[QUOTE]Originally posted by mrneutron: [QB] Regarding mixing human looking Klingons with the modern turtle-head variety, they could take the tack I did with a script I submitted (through an agent even) to TNG in 1989. The story was about several "subject planets" who decide to rebel and withdraw from the Klingon Empire. One of these planets had an old Klingon Battlecruiser... I answered the whole bumpy/smooth issue as follows, when the commander of a rogue Klingon battlecruiser is brought aboard the Enterprise... INT. ENTERPRISE - TRANSPORTER ROOM (OPTICAL) Worf, still in dress uniform, watches the transporter as COMMANDER KAGH materializes. Kagh wears a klingon-esque uniform. Worf's expression sours. WORF (under his breath) tlhInganqoq. KAGH Is it Starfleet protocol to greet representatives of foreign governments with curses? Worf takes a step towards Kagh. They size each other up. KAGH (smooth but insulting) A Klingon in Starfleet. How the mighty have fallen. WORF You dare to wear the traditional uniform of the cha'DIch tlhIngan? You are forbidden to wear the uniform or use the name. KAGH And what are you to tell us who we are and what name we may use? WORF When you were stripped of warrior status you lost your fleet as well. How did you get a warship? KAGH You did not manage to confiscate all our weapons, Klingon. We have hidden away many such things. (he smiles insultingly) But enough of this amusing banter. Where is your commander? In a later scene, Kagh explained something of his history to Picard and Co.: KAGH In the case of my people, the Klingons simply seized control of our system. At first they found us useful... made us warriors. We were the cha'DIch tlhIngan, the "Second Klingons." Worf gets a disgusted expression on his face at that. KAGH (oily smile at Picard) We fought many battles... some with your Starfleet. (glares at Worf) Later, the Klingons turned on us. We did nothing to deserve this. WORF Nothing? You established relations with the Romulans and gave them advanced warp technology! KAGH And the Empire profited, because in return we obtained the secret to the Romulan cloaking device! ...At which point Riker interrupted... So, my idea was that "Klingon" was a caste name...that anyone who is a warrior of that culture is Klingon, and a certain group of swarthy bushy eyebrowed humanoids were once that, but they screwed up in the eyes of their superiors and were "demoted" to subject status. By a quirk of bad luck, I submitted my script right after the time that "Sins of the Father" was in production, and that script went in different directions than mine, especially where Klingon history was concerned. :( They could go this way on Enterprise...except that they brought back TOS Klingons on DS9 and made them bumpy, so that screwed that up.
