There is too many, in fact all of the TV series and movies are from starfleet POV. However nothing from the POV of Klingons as of yet. It would be nice to see something like Klingon first contact with other races or conflicts. Kinda like watching cold war from soviet POV.
Grinding for MkIV epic gear?

    much as every Trekkie/Trekker loves to think that the rest of the world embraces Klingons and their ideologies, well, they don't. Klingons are something of an acquired taste. (ask any vampire cloud :P )

    It really boils down to economics: how can TPTB consistently bring in new viewers to maintain numbers (lets face it, first generation Trekkies days are numbered) or even increase them? Until they feel they have a series concept that will be embraced by all, running a Klingon POV series is a risk.

    YMMV.

    Klingons are pretty one dimensional in terms of character development. If you try to make an entire ship of Worfs, then nobody is Worf.

    Well, there are already a few star trek kickstarter's films out there, someone or you might consider getting such a short movie make. :D

    Imaging around 10 short films are make each year, creating into a tv season yearly, that will be interesting.:o

    Not everyone would be a Worf. I'm sure one of them has room for love interests in their life.

    Yeah. There could be a Worf-like guy, a Kor-like guy, a Duras-style cowardly traitor who everyone hates who gets gutted by a hero at some point, and a really hot badass K'Ehlyr-type woman who sleeps with the Worf-analogue after beating the tar out of a bunch of baddies.

    It'd be fun.

    What about the Tarol type who finds honor in doing her job well?

    Oh, sure, if you want to miss out on the finer things of Klingon life, like blood, s*x, blood, opera, Shakespeare, epic poetry, blood, swords, fighting, and blood...

    :D

    The tale of a simple targherder, orphaned and living with his aunt and uncle, with dreams of one day joining the Klingon Defense Force in its ongoing fight against the evil Federation...whose life and destiny is forever changed when a talkative Android and his companion crash land on his planet looking for a reclusive Dahar Master.

    Heh, now THAT would be a SW ripoff that I'd actually WANT to see...

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.
