[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] How many threads have we had about "missed opportunities" so far since Timelord registered? Just curious. In regards to the Klingon "problem": I don't care. I really don't. Why did Klingons have smooth heads in TOS? The simplest answer possible: the Klingon Empire altered its warriors who would have contact with the Federation to resemble Federation humans. Why? Who knows. Inferiority complex, a desire for humans to underestimate Klingons, maybe the Chancellor liked smooth heads over bumpy heads. But do we really need Worf to spell out, "Well, see, Chancellor Brauptak didn't like his bumps, so for forty years, all Klingon children had their bumps surgically removed. When Brauptak was murdered by his son, Humpitak, the practice was put to and end, and Klingons regained their bumps through surgery. My grandfather chose Mold #4, Varient #2, with the 'Dinosaur' pattern." C'mon. Use your imagination to decide why Klingons in TOS had smooth foreheads and in TNG/DS9 had bumpy foreheads. Ever since bumpy-headed Klingons popped up in TMP people have been wondering about this, and I don't see why we ever need a canonical explanation, or why people view it as a "missed opportunity." No, the "missed opportunity" was in not securing the budget in TOS to get-up the actors in ridge-forehead makeup as Gene Coon originally wanted. [/QB][/QUOTE]
