Klingon Opera: Redefining Culture?

The emergence of an entirely original opera in Klingon, along with recent translations of Shakespeare and the Bible into Klingon, may be forcing us to question whether this has moved beyond fan obsession and into something more significant.

    • You know, Remanns, I hadn't even considered the relationship between Vikings and Klingons...

      Toyotabedzrock - Where Esperanto failed, maybe Klingon can succeed (lol)

      24French - That's a great quote. It's something I haven't had a chance to think all the way through, but I was wondering why the warrior race (Klingons) have such a massive following, yet the the philosophers (Vulcans) don't have quite the same culture adoption. Maybe that's not too hard a question to answer...

    • Didn't someone once say "I have seen the Klingons, and they are us." And we will write operas in their language, and we will build models of their spaceships, and we will note their physical morphs (now they have flesh-laced foreheads; now they don't), and yet still they will not exist. Except in our minds and hearts.
