<As a touchstone, we looked to John Ford’s THE FINAL REFLECTION which
was a work really used as a launching-off point for the Klingons by
Bryan Fuller.
There is Klingon text on the steps [inside the ship], we have a lot of
ritual torches and sarcophagi and glyphs, and other details. For
example, [one section of] the Klingon text… was all carefully
researched and taken from transcripts from THE FINAL REFLECTION, and
we made sure that we had accurate Klingon translation.
This one, says [speaks Klingon to audience] which reads: “‘I will go
now to Sto’vo’kor, but I promise one day I will return.’ Then Kahless
pointed to a star in the sky and said, look for me there, in that
point of light.”
Which is a big promise from Kahless! ...
This got into details like the game of Klin zha from THE FINAL
REFLECTION, a game that warlords play against each other as a teaching
game to teach military strategy… and bloodwine cups, which even have
text on them — translated in this case to “May Your Blood Scream.”>
Was the "point of light" thing from John Ford? I thought it was from
the TNG Rightful Heir. (Or did TNG get it from Ford?)
Also, we may finally see klin zha become canon on screen.
I know I'll be watching for the {'IwlIj jachjaj} on the bloodwine cups.
