Spare me. This kind of “what-if?” scenario is both meaningless and, IMHO, degrading and discriminatory. I’m as ardent a fan of Star Trek as the next guy (I have a photo from many years ago of myself shaking hands with Gene Rodenberry!) but this isn’t “Trekky-ism”, it’s just pure nonsense. You may as well speculate about a meeting between H.G. Wells and Daedalus.

1. First of all, these Klingon-language productions have been going on for quite a while, and they’re meant to be FOR FUN. Comedy. A linguistic joke. They’ve done several Klingon-language Shakespeare productions, IIRC.

2. Of course you can speculate on a meeting between H.G. Wells and Daedalus. Don’t read a lot of alternate-history science fiction, I can see that.

3. I’m not much into alt-history or historical crossovers myself; but if other people want to write it, that’s their privilege.

I think this is great fun.

“Worf was dead.” “Bah, Cyrilean-planet-ectro-bug!” “Everyone who goes about wishing a Merry Christmas should be buried with a Kling multi-blade battle sword through his heart!”

Actually, I hope someday to see a completely mime “A Christmas Carol.”

I saw it a couple weeks back; it was actually quite entertaining, though I’m still normal enough to have needed the supertitles to figure out what was going on. Before the show one of the troupe members mentioned that they had to have 4 new Klingon words minted to completely render all the lines. I don’t know what they were, but I suspect the translation of “Bah! Humbug!” (BaQa’) was one of them.

Oh, & I forgot:

So, what next? Khan as Fagin in a remake of Oliver!

[...] Hattip to Midwest Conservative Journal.  I enjoy Christmas traditions.  The Christmas Tree, singing Carols, wretched Illinois weather, hot coco, presents, watching several versions of A Christmas Carol, etc.  Perhaps the wildest version of a Christmas Carol is a Klingon adaptation of the timeless tale, presented, of course, in Klingonese.  The Wall Street Journal gives us the details: [...]

Next up: the LOLcat King Lear!

Knew a deacon once who wanted to read the Psalms with a Klingon flair. “Lord, SMITE my enemies!!”

And that was supposed to be “end sentence, return, smiley face.”

“Are there no dilithium crystal mines? No Gamesters of Triskelion shock collars??” Bah! Horta Monster!

Sorry…I know I can be obtuse.

I now shamefacedly admit that my first reaction was “But has this not been done already, in the ‘Next Generation’ episode where the clone of Kahless the Unforgettable encouraged the Klingon people to re-discover their true honour?”

I’ll get me coat…
