$$$ Spoilers for the Preview for "Sleeping Dogs"

I need to hunt down and download a copy of the "Sleeping Dogs" promo that aired tonight. My eyes might be deceiving me, but I think that we are going to see to a new design for a Klingon ship.

Yup... new scout ship. I've gotten my hands on an .mov file from http://www.outpost6.com but I can't grab from that too easily. Best I can describe it is as a cross between a BoP and a Vor'cha.

Well, I managed to take one shot of it, but I don't have a place to put it online...

Not a very animal-looking ship, this one. The wings are quite unlike bird wings, the bow is an angular monstrosity quite unlike a head, and the posture doesn't indicate crouching for attack or speeding through air or anything. Well, at least the wings have feather patterns.

No obvious weapon ports, although the bow has lots of greeblings. Is that an honest window there, instead of a forward viewscreen? The warp nacelles aren't very Klingonlike - the Jem'Hadar might sue for copyright (and then you die).

The targ is nowhere as cute as the "Where No One" version (let alone Molly's dolly), but a nice touch anyway. Are those kept for food, as pets, for hunting, for guarding...?

The cook must be out of uniform - we can barely see the cleavage. And Hoshi, Reed and T'Pol have mastered the fine art of sitting up when unconscious, later demonstrated by Kirk and pals in "Spock's Brain" (and pioneered by Mr Bean in "The Ultimate Disaster Movie"). Is that underwear regulation color? Shouldn't Reed wear red?

They're not quite unconscious... they're in the decon chamber, trying hard to sit in the pose the director told them to sit in.

Oh, yeah. The sickbay screenshot with the Klingon woman. Is that a gun, and if so, one we have seen before?

It looks like the business end of the standard ENT plasma rifle, which we have seen before a few times. And that is a modification of the Jem'Hadar rifle, which we saw quite a few times, too. And THAT was modified from the Hunter rifle of DS9 "Captive Pursuit", which in turn was built on a weapon used in a variety of TNG eps.

Frankly, the current version looks like a glue gun to me.

I've already tried my hand at diagramming the rifle, based on the Jem'Hadar one:



. . . although for some reason I missed the forward pistol grip. Problem is, I didn't have a lot to work with when I did it as we'd never seen it very clearly (see my page http://www.leenet.demon.co.uk/phaser/2150/class3.htm for an idea of the available images I had at the time). I now have some more images to add to the page (including these ones, if that's OK?), when I get round to it. . .

I thought it looked like a grease gun. I like that ship.

Regarding the "cuteness" of the targ... Perhaps they're more like dogs than we'd think. Look at the variation between, say, a Chihuahua and a great Dane. Or a Doberman pinscher and a shih tzu.

...or those beasties on the Klingon ship aren't Targs. Maybe more closely-related to Kruge's little K'orthos in TSFS.

Or Kruge's beast was also a Targ, going with the dog-theory.

At the risk of turning this post into another starship thread, it looks like Eaves' cable-stayed motif has indeed cropped up on this scout (you can see the cables in the close-up of the aft end). I wonder if the battlecruiser design from the magazine will also turn up?

Hopefully, since at least it would help tie together this design and the other known Klingon vessels. So far, the similarity isn't that striking.

On the same vein, perhaps we could also see the evolutionary steps that led to the classic Klingon Bird of Prey, again a design that was quite dissimilar from the previously established Klingon vessels. Something with inboard warp engines and wingtip weapons, at least.
