SPOILER WARNING: The link below and the text beneath the jump contains spoilers for the upcoming film Star Trek Into Darkness.

Yahoo! is at it again, and it turns out that the new Star Trek film is going to be featuring some familiar faces–and no, we’re not talking about who Benedict Cumberbatch is playing, either.

Spoilers after the jump!

Maltz

J.J. Abrams isn’t completely close-mouthed when it comes to spilling the secrets of the upcoming Star Trek sequel, as Yahoo! just reported today that Abrams has let us know that we will be seeing our old Klingon friends in the new movie. Though scenes with Klingons were originally cut from the 2009 Star Trek reboot (scenes that reportedly had Nero spending part of the twenty-five years between his arrival in the alternate timeline and Spock’s arrival as a Klingon prisoner), they seem to be to stay in the new film, possibly as an integral part of the movie.

I’m fairly excited, though there are some questions that I’m curious about. What are these Klingons going to look like? Are we going to get TOS Klingons with smooth foreheads or are we going to ignore Enterprise’s rather clumsy retconning and stick with Worf’s statement that “We do not speak of it?” What are new versions of Klingon vessels going to look like? How much is Shane going to complain when he sees revamped Klingon ship design?

And as for other questions, if Yahoo! was going to use a quote in Klingon for their headline, why “Maltz, jol yIchu!”? (Maltz, beam us up!) More specifically, why a line from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock? If you’re going to be geeky enough to use a line in Klingon as part of your article, have enough self-respect to use one from Star Trek VI and quote Shakespeare in the original Klingon.
