New photos from EW

I'm filing a lawsuit for the horrible stress I underwent thinking those things might be in Star Trek.

Sounds reasonable.

I just noticed that T’Kuvma has some sort of mek'leth or something hanging from his belt. I hope we get to see him use it.

I like these designs. Honors the old look while making them look more like extraterrestrials rather than dudes with makeup in their foreheads.

I agree.

What would benefit DSC from maintaining the status quo of designs?

Well....it would force the 15% of the hardcore fan base who are all up in arms to wet their pants about something else.

I can't say I'm all that impressed with these new Klingons. Whoever the costume designer is needs to lay off the bling entirely.

But at least they don't look like that guy from Voyager who looked like an actual turd.

At least they are a semi-interesting alien species, with some version of culture, vs. the Tak-Tak (shudders) or Kazon (yeah, Delta Klingons) or even the Tellarites.

Sontar Ha! Sontar Ha! Sontar Ha!

I never noticed that before, but those Voyager guys, do look Sontarans.

As for the Discover Klingons, I like them. I think there's enough familiar elements to make them recognizable as Klingons, but with new elements that make them feel more alien.

Jon Pertwee did consider the Draconians the best looking aliens seen during his term on Doctor Who.

I think it will go better when we see them in action, rather than just stills that can be picked apart to death, autopsied and fluroscoped.

It does amaze me at times how much different things can look in still images and in motion.

 

[Captain of the USS Averof]

That's because in still images you can actually notice all the little details. Which can be a very bad thing in some cases.

 

[Bry_Sinclair]

The more I see of the new Klingons the more I dislike them.

 

[Reanok]

I don't like the new Klingons design reboot. After seeing the new pictures I think they should've kept the design of the klingons make up and what look from the TNG era instead.

Still looking a little sea monster-ish, but not fussed. I like the pointed ears, a la the Kelvin timeline Klingons (which had the BEST costuming ever, although the DSC guys are obviously dressed to impress rather than to kick in some intergalactic interlopers)

Dressed to impress the royal court of the virgin Queen Elizabeth I (1533–1603) apparently.

I just noticed those boots. They should have modeled them after Gene Simmons' DESTROYER boots rather than Ace's, but that's just me.
Seriously, though, the costumes are not convincing as the garb of a warrior culture. We're seeing pageantry rather than utilitarian armor. I guess when they said they will take cues from GoT they meant literally. At least we know the Dothraki Klingon house won't use gold the same way.
