I'm ashamed to admit I actually saw this show (hey, my son likes it!)
The Teen Angel did not speak actual Klingon. I thought I heard the
sound /jatlh/ in there, but for the most part, it sounded like
'bo-jak dajak jak'. From context, he should have been saying
something like /'ej tlhIngan Hol DajatlhlaH/. There was definitely
nothing sounding like /tlhIngan Hol/ in what he said.
