[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] In one of the Final Frontier books, Peter David (through Mackenzie Calhoun) makes an apt observation about the differences between the TOS and the TNG Klingons & Romulans. He states that during the TOS period, Klingons were honorless, narrow-minded thugs whose lot in life was to just cause trouble for the Federation. On the other hand, TOS Romulans were a very honorable, traditional people even though they were adversaries. However, in TNG, those roles were inextricably reversed for the two races. On another interesting note, When Star Trek III was in production, Leonard Nimoy wanted to abandon the new Klingon look shown in TMP in favor of returning to the Original Series look. The motivation being that the latex bumpy foreheads wouldn't work well glued to an actor's face (sigh...). Someone else even wanted to change the Klingon species entirely to humanoids evolved from crustaceans. However, apparently the "bumpy head" look won out in the end. [/QB][/QUOTE]
