In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

At the very least, it'll be fun to watch the Narada tear through a fleet of Klingons. :twisted:

And see what the Klingons do in a Wolf 359 like situation.
They say that in the Army,
the women are mighty fine.
They look like Phyllis Diller,
and walk like Frankenstein.

It really is similar. I imagine they'll get clobbered, like the Federation did at Wolf.

Will the vaunted Klingon honor come into play.....like Worf getting ready to ram the cube with Defiant? Or will they scatter and run?

I was just wondering if they'd do a suicide run or not. :)

Now, I'm wondering whether we'll have the ridge-headed Klingons, or the TOS Kilngons... :?

Well, canonically, it's operational in that era... But, they might give us a new class, or re-imagining of the old ships.

The window thing doesn't really bother me either. Its not like its glass. And I think the Kelvin looks really cool. Better than most ships in Trekverse.
How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

Yeah the Kelvin looks ok, but I'm not overally fond of the design yet I want to see it in action before I say I like or dislike.

If by "in action", you mean, "get blown to smithereens", we only have 48 days to go before we see it. :)

Well we've got this tantalizing picture. Judging by the Klingons' face masks, it appears that they are ridged. Interestingly, the ridge pattern looks reminiscent of the Klingons from TMP.

Huh. Looks like they're wearing some kind of helms.
