Watching Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places with Mango, and they declare it the horniest episode of DS9 so far. I lean over and say, "Well, you know why right? It was directed by Garak."

rightful heir is insane for the Implications. okay so there's this guy who was cloned from leftover DNA of the real kahless (with you so far) but also he's got fuzzy memories of being the real kahless implanted into his brain (?? okay...?) and he was just woken up/brought into existence at the exact moment the priest guys needed him to appear (when worf shows up, the main character of klingons) so this is really his first moment of being a person and he's In It, he's ready to GO right away. no learning how to walk, no confusion, no "hey guys what's been going on since i died", and he's ready to overthrow the current government DAY ONE. nope don't tell him anything, he already knows your chancellor sucks and the klingon spirit is corrupted. and he knows about worf's childhood moses moment where he/kahless appeared to worf to tell him to sparkle on it's worf wednesday my dude (very specific memory) but he can't remember details of his famous stories (are we saying his worf-related memories are real because worf really was the believer who brought his spirit back? mixed in with some good old fashioned priest cloning)

BUT he's a shit fighter. i mean he's not terrible but he's not mythical godlike warrior levels, so he does have some physical adjustment stumbling, but only when pressed. his weakness should have been like. learning how to digest solid food. not advanced combat. i mean don't get me wrong that's a very klingon weakness but it still raises a lot of questions. and kahless 2 has ZERO questions about this whole scheme until he loses to gowron in a fight. if we go with the Implications and assume this is the spirit of the real kahless dropped into his clone's body, the rest of this guy's whole deal is wild!!! he's just vibing! he's having spiritual awakenings certain human religious figures could only dream of achieving. even if we DON'T buy into the true reincarnation aspect, he's still the genetic clone of the klingon people's greatest hero with all the knowledge of the klingon religion in his head. like a factory made condensed klingon heritage all in one guy. which has gotta be a fun time for him (not really). his personality is Honor and his occupation is Faith. and he is technically a BABY.

and then worf is like "look idk if i believe in reincarnation (maybe haha) but i do believe in causing problems, let's see where he's going with this" and makes him a figurehead emperor. and of course by this point 2 fast 2 kahless is starting his "maybe i really am a fake" journey (which should've happened when he first heard someone sneeze and freaked out) so he just goes along with it. anyway. maybe the real kahless was the Implications we didn't fully explore along the way.

I want to see more Just Some Guy type Klingons in Star Trek. No actually, I DEMAND to see them!

I wanna see more Klingons that have NO ties to the Great Houses what so ever, of zero value to their gentry system.

It’s like how it took us forever to get introduced to Just Some Guy type Vulcan characters through Voyager (and hopefully maybe LWD season 3!)

Just like how not every single Vulcan is going to be borderline Vulcan royalty and/or a science expert, and/or a miracle Human hybrid with identity drama (I see you B’leanna & Spock)

Not every single Klingon is a warrior and we KNOW that because we’ve seen a few it’s just none of them have had any primary focus!

I love Worf and his story but I want the MORE and the OTHER of Klingon culture! I wanna see how Klingons of no political significance live their lives!

I demand to see more Klingon doctors who use combat as physical therapy!

Klingon botanists who engineer the flora of their homeworld to combat Qo’nos’s severe urban pollution!

Klingon linguistics experts who translate literary works from other cultures in their free time!

Give me Klingon monks on pilgrimages to outer worlds!

Give me Klingons who are warriors but whose careers aren’t defined by fighting!

Give me more normal ass Klingons like Kaga the Gagh Master! Klingons whose every action doesn’t cause major diplomatic implications to Klingon gentry/clan politics on the whole!

GIVE ME KLINGON PEASANTS STAR TREK

YOU COWARDS!!

"I want a prequel series or movie about Kahless and Lukara, or maybe a movie about Surak and the nuclear wars on Vulcan that followed."

Make It So Friday

There were two stories in this novel. Both about Kahless, just, different Kahlesses (Kahlessae?) One is set in the ‘heroic age’ about the real Kahless, and a story that sort of shows how he came to find and then be the flag bearer for Klingon honor. The other is set in ‘our’ time and follows the cloned Kahless, Captain Jean-Luc Picard, and Lieutenant Worf as they try to prevent a rebellion against the current Emperor.

Lots going on and, the plot did not pause to breathe at all. There was always something going on as the two different Kahlesses tried to save their Klingon Empire. Such an awesome read. And, also, one of the books that, as long as you know a little something about Star Trek The Next Generation, it can be read by Star Trek newbies and lifers alike.

I’m just going to leave this here.  I would normally give credit to the creator but I have no idea where I got this one.

As both cultures are obsessed with honour, I decided to combine them, and I present: Klingon Roku!

I know Zuko would have been more logical but he was hard to do so I did Roku instead.

Btw, those ridges come from Kahless, who I though was an appropriate Klingon counterpart to Roku.

Lore switching from Borg to Klingon…

Is that considered an upgrade?
