Comment on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | Official Trailer | Paramount+ (NYCC 2025)

Yeah when someone complains that Discovery redesigned the Klingons but won’t complain about TNG redesigning the Klingons then you can know that they don’t actually have strong opinions about the concept of a redesign.

I agree. These folks have no perspective or are dishonest with themselves.

I can acknowledge that it can be jarring, and it can take time to accept a major visual design update.

I felt that in 1979 as I sat in the theatre watching Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

I had no heads up whatsoever that the Klingon design had changed. I was completely confused in the opening scenes with the Klingons. I couldn’t figure out what species they were.

But I got over it. Quickly.

I still think TMP is disappointing, long boring movie that rehashes the Nomad plot from TOS. The Klingon redesign wasn’t its problem though.

  Well said, except that TMP is pure cinema and you sir are worse than Khan Singh.

    We can disagree on that.
    
    I will never love TMP but I will never claim it’s not Star Trek.
