Tbf TOS era male Klingons didn’t look too different from humans either
Yeah, but they worked a little harder.
“I want the male Klingons in black face”
You couldn’t make Star Trek today!
They say, standing among at least three currently airing modern Star Trek shows
The dirty truth is that almost all sci-fi “aliens” look a hell of a lot like humans.
Or humans look a lot like sci fi aliens.
Clint Howard is still the scariest looking alien ever depicted on TV.
They really didn’t give much direction at all on how Klingons should look back then. The actor and makeup artist basically came up with it on the spot.
Pretty much all Star Trek aliens are just human from the mouth downwards.
They insist that anything else would be uncanny valley
Female Klingons are ladies from Dublin, noted. They even share the orange fake tan.
Mimi being Klingon makes a lot of sense now.
True matriarch of Duras.
Brooooo I was thinking the exact same thing!!
I always assumed it was a comparison between the West and the USSR. One could swap the populations and few would notice. It was a culture and leadership thing.
In Next Gen the USSR was gone, so they no longer needed that angle.
This is all assumption though.
A lot of people think that’s what it was.
That said, TNG started in
19971987 and the USSR collapsed in 1991.So you’re saying TNG caused the collapse of the Soviet Union?
…
Yes.
Yes I am.
Yeah but by '87 the writing was definitely on the wall for the USSR
1987, bit of a typo there my guy.
Yeah, I fixed it.
The Klingons are modeled after Japanese feudal society.
Trust is super interesting!
More eyelashes. More. Okay, I think you’re hearing, “Give me a lot of lashes.” What I mean is GIMMY ALL THE EYELASHES BABY!
Lashes you say?
Ol’ gene knew the cost of rubber in the 60’s
I don’t think that means what you think it means.
'Tis a pune
This mother does have a flat forehead!
