[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] [QUOTE] Klingons have always had ridges, but they developed them at middle age. Kor, Koloth, and Kang were fairly young (30s) and so were their crews. In the 2260s/70s, they engineered a battle class that had ridges from birth, and that's what we saw in TNG. Of course, now Enterprise shows youngish Klingons with ridges, so it's all shot to shit. But it's an interesting historical note, and I'd like to know just what explanation the DS9 staff came up with afterall. [/QUOTE]A 'battle class' turns into the whole Klingon Species - and even the original klingons decide to become 'battle class' members themselves - seems even more far fetched. Plus Enterprise wasn't the only one to show young klingons with ridges (when did that happen by the way?) We've got Alexander and the 'kids' from "Birthright". Little B'Elanna. SP? Duras' son. Pretty good cross section of the community. I still think it's a whole fashion thing... maybe even a Klingon navy fashion thing - like the Sailors on Earth wearing bell-bottoms!! :) Want to join the Klingon Fleet - you must sand down your ridges. This is an embarrasing thing - and probably quite unhealthy. Maybe they wanted to 'look' like Humans - as a fashion craze. Instead Kang going into the barber for a "Rachael" he gets a ridge-sanding! :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
