Ok, out comes my total ST geek side:

I remember reading in the ST roleplaying game (blush) by FASA waayyy back in the 80's something about the Kirk era klingons being a human-klingon genetifc fusion to allow better combat vs. humans (understanding human thought psyche, and strategies I guess). Well that was their way of whitewashing the inescapable reality that Gene just didn't have enough cash for good makeup.

Why is it that hardcore Trekkies have to explain everything? Like when Kirk and the boys were flying back and forth on the bridge. Didn't TNG 'explain' this as some kind of inertial damper failure when the real reason was that in 1966 it just looked cool and made the ship look like it was being attacked.
I am a diehard old Trek fan but it boggles my mind how anyone could whine about things being "non-canon". Heck anything after TOS could be considered non-cannon. It's just a TV show for crying out loud.

Dave, it's just one of the many unexplainable mysteries of the physical world. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Actually this is what I heard about the klingons:

Early klingons used midget slaves to design and construct everything. Consequently kirk Era klingon ships had very low hanging doorways. The klingons, being of normal height would constantly bash into these doorways, thus smoothing out their doorways. Eventually the klingons got tired of the romulans making jokes about it and redesigned all their ships to correct specifications.

On a sad note, all the klingon midgets were slaughtered for their misdoings.

I'll be updating the TNG Mod site later this evening with some fun tidbits of information in regards to some new things I've come up with.

Stay tuned.
