lionowlonao3:mkkstartrek:sci-fi-gifs:Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)“I offer a toast… The undiscovered country, the future.”Actually, I liked this scene and the two Klingons/actors, but this particular line always bothers me. So now I can vent: I would have much preferred it if he had simply said “You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in Klingon.” (Possibly true!) Why the “original” Klingon? Surely they were aware that Shakespeare was a 16th century human playwright. maybe shakespeare was a klingon who for whatever reason was disguised as a human as similar and could pass as a human and got stranded on earth in the 16th century… maybe? or some similar story? we know from ds9 klingons had starships long before thenwouldn’t that be a plot twist for bashir and garak’s literature discussionsone of the first things i never knew about star trek was this line. i didn’t know a single blessed thing about the enterprise or captain kirk or picard or sisko or janeway or god knows who else but i did know, word for word, this line in which it is implied that the most famous 16th century british playwright is actually a klingon. -- source link
