STAR TREK: TOS “The Way To Eden” (1969)
STAR TREK: SNW “The Broken Circle” (2023)
Star Trek has never known exactly what Klingons look like, until now (maybe)
Apart from the benevolent pointy-eared Vulcans, there’s no fictional alien species more iconic than the Klingons — not only in Star Trek, but in pop culture at large. The spacefaring warriors have evolved over half a century from generic Cold War antagonists into a complicated and spiritual culture that evokes both medieval Vikings and feudal samurai. There is a complete, functional Klingon language studied and spoken by fans around the world, who routinely don the familiar armor and forehead ridges at fan conventions. Most people who are even casually familiar with Star Trek would recognize a Klingon should one pass by on the street (perhaps in Las Vegas, this or any August), and even applaud the remarkable accuracy of their makeup and attire.
In one memorable Star Trek: the Next Generation episode, barkeep Guinan, usually reserved, kept the peace by pulling a rifle out from behind the bar and shooting it into the air.
This prop was originally from a “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century” episode, “The Hand of Goral.” It was given a sandy paint job to look more “alien” and exotic.
Khan!!!, the musical

the USS Resolute, NCC-92317
Star Trek: Resurgence is entertaining so far; nice engineering room on the USS Resolute also.
