Star Trek : Discovery ’s Klingons were widely disliked during seasons 1 and 2 , as the prequelreinvented the Klingons ' intention to be bald-headed , more exotic , and animalistic , setting the stage for the Klingon War with the United Federation of Planets . ByStar Trek : Discoveryseason 2 , L’Rell had risen to become the Klingon Chancellor , andDiscoverybegan slow shifting the Klingons ' look toward the more democratic 24th - century aim .
Mary Chieffo joinedStar Trek : Enterprise ’s Dominic Keatingand Connor Trinner on their Modern podcast , The D - Con Chamber , for a far - ranging conversation about her career and part as L’Rell onStar Trek : Discovery . discuss the methodological analysis she used to create the dialect specific toStar Trek : Discovery ’s version of the Klingons , Chieffo delve into the Klingons ' and L’Rell ’s backstory , which helps to excuse whyDiscovery ’s Klingons were different . take her quote and watchThe D - Con Chambervideo below :
In the way we were verbalize the [ Klingon ] language , because we were verbalize it more than any Klingon had in the past times , we were really diving into , also , an unswayed edition of the voice communication . Because at that point , timeline - wise , there was a moment in Enterprise , manifestly - the pilot , ripe ? [ Where Enterprise met Klingons.]But since then , the idea was that there had been no contact . Or , throughout whatever y’ all exprienced on Enterprise , once you had your experience , then nothing until this compass point .
I loved the idea , in particular with T’Kuvma , thatthey were kind of this ancient sect of Klingon houses , and that we were also kind of the outcasts . For L’Rell , as is disclosed , I fuck a good expositional line , when I do begin speaking English , I ’ve captured Lorca , and I say , ‘ I ’m descended from spy ’ . That ’s why I know English really well . ( laughs ) But I did bed that House Mo’Kai , which is my mother ’s side of the family , is a house of spies , is one of the few female - led Klingon sign , and I bang that they were undercover agent because , in a lot of ways , that was the way these woman were able to function in this patriarchal Klingon society . Because the Klingon public is still much more partriarchal than the utopian Federation .
The Klingons have been an integral part of Star Trek for almost 60 years , so why did it take nearly 24 years to visit their home world , Qo’noS ?
