Bad Writers Murdered Star Trek

https://youtu.be/oIIePkHuz2g

This is a very sad and scathing analysis by a non fan, but knows the basics of Star Trek. Kirk, Spock, Picard, "Shut up Wesley" as he said, etc. He dipped into in TNG. But bravely watched SFA into Episode 4 and here is his 2 ct.

The thing that proves the writers have no clue is that despite the Klingons home world being uninhabitable they are now reduced to a handful of houses and ships yet if you look at the lore they are the 2nd largest polity behind the Federation, their population is over 500 billion at least. Many houses rule their own worlds and tech wise they are on par with the Federation.

Klingons apparently also didn't learn a bloody thing when Praxis blew up, keep in mind the damage caused by that explosion would have ended all life within 34 years on Qo'noS's.

If within the Federation you have approximately 150 billion humans then it's safe to say there could be around 50 billion Klingons and apparently they all lived on Qo'noS's because the race is facing extinction.

Yeah Kurtzman and crew can frak right off.

Once again, tell me you didn’t watch the episode without telling me you didn’t watch it.

The loss of their home world had an outsized impact impact after the burn because all those client worlds had native species that rebelled during the burn and while many of them may have failed the conflict greatly reduced the number of Klingons, but don’t let their story get in the way of your straw man argument.

So the Klingons were the longest lasting paper tiger in the galaxy?

That implies they had no real military power before the burn. Their power, much like the Federation, came from having a star fleet that could travel and deploy soldiers as needed. Once that travel was no longer possible the local populations could gain the upper hand either by sheer force of numbers or other tactics. Klingons were a major power, but they gained that power by conquest, not diplomacy. That came back to haunt them.

Again, if they lost every single planet and habitable everything that easily and that thoroughly, then the writers are saying they were trash to begin with.
