/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.

I'll go to bat for it. The existing Klingon makeup was initially pretty fearsome, but had become too friendly and familiar to the fans. We'd watched Worf get beat up 100 times, get married, and fret over a pimple, and we'd seen too many jolly Klingon blood wine parties. It wouldn't have been effective for Discovery's story of a truly alien warrior race re-emerging after 100 years and going straight for Starfleet's jugular. A dramatic redesign was the best most effective way to put us in the characters' headspace for the Klingon war arc. And they'd already been reworked in the past, so why not again?
(I appreciate that you oppose each redesign, though! Rarely see that consistency.)
