No mention of Prune juice Warriors drink

think that was just worf.

Lol

Haha, I loved that moment in Star Trek.

[@colinp2238]

We don't talk about that.

[@ironclad452]

This is why the Abramsverse and STD aren't cutting it. There is such a rich history in this universe that there's no reason to alter it. You've made me love Star Trek all the more. Great work on these history videos!

[@NoobFish23]

Tribbles, the 3rd greatest foe of the Empire!

[@Trekspertise]

+Andrew Halverson The Klingons never really developed an extermination industry.

[@mikiroony]

Must have been a sight to see, the great war against them.

[@BoYcLuE]

"Do they still sing songs about 'The Great Tribble Hunt'?"

[@stevejoshua9536]

. . . and how the dreaded Tribble scream would curdle the blood of the strongest Klingon Warrior ?

[@ellieplays1651]

Can you show me the Clinton board school for neck ministry school Klingons

[@PtrOBrn]

Love the scene from trials and tribble-ations "Those are Klingons?" and they all look to Worf.

[@tonywhite9873]

One of Worf's forefathers was a lawyer.

[@codeoptimizationware2803]

@@tonywhite9873 : That was Worf's grandfather (also played by Michael Dorn), who defended Kirk and McCoy in a Klingon Court where they were charged with the heinous assassination of Chancellor Gorkon, the acting Klingon Ambassador during the United Federation of Planets/Klingon Empire peace accords (in _Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country_ [1991]).

[@MrTaxiRob]

@@codeoptimizationware2803 was he killed on Khitomer?

[@franceslambert8070]

@@MrTaxiRob No, he was killed on board his ship after he and his party had dinner on board Enterprise. It was Chan. Gorkons daughter who was almost killed at Kitomer.

[@jamespurcer3730]

LOL!

[@mbe102]

One of the best series on KZbin, bar none.

[@Trekspertise]

The Stry Show Thanks :) I'm certainly a fan. You should check out my other channel ;)

[@autumnhomer9786]

Stadium ARTs I agree 😻😻

[@madrustytiger]

I laughed when I saw the list of aliens who are mean to Klingons, tribbles, tiny fluff balls, and they hate em

[@HamanKarn567]

The Klingons are awesome. Will you ever do a history of The Cardassians or Romulans?

[@Trekspertise]

Haman Karn I will, indeed :)

[@HamanKarn567]

That will be awesome. I know it may not be the popular opinion but Cardassians are my favorite Aliens in Star Trek lol

[@andrewdonnellycolt9920]

Trekspertise Yes please!

[@Farlas816]

If you do a history of the Romulans, can you at least mention the Romulan Republic that is formed in Star Trek Online, or will you only talk about things shown in the shows?

[@easygrin1127]

It also seems like the Romulans are physically stronger than the klingons

[@SKNKAnimations]

What an awesome two-parter series. Editing told a visual story. Writing was smart and well researched. Narration was clear and drew me in! Absolutely heroic, Trekspertise!

[@campbria4225]

You know an interesting video might be to compare Star Trek canon history with real world human history. But this is still beautifully awesome.

[@Trekspertise]

It is on the list, believe it or not. Such a big list...

[@vincentadultman8527]

Trekspertise Please stay awesome.

[@RandomSime]

I was just thinking about how Praxis = Chernobyl, following on the Cold War theme of Klingons being Russian proxies. I just realised Praxis is a proxy Chernobyl! And then of course the Khitomer accords and peace between the Klingon Empire and UFP resembles the political climate following the end of the Cold War.

[@gardiner_bryant]

You should do a history of Guinan and the El-aurians.

[@neglectoid]

@Richard Ball good, i hated guinan.

[@PureLimbic]

Gotta love Gowron's bug-eyes...

[@CaptApril123]

He was great! The actor took that character so far over the top, he was a joy to watch. Gowron is probably my favorite Klingon, smart, sexy and just dripping with cynicism.

[@floydharper4653]

Gowron is never less than entertaining

[@meicheljorden8886]

if i had an own tv channel, this would run as a serious documentary, good job.

[@robinburt5735]

Aww.. I wished you showed the Trials and Tribblations bit with Worf mentioning about Klingons looking mostly like humans "We don't like to talk about it"

[@kimberly6663]

Great video as always. Great editing. Must be kinda fun skimming through episodes to find the most dynamic bit of a scene to include as a visual. Klingon soldiers marching in a group, a slow pan up to Chancellor Gorkon, Romulan ship uncloaking to join the fleet with the Federation and Klingons--all really neat-looking.

