Ron Moore Reflects on Being Dubbed Star Trek’s “True Father of Klingons”
Moore expressed his satisfaction with the title, stating, “I claim it proudly.” He explained that it wasn’t a planned achievement but rather an unexpected opportunity. It started as a single Klingon episode assignment from Michael Piller. After completing that, he was asked to do another Klingon show, and eventually, he took on the role of a cultural anthropologist in the Klingon Empire, referring to himself as its ‘Margaret Mead.’
