"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I don't understand why the ST people didn't just go with the explanation I had always assumed when Worf had ridges and the old school Klingons did not:

that all Klingons don't look the same and that some Klingons have ridges while some don't.

I mean fuck. Does it have to be that complicated?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Alien species are more homogenous than Earth species. It's a science fiction rule.

Just like alien planets are more homogenous than most Earth countries.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Does it have to be that complicated?

No, but the problem was they brought Kang, Kor, and Koloth, all of whom had fought Kirk, to DS9 with ridges. It was a paradox just begging for a retcon.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Hell, it could be a Klingon disease? I mean retcon is fine...but I want it to make some semblance of sense.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The lack of ridges is caused by a disease. Unfortunately, the cure and the vaccination also eliminate them.

Just bring back Patrick Stewart and John de Lancie and they can pretend the whole Enterprise series was one of Picard alternate time jumps from All Good Things....

I haven't seen any episodes of Enterprise, but I may have to watch the finale for this.

Now that would be a good idea. Of course anything with PS and JdeL is a good idea imho.
