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?

Strawberry disappointment.

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.

Boy, that was back before Zach was a popular name, too.

I think Zach was doomed because he was played by Rick Springfield, m'self.
I still have fond memories of seeing Lloyd Bridges as Commander Cain in the Battlestar Pegasus episode. He was way more fun than ol' Adama.
