Someone mentioned upthread that this season was going to be attempting to repair canon....even to the point of explaining Klingon physiology.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Ah, so instead of "High School Is Hell" the theme of the season will be "We're sorry, Trekkies—PLEASE come back!"

I read they're actually going to do an episode explaining that this season.
Somehow, this pisses me off more. Probably because there's almost no way I can conceive of them doing this that isn't going to be half-(or quarter) assed.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
So, due to a lot of you, I'm catching up on BSG. I resented and disliked the mini because of Firefly fallout. And also, the original show was part of my halcyon days of tv-watching, back before I HAD critical faculties. I mean, Starbuck pretty! Hey the helmets look like pharaoh's headdresses! Ooo, that brown velvet sure goes nice with Starbuck's shiny hair, Apollo's pretty eyes, and Boomer's--everything. I really loved the triumvirate of Starbuck, Apollo and Boomer. One scene (the ep with the Barillian Nomen--however you spell that) of a tandem quickdraw, one righty, one lefty, in the same breath--ooooo.
And this new remake was messing with all that (That the old show was crap was irrelevant, because a lot of tv back then was crap, and almost ALL sf tv was, so we took what we could get--uphill, both ways--and were grateful for it). I mean Apollo is now Lee? This is a hero's name? And my Kinsey may not be where it used to be, but I'm sorry, Boomer and Starbuck were yummy--girls now, nsm.
But you guys keep talking, and I tend to listen, and I love Eddie Olmos and Mary McDonnell, and well, curious. So I'm watching, and trying to catch up, and trying to give it a chance. And tonight I'm all into it, and I realize...
...Man, the music! They're ripping off Firefly's music! The Indian-influence stuff. Yeah, it suits, but still. Mad again now.
Still watching, though.

Well, Enterprise also mucked up the Klingons in that "T&T" established that, yes, the Klingons used to look like TOS Klingons (one of the great throaway jokes in that ep - "We do not speak of it!"), and then Enterprise has to go and use the current Klingon makeup. Feh.
Actually, my own personal fanwank (which occured pre-Enterprise) accounts for that. I figured that the whole galaxy succumbed to some sort of Bad Fashion virus, which, for the Klingons, resulted in a bizarre plastic surgery fetish.

Strawberry disappointment.
I read a comic years ago wherein the bumpy headed Klingons and the smooth headed Klingons had a barny and the smooth headed were banished. How crap is that?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I mean Apollo is now Lee? This is a hero's name?
Somewhere, Lee Majors is crying in his Wheaties.

Especially since it's canonical that Kang, Koloth, and Kor were all smooth headed in TOS, and bumpy headed on DS9. And just to bring it back to BSG, the John Colicos played Kor on Trek, and was Count Baltar in the original BSG.

Well I'd certainly banish SOMEONE for unleashing that big purple dinosaur that causes tooth decay on the world.
