One thing I really appreciate about #StarTrekEnterprise is it giving us Klingon characters outside the warrior caste. J.G. Hertzler plays Advocate Kolos in "Judgment", and John Schuck plays healer Antaak in a 3-episode arc. Some really outstanding world-building, not to mention great performances.

Happy birthday to John Schuck, the Klingon Ambassador in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home & Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Parn in Deep Space Nine's "The Maquis, Part II," a chorus member on Voyager ("Muse"), and Antaak on Enterprise ("Affliction," "Divergence").

Anyone decrying woke is a culturally illiterate reactionary who doesn’t actually understand Trek. Dr. Antaak on the Enterprise series was a Klingon doctor. So a young Klingon Medical student hardly violates canon. 🖖

Definitely not the first one; the most obvious example is Antaak in Enterprise as a Klingon with blonde hair, but even before that, e.g. Gorkon in Star Trek VI is not any darker skinned than Kirk when we see him in a properly lit set.

John Schuck, who played transgender Miami city councilman Gil Kessler, was also two different Klingons and a Cardassian, and made an appearance on Voyager too.

Two of the Klingon actors are well known as other Klingons elsewhere in Trek.
The Klingon prisoner at the start is Marc Worden. He was the oldest version of Worf's son Alexander.
Dr Antaak was played by John Shuck - well known as the Klingon Ambassador in Voyage Home & Undiscovered Country.

I said a Klingon attending Starfleet Academy isn't as ridiculous as toxic fandom might have you believe.
I surmise the Klingon Empire not only has scientists:
They are GREAT scientists — who have been doing science for four centuries before meeting humanity in glorious combat.

Ten thousand apologies! I forgot about Antaak. I love the idea of Klingons scientists defending their thesis. "Lowly Peta'Q! Your research is a sham and your conclusions are not evidence based or peer reviewed! Shame on your house!"

That Instagram is misinformed, clearly. Antaak and Kurak are two Klingon scientists.

The people that wrote that article haven't watched Star Trek enough. Honestly, neither have the current writers but I digress.
There have been several Klingons who weren't warrior types. Advocate Kolos, Chancellor Gorkon, Antaak, Valkris, etc. Plus, it's 1000 years in the future. Things change.

We can dream. Although I wouldn't be surprised if Antaak is mentioned.

This between Antaak and Phlox
"You stole it!"
"Medical research isn't a priority for the High Council – I am forced to obtain information however I can."
"That doesn't sound very honorable."
"Given the choice between honor and saving lives, I choose the latter."

Enterprise s4 ep16 Divergence thoughts:
That’s a neat little trick
Trip works better on Enterprise
Doctor Antaak is great
Malcolm needs to get his shit together
Stand your ground Phlox
I don’t trust him either, Archer
Sneaky trick from Phlox
Sure Trip. Temporarily

He's not the first non warrior Klingon we've seen, and I think all the better for that.
Ignoring the guy that runs the Klingon restaurant on DS9 what about Kurak who was an expert in the field of subspace morphology in TNG (Suspicions)?
Korath the scientist in Endgame (VOY)? Antaak? Colonel Worf?!
