    These Klingons look like a departure from the Kelvin timeline Klingons from the reboot movies. Is Discovery really going to be another reboot? Must Hollywood reboot all the things?

    WHY DO THE KLINGONS LOOK SO DIFFERENT?! Please, please, please let this not be another pointless redesign of the entire people, but instead have a specific story reason for why this Klingon and all the others we’ve seen look so unlike any Klingons we’ve seen before…
