[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 7991804, member: 18182"] Love it or not, that's cool, but try to look at some of the changes with a more open mind. The Klingons from Discovery Season 1 definitely have a new aesthetic and were definitely one of the controversial elements of the show. But, um, it certainly isn't the first time the Klingons got a redesign, and its relatively mild compared to the first one! I would agree that the Klingon's looked different (physicality, costumes, ships), but I feel that they very much acted like Klingons. And in Discovery Season 2, the Klingons all decided to grow their hair back out, and looked pretty darn close to Next Gen Klingons at that point. After some time, the biggest differences were hairstyles (or the lack thereof), clothing styles, and ship designs. In Picard, we were not really seeing a redesign of the Romulans, but rather corners of Romulan culture we had never seen before. Most of the Romulan fun prior to Picard was Warbirds staffed by angry Romulans with serious shoulder pads, now we are getting a look at Romulan civilian/refugee life, a religious monastery/assassin order, and a secret police within the secret police. The changes were additive, rather than transforming. And ultimately, that's how I view most, if not all, of the changes in new-Trek so far. They aren't reimaginings or reboots, but expansions on existing lore. Which I love! Of course, reboot or expansion is independent of whether you personally care for the changes or not. I find it's easier to enjoy new shows based on old franchises if you relax about things being changed, rebooted, expanded, or lacking a tight adherence to the minutiae of continuity. As long as the new show is fun, pushes the franchise in new directions, and respects what came before . . . . which I think new-Trek very much does . . . . I'm happy! [/QUOTE]
