Except we know that somehow they get over that in the future. What if the Federation had greatly improved upon clocking technology the whole time and then the moment those protections expired could basically move around the galaxy freely at will? :-P (yet probably still choose not to, for that reason;-)
Like, I don’t recall ever so much as seeing or even hearing of a Klingon scientist, ever:-P.
There are many Klingon scientists, they just end up being part of a different caste than the warriors who are mostly seen on ships. Kurak was a warp field specialist, Korath was a scientist who invented the chronodeflector used in Voyager’s finale, J’Dan (while also a spy) was an exobiologist, Antaak was a physician and researcher of metagenics. To say the Klingons had no scientists is just incorrect.
Typical anti-Klingon racism of humans. Remember how Riker had to meet Klingons to find out they were capable of laughter when Klingons laugh all the time?
You would think that they would get at least some credit - like the person who invented cloaking technology gets 1/1000th of every kill that is made that is directly attributable to the use of the technology.
Except that makes way too much sense for Klingons to do it - they are the bad guys hence they are anti-science, unlike us now… oh no we are so in trouble.
Yeah I can’t remember if that ever directly came up but there’s definitely mentions of how non-warrior-caste Klingons are basically second class citizens
At some point Picard visited Qo’noS, the homeworld (“Sins of the Father”), but I seem to recall it giving surprisingly little information about it, except seeing like an old woman in a cloak so a non-warrior peasant.
Even here on earth there are similar effects - e.g. most Indians I have ever met speak somewhat more propa bri’ish English than I do here (am American), but this is like the 1% top elite that travel here, whereas if I were to travel there, the number of people who speak English passably may drop dramatically.
Similarly, most of what we know of Klingon society, directly from the shows anyway, is heavily biased towards the nobility - e.g. “House of”.
I really want a show about the lives of normal people on all the different planets in the trekverse now. Like a lower decks but for more than just Starfleet.

Haha right, it seems like every Klingon that isn’t worf laughs all the time. Not even subtly, like full on deep belly laughs.
Worf is such a weeb
klingaboo
I didn’t say that they did not exist, just that I did not recall them - apparently I have a very poor memory;-)…uh…what was I saying again? ;-P
Anyway, thank you for the nice list of them, it does help.
Haha yeah that’s fine, they really don’t show up that often so it’s not that surprising you forgot them.

I doubt that it would ever be done… by Hollywood, but fanfics could pick up the slack!:-)
