Female Klingons are ladies from Dublin, noted. They even share the orange fake tan.
Not even a ridge on their head or anything?

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.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
A lot of people think that’s what it was.
That said, TNG started in 1997 and the USSR collapsed in 1991.
joyjoy@lemm.ee 11 months ago
So you’re saying TNG caused the collapse of the Soviet Union?
Taleya@aussie.zone 11 months ago
Yeah but by '87 the writing was definitely on the wall for the USSR

The Klingons are modeled after Japanese feudal society.

Tbf TOS era male Klingons didn’t look too different from humans either
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago

The dirty truth is that almost all sci-fi "aliens" look a hell of a lot like humans.
Zellith@kbin.social 11 months ago
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.
