You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon
Then Christopher Plummer’s daughter Amanda with a wonderful villainous appearance in Picard!
I had never realized she was his daughter.
I need a Trek themed “mind exploding” gif for this.
Perfection.
You are a master at your craft.
Does anyone know how this joke came to be?
From Undiscovered Country
Why it was specifically used there, I couldn’t tell you.
I’m asking for a deeper origin of the joke.
Found it per wiki:
The film’s director Nicholas Meyer said the idea for having the Klingons claim Shakespeare as their own was based on Nazi Germany’s attempt to claim William Shakespeare as German before World War II.
Fascinating.
Why?
Iggy Poppy knocking it out of the park as a Vorta is why.
