What's daily life like for the average Klingon on Q'onoS?

They often have other professions too. Like the lawyer one when Worf blew up the civilian ship, or the exobiologist that turned out to be a spy working with the Romulans.

If you consider Grilka to be a "normal" non-military Klingon it's obvious average Klingons are a lot more civilized than their reputation suggests. All the stuff about honor killing and dying etc are taken as more of a symbolic thing than reality.

Going out on a limb: 99.99999% of Klingons never kill a person in their lives.

lots of gay singing

How the fuck did Kingons develop warp?

They're more of a Russian/Japanese stereotype than black.

They survived an alien invasion during their pre-warp days. Then they scavenged the alien technology and developed warp drive from it.
>yfw there is a Klingon "Independence Day" movie that could be made and would be pure kino

they developed warp before the vulcans kek

A fist fight for every cold coffe you receive

That's the episode where quark has to explain economic warfare to the klingon high council

youtube.com/watch?v=Q65l7RHUx2A

That shows how far removed the Warrior caste Klingons are from a scarcity society. They've forgotten what an economy looks like.

Although tbf there are plenty of humans living today who could benefit from the same talk.

Trek in its purest form.

Also reminder about the lawyer from ENT who pointed out that the hyper militaristic government and warrior culture was more of a recent development and that while prior to it Klingons had a strong warrior ethos most were normal people doing normal professions. Pic related's parents were a biologist and a schoolteacher.

>Dem Hur'q

shame that all the stuff about them is in shit-tier novels and worse...STO

So the neets larping into warriors become more and more cultural significant and then their offspring sperg out all the race into the modern violent Klingons
Pure and truly kino

I always loved how quark pointed out how Farengi warfare was much more civilized since it was mostly bloodless and based around finance.

The Ferengi definitely have their strengths but they have their own cultural problems

youtube.com/watch?v=Fuzh6RT0wx8

That's kind of a parallel to the Samurai in Japan who were just normal generals and fighters during times of actual war, but when peace times came they got overly obsessed with honor and abstract ideas of dying the right way.

Pretty much, yes.
They also start causing problems for the Klingon Society out of their ignorance in science and technology, and you get the explosion of Praxis.

Trek hasn't fleshed it out enough yet, but there is a good arc ready for the Klingons to have a mass awakening about how they've been taking life for granted.

Oh I didn't mean to suggest they weren't fucked up. Nog's character arc was always surprisingly kino. If a competent person ever gets the ability to make a show again having nog as a lieutenant or a recurring captain/admiral would be great.

It seems like they're becoming more and more techno-barbarian over time. It wouldn't surprise me if eventually they became largely ignorant of their own technology's inner workings leading to a large scale crisis of finding enough Klingon engineers/scientists.

And most of the women as well. Shocking that they ever made it into space since it's implied they look down on scientists. I guess they are clever enough to utilize the tech the scientists produce at least.

The actor who played Nog is dead, user....

In one episode of DS9 we heard a snippet of a Klingon science vessel's log where the captain spoke of winning battles against ignorance, and bringing home vast spoils in the form of new knowledge.

I think the best part of DS9 was taking "enemy" races and making them main characters like Quark and Garak. TNG arguably started it with Worf but Voyager dropped the ball. They should have had a Romulan Maquis that was pretending to be a Vulcan at first. Would have made for some great moments with Tuvok.

Alternatively, they're dumb enough that scientists just kept a step ahead of them, carrot and stick style

Even the lawyer in went about his case like a warrior fighting a battle.

Most of the times the whole no Klingon worth of a name is a scientist only appears in connection to Klingons, when humans expecting Klingons to act this way - sometimes getting disabused of the notion. Every other time it is:

I'M COLONEL LAWYER WORF. I'M HERE TO DEFEND MY CLIENT IN AN HONORABLE LEGAL BATTLE FOR THE EMPIRE.

