FWIW, what might have been but probably never really, etc.
The Klingons were always stand-ins for the Russians
In 1967, perhaps. The movie versions sort of took a step back from 1:1 interpretations. If anything, the Romulans are a better simile to the (Cold war/Soviet) Russians from a Western standpoint.
Echoing today, there was an unstable element in the Empire
Really, you look at contemporary Russia, and you think dissidents are the most obvious issue? Not oligarchy, state disinformation and war mongering?
TL;DR — don’t let Matalas anywhere near your favourite franchise.

My main reaction overall to the reveal was this iteration of Paramount ownership would have cancelled something that delved into these things as fast as it did the rest of the Trek slate.
Also, it’s slightly boggling that the fans who wanted this were hyped for Captain Seven (I think it’s fair to say), and the premise was going to be…nah, let’s do a Worf/Alexander/Klingon politics story? Who was asking for more Alexander stories?
Who was asking for more Alexander stories?
If there’s one thing I’m pretty confident Terry Matalas wants to do, it’s bang his old action figures together.
I guess I should have said “Who besides Terry Matalas was asking for more Alexander stories?” 😂
Alexander/Neelix/Jack Crusher teamup when
Neelix? This is the proposed Legacy show, next next generation.
Make that Alexander/Naomi Wildman/Jack Crusher…
Q brings Neelix to the Alpha Quadrant and the story is off and running.
