I'm not sure what to think. It looks like a very, very radical departure from what we're used to.

Source.

 

[SpaceWolf]

At least they didn't go with their Original Series look.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Too baldly, no.

 

[Speevy]

WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR FACE

 

[ubique]

Nice to see Cenobites getting work

 

[radios shipping overview]

When did they interbreed with an aquatic species?

Do they worship Dagon?

 

[lastplayed]

Eh, redesigning for a new audience like they've done twice before. I'm not too fussed.

 

[Jackpot]

I'm hoping that coil that goes up the back of the head is meant to hold all the other prostheses in place and will be covered by a wig.

Closer look at the armor.

There are rumours going round that the show features a group of "ancient Klingons".

 

[Chris Murphy]

They don't look like a species of warriors :S

Edit: They need to be a bit more beefy.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

I thought i'd point out this could haves something to do with the rumoured

Spoiler

sarcophagus ship

we saw some time ago. Maybe the elongated head design is similar to what some of our cultures did with head binding in ancient cultures.

 

[brian577]

Edit: nevermind

 

[Leflus]

It's a petaQ!

Edit: Ah. So they're not klingons after all? Carry on then.

 

[jblank83]

I hate to be all "old stuff was perfect why change it" but these look weird and the old ones were perfect, so why change it?

I'll wait to see it in action though. Maybe it works.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

Edit: nevermind

Oh okay. So a random species? I see.

 

[jblank83]

Okie dokie then.

 

[Mighty Chin]

Clearly not Klingons.

New title: Unofficial first look at aliens of an unknown species in Star Trek Discovery

 

[gutter_trash]

WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR FACE

I understood that reference

 

[Mivey]

Kinda weird if they really have no hair.

New title: Unofficial first look at aliens of an unknown species in Star Trek Discovery

All the same, it's nice to see some set shots. If a mod could amend the title that'd be great.

 

[zeemumu]

Thought we saw Klingons in the 2nd one

 

[whiteninja]

Hopefully they are some offshoot or ancient or something. Gettting Abrams verse vibes from them. I think they evolved from sea creatures since Worf turned into one in that one episode.

I believe they are described as having crab-like exoskeletons by some people from the older shows.

EDIT: Oh, are you referring to Into Darkness?

 

[Stumpokapow]

Oh okay. So a random species? I see.

or an extra who doesn't want to get fired after accidentally leaking stuff lol

 

[SpaceWolf]

Edit: nevermind

Hanging out with your Klingon crew and you didn't know if they were Klingon or not? I refuse this hasty cover story.

I think it was Troi who devolved into a fish.

Such a horrible yet cheesy fun episode.

 

[Blues1990]

At least they didn't go with their Original Series look.

"We do not discuss recton's to outsiders."

 

[SpaceWolf]

"We do not discuss recton's to outsiders."

That episode was so well done.

 

[Escape Goat]

wat

those aren't Klingons

 

[antibolo]

Speaking of which what the fuck was up with the Klingons in Into Darkness?

I don't want to see that appearance again, ever.

God I hate this movie so much.

 

[CF_Fighter]

Did the Yuuzhan Vong leave their armor in the Trek galaxy?

 

[A-V-B]

wat

those aren't Klingons

For some reason I think they're gonna mate with the no-ridge Klingons, creating the Worf Klingons we see in next gen

Enterprise already explained the ridges.

There is almost nothing about this series that seems to be appealing anymore.

There was optimism. Once upon a time.

 

[SpaceWolf]

The cast seems great.

 

[A-V-B]

Enterprise already explained the ridges.

Oh, that explains it.

(I never saw Enterprise.)

 

[Dizzy-4U]

What are those posters Michael Dorn is signing on twitter? Is it a campaign to bring Worf to Discovery?

 

[lastplayed]

Enterprise already explained the ridges.

Wasn't it Data's fault?

 

[wonderful103]

Wasn't it Data's fault?

Noonian Soong's ancestor, Arik (played by Brent of course)

 

[Back-In-Black]

I hope those really aren't Klingons, looks terrible for Klingons.

 

[geomon]

They look like the Into Darkness Klingons, only more fucked up.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

The cast seems great.

True. But my initial thought is "I wonder how they're going to waste these guys."

I dunno. We'll see, I guess.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

There is almost nothing about this series that seems to be appealing anymore.

There was optimism. Once upon a time.

So far the casting seems fine, and beyond that we really know very little

 

[SpaceWolf]

True. But my initial thought is "I wonder how they're going to waste these guys."

I dunno. We'll see, I guess.

What has you so worried? I haven't been following production on this too closely.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

What are those posters Michael Dorn is signing on twitter? Is it a campaign to bring Worf to Discovery?

He needs to stop.

Worf's story is done.

 

[Busty]

I feel like there's more to this picture than just 'we're the new Klingons'. But if this is supposed to exist in the same time line as OS and TNG why would there be any difference in the look of the Klingons?

 

[Sectorseven]

Why are they in the Mos Eisley cantina?

It exists in the OS timeline, not the TNG one. And the Klingons ended up looking radically different in both shows.
