/c/TenFoward: 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. 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.

My only reason for disliking the new Klingon look is that it just felt like it was doing it for the sake of doing it rather than having a good reason to do it. If they wanted to take the TNG look and make it even more alien-looking due to advances in prosthetics it would have been one thing, but they pretty much threw out everything but the ridge heads.
Also, and I'm guessing this is because of what they had to wear in their mouths, the Klingon language got suuuuper slow. Especially with Voq. It made the scenes a lot longer than they needed to be. Voq's speech in the first episode just dragged.
Most of the other visual changes didn't bother me much, since they generally made sense and just were because effects had improved, but I just don't know why they changed the Klingons other than because they could.
