[QUOTE]Originally posted by MrNeutron: [QB] Back during TNG's 3rd season I submitted a script to the show that dealt with the Klingons pretty head-on (pun intended). Unfortunately, my agent landed my script at the Star Trek offices right around the time Sins of the Father was being shot, and they went a different direction that my idea, so that was that. My take on it (this is long before old Klingons started showing up with bumpy heads) was that "Klingon" was the traditional name of the Warrior caste, and that anyone who was a Warrior of the Empire was a "Klingon". The guys we saw on TOS would have been humanoids whose part of the Empire most closely butted up against the Federation, and were thus the ones Kirk tended to encounter. In my script these guys were the ones who traded ships with the Romulans, which totally pissed off the "real" Klingons, who then reduced them to "subject" status and ground them down under the Empire's heel. Mind you, the script wasn't ABOUT this, but it was a subtext that came as the plot advanced and we met such subject races (think of Eastern Bloc countries) who were unwilling members of the Empire. (I was interested in the morality of being allies with a race of conquerors who most certainly ruled entire civilizations by force.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
