash. permalink fedilink source parent [–] FlatFootFox@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children) They steered them back towards normal looking after the first season for what it’s worth. They literally have a character comment, “Oh hey, you’re all growing beards again.” permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SatyrSack@lemmy.one [S] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) The hair was one thing, but also their skin tone. Every previous Klingon has had a "human" skin tone. But in Discovery, each Klingon is entirely either a sort of dark blue, charcoal, or just straight up black. permalink fedilink source parent [–] z00s@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Reminds me of that TOS / DS9 crossover episode where Worf is like, "We don't talk about that with outsiders" lol permalink fedilink source parent
