Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Redeems Klingons After 27 Years

Klingons are likely the most well-known alien race in Star Trek, but their portrayal hasn’t been consistent over the years. While they were established as strong adversaries in Star Trek: The Original Series and the films from the 1980s, it was the character of Lieutenant Worf (played by Michael Dorn) in Star Trek: The Next Generation who really brought the depth of Klingon culture – particularly their focus on honor and warrior traditions – to life.
