#this will never cease to fascinate me. #diary #trek #one thing about klingons thats underrated is that i didnt really understand how the children of tama ended up speaking the way they do #but i can see how that might happen now with all this- stylization- oh we're not gonna go into it in the opera because everybody #is familiar with that story. points thats sooo darmok of you #that klingon idiom that talks about being an idiot and you fully have to know the story of the fool and the wind to get why it's worded #the way that it is.