In the DS9 episode "By Inferno's Light", Worf is forced to fight several Jem'Hadar in a row, all brutal hand-to-hand fights to the death. Bashir treats his injuries between each fight as best as he can, and Martok vows to write songs about both Worf's combat prowess and Bashir, "the healer who bound the warrior's wounds so he could fight again!"

Membership in the staff of a Klingon Great House also seems to convey a certain measure of prestige and respect; Worf's childhood nurse once reflects sadly, but a bit boastfully, on how she was a servant of a proud and strong family, and a Klingon woman vying for control over her house seems to take the advice of her majordomo seriously (he in turn being a social intermediary between her and others, and a general face for the House's standing).

In the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "The Augments" a Klingon doctor and medical researcher finds a cure for a bioweapon that is being used dishonorably by his superior. He considers himself being executed for delivering the cure to be equivalent to a warrior sacrificing himself to win a great battle. The idea seems to make him very happy.

The video game Birth of the Federation indicates that Klingon blacksmiths are held in high regard, as without weapons, there is no war.
Worf's grandfather (also named Worf), seen in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, was himself a lawyer, and according to the Expanded Universe gained numerous ranks and honors through his legal acumen. (He's a colonel in the film; novels mention he attained the rank of General through his legal kickassery.)

DS9 features a Klingon restaurant where the owner will play the concertina at patrons. Aggressively.

As are others....

God I want good trek back.

Klingons are a passionate species
Whatever they think is the hypest shit they dive into 100%
Klingons seem to think honor is the shit
However at any point in time it could change to science or the arts

I miss this nigga like you wouldn't believe

Don’t think about it too much, Klingon lore is made to order depending on the needs of a given episode so it’s really not that well thought out.

>Klingon painters and art critics going at it over the nuances of brushwork
GOD I WANT GOOD TREK BACK

The Klingons have decades of characterization and time to be fleshed out in detail. It's usually other species that are much more dysfunctional than the Klingons when you think about it.

Do you remember any Ferengi scientist, engineer, or warrior who has ever taken with respect? From where did they get the Warp engines?

wait, what if there is a secret shadow goverment of klingon scientist?

they buy them

Peeing on each other with their double penises.

Remember that the Klingon Intelligence Agency exist.

Nog says that they bought their first warp drive.

>"invading this piece of dirt 50m down will be most honorable!"
>klingons strike their largest oil reservoir

Presumably scientist was a high paying position? As far as warriors go they seemed woefully inept when they had to rescue Moogi but to be fair none of them were soldiers (except that one psychopath). I imagine a lot of alien contract work fills out the less desirable tasks of Ferengi society. At the same time, Quark himself ran a bar and restaurant and had numerous Ferengi employees.

I've always wondered how exactly did Klingons ever become a spacefaring race when they're so warlike and aggressive, to the point of it actually being utterly retarded? It's something that I've always wondered.

I want a trek series about the various intelligence agencies (Tal'Shiar, Obsidian, etc) duking it out Bond style.

It's mentioned in the show. Ferengi are notable for having purchased their first warp engines, rather than developing them like most other cultures.

Remember, Kirk is a Klingon. That's the only rational explanation.

SeeThey used to be much more normal. Coming into contact with numerous and occasionally hostile aliens probably sharpened their warrior obsession.

I've been meaning to rewatch VI. I think it's probably my second favorite out of the TOS movies but I need to give it another watch to be sure.

>They used to be much more normal. Coming into contact with numerous and occasionally hostile aliens probably sharpened their warrior obsession.
I haven't gotten to ENT, but huh. Usually it's the other way around.

I want a miniseries about Illuminati klingon scientist controling the houses for centuries without they even know it

Had forgotten about Leck. He didn't even care about profit that much. He just loved killing.

Not the same, but I want a tv show about The Chase/Indiana Jones-style archaeological races and political intrigue. It'd be fun.

I like to think some peaceful race gave them warp tech without realizing the consequences

Honestly that would be an excellent plot focus for that kind of spy series. They'd probably even be working with Klingon intel assuming the latter is at all competant.
