[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phelps: [QB] Here's another thing -- Kor may not be that old after all. The following statement by Odo in "Blood Oath" is neither too accurate nor serious, but certainly suggestive as I'll show later: "There's a drunk Klingon [Kor] in my holding cell who must be a hundred years old singing battle songs. Even his best friend [Koloth] who's probably a hundred and fifty years old won't have anything to do with him... so I get the pleasure of listening to his repertoire. "Kor! Dahar Master of the Klingons." An earlier script note does suggest that Koloth is somewhat older than Kor. Now, we also learn that Kor fought in the victorious battle of Klach D'kel Brakt against the Romulans, "almost a century ago". Later, when he's fighting the Albino, we get this script note about Kor: "And he's back at Klach D'Kel Brakt again... he's twenty again..." It really seems that the writer thought of Kor as being no more than 120 years old. So maybe he was 17 or so when he met Kirk at Organia, his greatest achievements still to come. In his own words, being a military governor was a bad position, and as far as we can tell, he didn't even have his own ship. If he'd scored a major victory once, then fallen out of favor, it would've been a while ago when he'd be too young, even for the possibly fast-aging Klingons. Hence, I think he was just a "Commander" Sisko type at Organia -- after all, how hard could it have been to govern that planet given what they knew about it -- and only later gained command of the Klothos, met Kang, and went on to fight his biggest battles until about 2289, when he'd meet Curzon during peace negotiations mentioned in "Blood Oath", likely the same as in "Star Trek III".
