After all, Klingon ships are much more fun when populated with Klingons. “Sulu didn’t have any trouble figuring this out, and he didn’t even speak Klingon!”Įven the idea of touring a Klingon ship feels somewhat redundant. However, Sleeping Dogs feels a bit too much like treading water. While Enterprise never really explored the shift to the treacherous Klingons of Kirk’s era, except as a subplot in Divergence, the show would eventually figure out some new things to say about Klingons. I think the least interesting choice is to show them behaving in exactly the same way as they will in the 24th century, and I think we were a little guilty of that this season.” There are so many ways to go with the Klingons. Maybe they found the whole ‘honour’ thing wasn’t working for them. “They really seemed much more interested in glory and treachery than honour in those days. I don’t know about the smooth foreheads, but I’d be interested in finding out why the Klingons never talked about honour in all the years Kirk dealt with them,” Sussman posits. “The staff has talked about showing their evolution into the ‘smooth headed’ and more cutthroat Klingons of the TOS era. In an interview with The Star Trek Communicator after end of the show’s first season, writer Mike Sussman confessed that there was really little point on focusing on the Klingons if Enterprise had nothing new to say about them: However, we’ve spent so much time with Klingons in the various other Star Trek spin-off shows that using them as a light seasoning in a fairly stock Star Trek plot doesn’t make for a particularly appetising combination. The only real kink in Sleeping Dogs is that the aliens in question are Klingons. These are all stock elements, and they are mixed into Sleeping Dogs with a minimum of fuss.

Meanwhile, our captain tries to figure out how to communicate with an alien from a radically different culture, eventually coming to realise that he must address them on their terms. Our crew attempts a rescue mission, during which the away team end up stranded. The ship in question answers a distress call from an alien ship. Like Civilisation before it, it’s an episode of Star Trek constructed to a familiar formula. It’s not particularly good, it’s not particularly bad. There’s really very little to say about Sleeping Dogs. This January, we’re doing the first season. We have some special stuff planned for that, but – in the meantime – we’re reviewing all of Star Trek: Enterprise this year as something of a prequel to that anniversary.
