Why not?
Forget Enterprise , and Trials and Tribulations.
How about some animators go back and slap some ridges on the klingon heads? We still have our classic version.
It would wrap up the whole issue. Roddenberry wanted them done up but couldnt afford it. Wonder what his original visual idea was other than "Swarthy". . . .can't remeber.
Own YOUR Moment !
The way I understand it John Colicos basically invented the Klingon's look.
Lore has it Roddenberry let him help design what a Klingon should look like - and it remained the same until The Motion Picture.

Hmmmm....
I dunno. I'm a "warts and all" kinda guy, so I don't like monkeying with stuff like this. They're fine the way they are, and there's no sense encouraging Paramount to relase ANOTHER set of disks.... "Completely restored to the originals".... so's to soak the fans AGAIN in the future.
Besides; you're NOT gonna fool the kids into thinking it's new.

Sure, I'd like to see the OS Klingons ridged up someday, but I always simply try to imagine them like that anyhow whenever I watch the show. Works pretty well!
Wasn't too sure about Enterprise trying to explain it all via the augment virus storyline... that all just seemed contrived.
I always remember seeing TMP for the first time as a kid and thinking how cool and menacing the new Klingons looked.

Dunno that one. (I didn't watch Enterprise so much.) The original story was that they were engineered Klingon/Human hybrids: the Klingons did it so's they could fight better in human-normal environments. (There were supposedly Klingon/Romulan ones too.)

Don, that's the first I've heard that rationale, but it's the BEST IDEA so far..Originally Posted by ctc

Leave the old school Klingons alone.
I mean it.
Don't make me sharpen my Bat'leth.....
Enterprise explained it all perfectly well (with the virus), so no need to start painting ridges on John Colicos....
The old Klingon's were better because they were basically the Hell's Angels of the galaxy.
Once they were give weird heads, it ruined their original personalities

Old school Klingons seemed a bit more...educated.
The new Klingons are more about meat and mayhem....
That was the rational they used in the role playing game. With the little model ships Fasa I believe. They had a whole 4 year war military history. More military theme to Star Fleet too. What they figured the logical progression to the series would have been. The Movie and STNG threw that all out the window. None of it was considered Cannon.Don, that's the first I've heard that rationale, but it's the BEST IDEA so far..
