New Star Trek show has modeled its Klingons on TRUMP supporters and 'racial purity is a big theme'
The London Daily Mail ^ | September 8, 2017 | Michelle Ganney

The show-runners of the highly anticipated new CBS Star Trek series have said their Klingons will symbolize Trump supporters in modern America.

Released on September 24th, Star Trek: Discovery will continue the show's time-honored practice of mirroring the contemporary world in a futuristic setting.

The story, set 10-years before William Shatner's Captain Kirk, will focus on the fractious early relations between the United Federation of Planets and the aggressive Klingon Empire.

However, the new update could prove controversial, with fans of the 1960s show remembering the Klingons and Federation war as an allegory for the Cold War clash of civilizations between the Soviet Union and freedom loving United States....

Well, my prediction here was close.

And if they think I'm going to pay to have a bunch of fictitious characters condemn me for voting for Trump, they're in for a major disappointment.

The creators and producer software ST the various movies and series have left gaps in the story continuum. I am interested in knowing about the crew and the developments during those gaps. this new series fills another time void. I will always watch for the story. It is the epic sooty of my entertainment life.

Those of you who are insulted by a homosexual crew member or whatever are conservative snowflakes. Please don’t tell me someone is shoving it downpour throat. That conjures up a whole lot of images.

if you don’t like the series fine. if you don’t watch then how do you have an opinion. you’re like those people who come onto a thread about a celebrity and post “who?”

TOS is the opposite of TNG which TAS was not WOK. DS9 and ENT were OK, SFS sucked, GEN was boring but FCT was amazing.

I appreciate your openness, but I don’t want to take you away from the important information you will obtain by paying for the privilege to watch Star Trek.
