OMG! He critisized B5 now. I might as well lock this thread down now.
MOW, we have had many of these discussions in the past, but you weren't around for them. The fact is 'canon' is very subjective. Trying to base everything on whether it's canon or not is tough, because there are many inconsistancies within trek itself.
Klingons? TOS, Movies, or TNG? And not just the shipsets here. The Klingons themselves have changed radically over the years. Mnay die hard trek fans have tried to come up with ways to justify these changes. So what's the real explaination? Well, the authority would be Rodenberry himself wouldn't it? And he said the reason the Klingons in TOS and the movie Klingons looked different was simple. It was because he didn't have a big makeup budget with TOS.
You see, they aren't really klingons. They are people in makeup pretending to be klingons.
Let's just try to lighten up and not take this stuff so seriously ok MOW?
