A note about episode discussions on startrek.website
Right now, the plan is to post the /c/startrek discussion when the episode drops on Thursdays. Once the global community has had some time to watch and digest what they’ve seen, the /c/daystrominstitute discussion will go live on Sundays for a more in-depth analysis. This is subject to change as we evaluate what works best for the community as a whole.
@LibraryLass ok, good point. I’d still like to see multiple races/species in the Klingon Empire.
The Romulan Empire at least had Remans
@FreezePeach @LibraryLass Klingon empire has other races until they flee. In ENT episode 2x19 Judgement Archer got into prison for helping them flee
I understood Klingons to be more of scorched earth imperialists
Yeah. I would also guess most of the Rura Penthe prisoners in The Undiscovered Country are from Klingon subject races.
I certainly would as well. (Actually I’m glad you mention Romulans as they provide another data point regarding this matter. The same individuals-- the Bird of Prey Commander and Sub-Commander-- at the same time-- the shared events of “Balance of Terror” and “A Quality of Mercy”-- show different variations of the Romulan makeup.)
