Reed Diamond's going to be on Medium next week.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
On Star Trek, I always figured it was a genetic virus perputrated on the Klingons by the Romulans. I started writing a book outline on that about 10 years ago or more. It had the virtue of explaining the changes to previously unbumpy Klingons, as well as others already affected...

So in the original BSG, Apollo was his actual name? Not his call sign?

Correct. As was Starbuck.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
The naming in the original always cracked me up. Seriously, your kids are Apollo, Athena, and Zach? Which one did they think was going to be killed off in ep 1?

t snork I didn't know there was a Zach in the original series, but yeah. Kind of doomed there, buddy.
Some of the Trek novels have fanwanked the appearance differences in the Klingons to sort of racial or class differences. Like the imperial race looks one way, the soldiers look another.
