No Star Trek alien has undergone as many changes as the Klingons. From villain to hero, which series do you think has the best Klingon design?
I gotta go with TNG! Worf is THE Klingon to beat.
I’ve always felt like the TOS Film / TNG design is what I think of what established the design. I felt the departures in the Kelvin and STD were too extreme.
1979 through TNG era. Doesn’t look over the top, still looks alien and fierce.
I will say that the Klingon helmets used in the first Abrams movies were cool though.
Yeah, they were cool.
The helmets bothered me. I mean they look really cool, but I remember being surprised and taken aback in the theatre. In my head, Klingons either survive a battle and are honored by their victory, or they die in battle and are honored by their death. Having a helmet, to me, undermines their whole warrior culture. Kinda seems silly now that I’m writing it out, but still, I had a strong reaction to those helmets…
Klingons don’t talk about that time and why they required helmets 😉

The similarities between alien species are explained in the TNG episode “The Chase” stating that life in the galaxy was seeded by a race of aliens with similar characteristics.

Didn’t Klingons evolve from spiders?
I have never heard that before. But I’d like to see that info.
I opened the episode, he is more of a predator type thing. Barcley is the spider. It’s been awhile.

lol, you’re ignoring the thing that explains the thing you say is unexplained….

Age also plays a role in this. For 30 years we had a solid design for Klingons. Changing that felt wrong to the fan base. The design is cool.

As long as it is written well it can work.
