This is a Klingon quilt I made for a friend a few years back. This is one of my favorite Klingon quilts I have made.

How I'd fix Star Trek Into Darkness

Yeah, I know what you're thinking, you'd be surprised to see this coming from who is arguably the biggest CumberKhan apologist on the face of the Earth. I even call him my schmoopsie-poo and I made a whole backstory explaining why he looks Like That™, it’s pretty damn tearjerking.

But do you know what I also love as much as Benedict's Khan? Klingons. Yeah, I love Klingons so much.

I found this on the TVTropes YMMV page for the movie, and if the big hats had actually gone through with this back in 2013, I wouldn't have minded because I'm crazy for Klingons. Plus, it would spare me three years of sadness and heartbreak. (if you've been following the #vengekhan tag on this blog, then you'd know why)

So, here's how I'd fix the movie:

Basically, Admiral Marcus and co. are a bit smarter than how they're presented in the actual movie, and they actually decide to put the transwarp technology made by Scotty to good use and just beam a bunch of bombs to the enemy's home planet and sit back and relax as they are wiped out. And as a result, the Klingons get mad-mad and dispatch Koloth(portrayed by Benedict) and his beloved IKS Qugh(which is tlhIngan Hol for "disaster"), the finest battleship the Empire has to offer, to investigate! (diabolical laughter)

Koloth and the Qugh get into conflict w/ Kirk and co. and the Enterprise, and after a buncha epic space battles, the Qugh is soundly beaten by the Entewpwise in classic David VS Goliath fashion. But hey, Koloth ain't mad at all! He's impressed by Kirk and co.'s tenacity, and they decide to go all enemy mine to find out who beamed those bombs to Qo'noS and eventually find out Marcus is responsible and Scotty finds out his technology took a huge part in all this.

After learning Scotty's "transwarp transporter" technology ultimately led to Section 31 launching that attack on Qo'noS, Koloth gets mad (for real this time) and tries to execute Scotty with a mean-looking bat'leth, only for Uhura to stop him and they have a nice long talk (in tlhIngan Hol, of course) and I have no idea what happens next because I'm a shit writer. Just know that this "fixed" movie will be just as Spirky as what the big hats gave us, with a side of McCarol and Uhotty and at least one "please, captain, not in front of the Klingons" moment.

The Tricorder Transmissions : A Star Trek Podcast Network

DiscoTrek #22: Character Deep-Dive / L'Rell

I was on the podcast DiscoTrek to discuss L’Rell and her journey, motivations, and complexity. I got to talk about what draws me to Klingon women, my issues with the finale and with Tyler’s memories, and my all consuming love for Katrina and CornRell. It’s a great discussion (warning for spoilers and reference to sexual assault) and it’s endorsed by Mary herself:

Throw back Tuesday. I made this quilt about 7 years ago

Dear World,

I'm thrilled to announce that it's time to embark on another quilting adventure! This time, I'm planning to create a baby quilt with a Star Trek theme. I would love to hear your ideas and suggestions for this project!

While you're brainstorming, here’s a quilt I made previously for inspiration. Looking forward to your creative thoughts!

Good Monday Morning world. Here are a couple Star Trek Klingon quilts I made. Few years back. These are handquilted.

OK, so in my opinion, the best issues of Star Trek Year Five was #13 and #14, hands down, just because they had Klingons in them.

Let's start with the Dev Vo'Qul, their leader. I mean, he's an agent of Klingon justice, which already makes him a badass.

I love him so damn much.

And the whole Gauntlet Of Kahless trial? Just...no words. It contained just the right amount of Klingon brutality that I would dread to be on the receiving end of, which is basically me saying that it was perfect.

And they're not wrong about the tribbles either—those little critters are so cute and lovable but they're also absolute menaces that should only be deployed in warfare. Once they start multiplying, they're virtually unstoppable.

What the Dev said right there is roughly "I'd rather die than live in a world where I can't kick your ass.", which is one of my favorite quotes. Sorry, I'm just so delighted that I don't even know what I'm saying.

So, in conclusion:

🎶Klingons are better than people,

L'Rell, why is life so hard?🎶