[@Trekspertise]

Kimberly Thanks! Editing is pretty important, I believe! Sometimes it is fun. Sometimes, it meticulous work.

[@dextrodemon]

i like how in star trek they provide in-universe explanations for things like the early blurred lines between romulan and klingon and them decided to change how klingons look later on and all that.

[@leespitzer9997]

11:21 The grey area of HelloInternetDom. Tip of the hat to CGPGrey. Love it.

[@Trekspertise]

More than a tip-of-the-hat...a whole region of space =) Maybe they will discuss it on spaceship corner.

[@endingpop]

Hi Tim!

[@Gorkon1987]

I caught it out of the corner of my eye but didn't want to stop the video to verify. Then proceeded to pull star charts to make sure it wasn't something I'd missed. Always glad to find one of my favorite creators is a fellow Tim.

[@mattwarmka1703]

Finally. I've been waiting for this one.

[@setojurai]

Dammit, is there nothing you're not involved in Walpole? :P

[@oiman5733]

Sir Robert Walpole Why did Klingons fight the Federation? It was WALPOLE

[@mattwarmka1703]

Q ain't got a thing on me.

[@connarcomstock161]

Robert Walpole was trying to destabilize the Federation economy with poisoned grain, for his own benefit. He'd sold shares on Organia, it's a thing.

[@jacenstarhunter8988]

I love all types of Sci Fi, so I'm happy to find this, thank you so much, all the people behind this video, Live long and Prosper. :)

The Klingon from the pilot episode of Enterprise was played by Tom "Tiny" Lister Jr. He is best known for playing Deebo in Friday, and as the wrestler Zeus in No Holds Barred starring Hulk Hogan.

[@jameslawhorn6096]

i enjoyed this very much thank you for the work done to bring this to light!!!

[@pomazzzz]

Thank you for the awesome video! Hope you'll keep making these :)

[@PCIZ503]

I love your new-ish neon aesthetic. In a video essay, it's more than a cheeky sign post of key points and transitions. Instantaneously recognizable and memorable, you've brought neon's original use back into focus. How wonderful that a medium shift, (dragging along all the trappings, such as sound effects,) revived the initial purpose of neon. Your essays are great, diving into Trek lore is great, your workmanship is great, but thanks especially for this odd little tidbit to chew on. It has me wondering: what other passe pop culture tools can find renewed life online? The video essay is the perfect testing ground.

[@noneone8726]

If something is worth doing at all, it is worth doing correctly. The chances of species from hundreds of different galaxies and planets all being able to use the exact same gravity and the exact same breathing atmosphere are a trillion to one. Every species uses speech to communicate, eyes to see with? Everyone has two eyes, two arms, two ears, two legs. Yeah, that's highly likely. Rather than use CGI to create logically credible aliens, let's treat the audience as if they were retarded children, and make every alien into a humanoid. Just slap on some cheap rubber bullshit mask and a dollar store halloween costume, no one will notice! After all, we are stupid, lazy, greedy and disrespectful. The only important rule in Hollywood is GET PAID--- so we can snort more co>caine while fuck>ing little boys up the as>shole. Why create SF that reflects LOGIC? It is all about the MONEY, so we can take more dr>ugs, and ra?pe more little boys. SF fans are worthless mindless weak sheep scum. They will eat up any dogshit we shovel out. , ,, They will eat up any dogsh:it we shovel out. They will eat up any dogshi:t we shovel out. They will eat up any dogs"hit we shovel out. SF fans are worthless mindless weak sheep scum. Let's ra:pe them for every penny they have. Paramount Executive: SCIENCE fiction? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! "Science", oh god, I can't stop laughing, pass me the coca:ine, and get me a fresh boy to r"ape...............Science!...... AS IF!......gag, chuckle................ . . . Oh, "its just a TV show?" No, it is MONEY and hours of your limited life you can never get back. I love that the actress who played the Big Tit:s Empath character has gone public about how STUPID and irrational and pointless and shitty her role was. , Genuinely good SF takes an unusual premise, then extrapolates LOCICALLY, in a linear fashion, to tell a story that answers "what if" in a manner that does not insult the intelligence of the audience. _ Why does this matter? Because every trailer trash retard can hold up Star Trek and say "That them there "science stuff" about evolution and Covid is just LIES, look at how DUMB "science" is" YOU are the reason SF su"cks. You keep eating the dogsh"it, making things bad for everyone. Oh, "its just a TV show?" No, it is MONEY and hours of your limited life you can never get back. You are making stupid, dishonest evil people RICH
