Someone's rather strong opinion sure did change.
They're free to do what they want, but I liked the TNG redesign of the Klingons. I like how they retconned it to fit with the TOS. This new design still has them looking very humanoid, so it's done nothing to address that issue in my opinion. Plus they haven't felt the need to redesign any other major races like the Vulcans. They probably already specified it somewhere and I missed it, but it's looking more and more like this Star Trek will take place in the new timeline universe created by the new movies and.....eh. The first one was decent, but the other two were less my thing.
They could probably get away with it for one of the less important aliens, like Bolians, Tholians, Horta or something, but Klingons are a big part of Star Trek and most people seem to like their TNG-and-on design. Hopefully the rest of the show is still good. It's not make-or-break for me, just disappointing.
