I absolutely love that in Deep Space Nine they had one episode where they go back in time to the TOS times with Worf in tow, they see Klingons there and acknowledge that they look significantly different.
They turned to Worf and said something in the lines of “Those are Klingons? They look so different! What happened?” And Worf just said “It’s embarrassing. We don’t like to talk about it”
That was the DS9 episode Trials and Tribble-ations (S5E6).
There was also a 3-part episode in ENT, offering some official explanation; Borderland / Cold Station 12 / The Augments (S4E4/5/6).
:)
I don’t like the actual explanation attempts. Everyone knows it’s a stylistic update. Playing it for laughs is the best thing you can do about it.
But the line “Even my pet targ won’t recognize me!” is pretty funny.
It’s not the best explanation but I thought it at least did a good job. The only real discrepancy was those ridgeless Klingons were supposed to be mildly augmented, but even Kirk was able to beat them with a double fist swing.
What i’d have loved to see is something from that era where they have TNG-ridged Klingons next to TOS ridgeless.
Is the embarrassment he speaks of the Disco phase of Klingons?
Or jarjar abrams’s attempt in his shitty remake of Wrath of Khan
That’s not James Webb, that’s Michael Dorn. smh

No go back. GO BACK
The voice modulation was so out of place with this Jayden.
