Klingons Cut From Final Star Trek XI Movie
darthcamaro writes "Classic era trek was all about Kirk kicking the Klingons' tails. But the new Star Trek XI movie, the reboot, will not have any spoken Klingon in it — a travesty that has some fan sites up in arms already. 'We actually had a sequence that ended up getting cut from the movie that took place on Rura Penthe, in a Klingon prison,' Star Trek co-writer Alex Kurtzman said, explaining the deletion. 'And there was definitely Klingon spoken in the movie, and it ended up getting cut.' Frakkin' Federation ..."
As long as they don't replace the Klingons Gungans with Jamaican accents, we're cool! ;-)
Smooth heads or bumpy?

Argh - can't believe I just wrote that.
Funny how all of the swearing is following the BSG meme then. Frakking? Really? I would expect no less than a double dumbass on you!
"Get a life" in Klingon. Brilliant.
Hello, T-shirt!
I heard Tom Bombadil isn't even in this one!

Those growths are why the Klingons are called clit-heads, or vulva-faces. Without those features, the Klingons wouldn't have any personality or geek popularity at all.
3 things about computers: they're alive, they're self-aware, and they hate your guts.
If you really, really, wanted to piss somebody off, they should remake the Edith Keeler episode as a feature film, but change it in some way as to really just make Harlan Ellison flip out. Have his "great work" get butchered by TWO generations of film-makers, now that would be priceless.
This is my sig.
No kidding. Chewbacca always struck me as very dog-like with his speech. He was practically incapable of whispering, and it looked like it caused him great physical discomfort to hold his tongue. I'm sure he was a good friend to have in a pinch, but sometimes you don't need your friends gargling every half-formed thought that flashes through their brains.

That's totally ungrammatical. It is "yIn tItlhap". Leave the Klingon to people who know what they're talking about.
So it must have already happened, and it undid itself by resolving the paradox in four dimensions.
Fortunately, my username perfectly qualifies me to wear the shirt.
I don't believe in time. It's a grand conspiracy designed to sell watches.
You should just repeat to yourself "It's just a show. I should probably just relax".

And so, in winning, you've lost.
Yeah, but Gungans don't pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that.
"But this one goes to 11!"
Of course wouldn't the Klingon reply be "It is a good day to take yours."
Because the level of irony created in anyone wearing it would destroy time.
I heard the rumor that wearing it is forbidden within three miles of the Large Hadron Collider.

"...I should really just relax"
I miss that show.
There's a mild irony here. The one profession great concern for canon misspelled it (unless he meant to speak of large-bore projectile weapons), and the one professing unconcern for canon spelled, and used, it perfectly.
My inner pedant is smiling a smug satisfied smile.
Welcome to the Panopticon. Used to be a prison, now it's your home.
Now my inner pedant is scowling bitterly at my epic fail at word usage: s/profession/professing/
Damn. Now I have to find a way to make my inner pedant smile again.

They were already preparing to run because of the odor. Asking you about you t-shirt was just a way to pass time (and not pass out) before the elevator opened.
and middle america would think that you are a terrorist.
