BTW: Look at the comments of that article.

This was Star Trek producer Heather Kadin and her "valuable" insight into Star Trek:

She's not wrong, even as allies the klingons were constantly looking for an excuse to go to war. They were always portrayed as a violent, dangerous species who the federation could never truly trust.

I was imagining the secret hideout as some literal place, like some bunker in the desert where Star Trek writers or ex-Transformers production staffers hole up to protect themselves from angry fans. And this lady spent 12 years in the bunker.

BTW: Look at the comments of that article.

No thanks. I'd rather have my finger slammed in a car door than waste my time reading inane crap from the dregs of internet society.

As for the Klingons? Yes, they are absolutely overused, to the point where they're now just unrecognizable prosthetic wearing alien thugs. But apparently the showrunners have learned their lesson, since now we're seeing neither hide nor tail of them.

Now she's gotta leave 5 more times, to keep pace with Kurtzman's firings

Sure, if you want to generalize Klingons and disregard “Judgment”, “Affliction”, ”Divergence”, TUC & “The Emissary” for Klingons that break the mold.

Indeed.

since now we're seeing neither hide nor tail of them.

Probably for the best. Discovery did well, but good grief did Berman era, even DS9, beat the Klingons in to the ground and made them completely unenjoyable.

So she leaves for a different job? So what?

 

[Lord Garth]

Turnover is a fact of Professional Life. Welcome to the Working World.

I’ve never stayed in a company for more than seven years. Due to some moves, some opportunities I couldn’t pass up and some poor career choices, I average about three years. Frankly, twelve years in this day and age is impressive.

 

[Vger23]

ZOMG it must mean Star Trek is done forever, everyone in the known universe hates it, and <insert other foolish assertion here>.

 

[plynch]

I did 30 years with one school district. Crazy. But I like stability and my small town on the shore of Lake Michigan.

 

[The Wormhole]

The only rational reaction to this is to have a Red Hour.

FESTIVAL!! FESTIVAL!!!

Oh, wait a minute, no one else cares? 'Kay, then I won't either

 

[Jayson1]

What's weird is it seems like she must have had a important role in making modern Trek but this is also the first time I even heard her name before. I guess I wish her luck in her future jobs.

Love it when people take a single sentence, with no context, and claim that sums up a person's job performance over years and years of work.

First year, I love a job. Second year, it's just a job. Third year, I hate it and want out.

But, more often than not, it's not just that. My job experience, skill set, and/or life circumstances also change after three or four years. So a job that made sense to have at the beginning, doesn't make much sense to still have towards the end.

They explain the intentions behind the new Klingon design.
These are supposed to be defensive Klingons, trying to protect their honor and their world. AKA Trump voter stand-ins.

"Star Trek: Discovery" creators: Our Klingons are secretly Trumpsters

The co-executive producer of the new series "Star Trek: Discovery" has told Rolling Stone that President Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign was "front and center in our minds" as they developed it — so much so that the rallying cry of the show's villains is specifically patterned after the Trumpster credo "Make America Great Again"

"We felt like it would be interesting to really look at what's going on in the United States," Aaron Harberts told Rolling Stone, noting that the series' primary villains — an extremist Klingon sect — scream "Remain Klingon," something deliberately reminiscent of "Make America Great Again."
