Had to remind myself who middle left was. Parell from DS9 s5e22 "Children of Time."
Weird how often someone's existence is simply erased in the various Trek timelines.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

The actress who portrayed that character married the actor who played Duras, apparently.
Do bottom right and top right count? I mean, I'm pretty sure top right does, less sure about bottom right given the extent of procedures
Klingons of Theseus
I always fail these stupid captchas/philosophy questions 😭
They still count. Voq/Ash Tyler from DISCO is Klingon "at heart," just wildly altered and brainwashed.
What happened? Some kind of genetic engineering?
To quote Whorf: We don't discuss this with outsiders
That entire bit is one of my favorite scenes in all of Star Trek. It's so well cut in to the original episode footage, it's great.
Which is what they should have left it at instead of trying to put it into canon. Star Trek has always been revisionist, and the ST:Ent episodes were stupid.
I honestly couldn't care less. ST:ENT has a lot of fan service, sometimes within canon, sometimes stretching it, in this case explaining something that didn't need an explanation but neither suffered from it. I don't see how it's revisionist but I haven't watched it in years.
Top left is the result of a failed enhancement virus whose cure left a large portion of the population without ridges. A weird means to explain the transition from TOS to TNG Klingons.
That's not the right line.

But clearly Discovery was the one with “wrong” Klingons… 🙄
Well, it is the one where they spend entire episodes talking in a language nobody understands.
Also, if you want to film people speaking in a foreign (or "foreign") language, make sure that the actors are very well trained. Seeing characters speaking badly what is supposed to be their main language is a huge setback for most people, even if they have no idea how that language should actually sound. (And yes, people are really good at perceiving that.)
I don't think that was the main problem for the majority of the push back.
