Star Trek: Discovery

Could be a Klingon/Ferengi.

Well, the Federation President's a Cardassian-Human.
I can't wait to see/am dreading what the future Klingons will look like. It feels like they were avoided in s3 intentionally. Adding hair was a huge positive already in s2, and I hope things continue to progress positively.

I wonder why some of the redesigns are 'necessary'

[Anodyne]

My DVR was running out of space, so I deleted the unwatched episodes.

While I certainly wouldn't have minded if they had went with the look the make up had settled on in the TNG films and in DS9 but I'm okay with wanting a more alien look which has always been what has driven the Klingon make up to change over the years.

That's fine. I don't dislike this redesign so far. I just wasn't big on the DSC Klingon redesign

I'm beginning to feel like Klingons are just the attack dogs of some hidden race, and every generation or so the 'hidden masters' introduce some upgrades to their genome that makes them even more effective attack dogs. Redundant organs. Improved (bright magenta) blood. Extra bone deposits and ridges for padding/armoring.

And the Klingons just sort of roll with the fact that they have to update their artwork and statues every generation, since their faces keep changing...

That wouldn't be a terrible story per say, but I'd rather stick just accepting that the changes are due artistic choices behind the scenes, it's less convoluted that way.

The other HD era makeup glowups worked fine and in keeping with what we've known before. The Tellarites, Andorians, Cardassians, etc. were good... but the Klingon redesign was a bridge too far. And the good thing about the Ferengi is that we know they've got many sizes and shapes of lobes, so this one can just be an anomaly should TPTB choose to go with something more traditional yet still HD-ready later. Even if not, I'm OK with it.
The real question is whether or not the Ferengi have completely reformed their financial-based society in the past millennium or if they've reverted after the Burn.

Maybe he's the descendant of Quark and Grilka.

I'd like to see a Ferengi society that's progressed somewhat

hmmmm, usually when I do this about a show, record them then delete them for another series on DVR, it means my subconscious has told me a long time ago, I had no heavy interest in the show in the first place

Unfortunately Discovery is not one of those shows, that feels like a must see.

Kind of wonder what the Klingons are up to in both PICARD and DISCOVERY, especially since the Romulans have lost their planet.

Klingons were nominally at peace with the Federation during the previous era in the timeline, so I imagine they're not actively antagonizing the Romulans but not welcoming them either

[ChrisIII]

STO (although I don't think it's canon) and I think some of the possible alternate futures do kind of state that the Klingons went to war with the Federation again.

[nx01a]

The Klingons are supposed to join the Federation by the battle of Procyon V. Maybe they've struck out on their own empire-building again after the Burn... or even before.
