    I am confused by the choice to have the Klingons look like the redesign. This is TOS era so surely they should look like TOS era Klingons, no?

    Gene always said that TOS Klingons would have had ridges the whole time if they’d had the budget for more elaborate makeup. Kor, Kang, and Koloth had the redesign. There’s no proof that anyone outside of a handful in that Enterprise arc ever lost their ridges-- and would you really put it past the Klingons to lethally enforce a quarantine?

      Good point about the Klingons enforcing a quarantine with force.

      I’m pretty okay with just accepting it as a design change, I only bring it up because they previously tried to explain it.
