Klingon foreheads resolved on ENT

[Cougar 0]

Anyone hear about the Klingon foreheads being resolved on ENT? I am surprise to see that it has not been menitoned here. On every star trek board I visited, that has been a topic of discussion. You can view info at startrek.com on the message boards. There's a link to TrekWeb which has it. I'll be back later to supply the link unless someone else can.

Worf said its something they just dont like to talk about.....I respect that :o

There may be a connection with the temporary smooth foreheaded Klingons and the weapon that was launched at a Klingon colony in the Augment arc. I've heard this theory mentioned mentioned on some boards.

 

That could explain Kor's forehead change from no-ridge to ridge from TOS to DS9, if they are supposed to be the same guy.

But then how do you explain Khaless who lived a long time before the discovery of humans and had ridges (We know he had ridges because his clone did) and yet he had a smooth forehead in TOS on a planet nowhere near the Empire?

 

Instead of saying it was personal and they don't talk about it I think it would have been funnier if Worf said something like "Budget cutbacks at the studio" and the other people at the table just nod and start talking about something else. :o

I had that question as well, until someone at startrekfans.net suggested that the alien that brought Kahless used the images and information in Kirk and Spock's mind to create the representation of him.

 

Made sense to me, but yeah, we all know the real reason about the ridges, but I'm happy that Enterprise is coming up with a way to explain it in the show.

 

Score more points for Enterprise!

I can already see it coming.

well humans aren't the only ones with flat foreheads

maybe they wanted kahless clone to look more klingon so they genetically engineered him

What I think happened, was something happened after the 22nd Century that made them lose the forehead then the virus left after the 23rd Century.
