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.

    You should just repeat to yourself "It's just a show. I should probably just relax".

    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.
