[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7339204, member: 22779"] Heh, if you think that Klingons only changed once, you haven't really watched Star Trek. There are galleries out there devoted to the differences in appearance of Klingons across the shows and movies. Look, I get not liking something. Sure, no problem. But, this just seems a really strange thing to worry about. Star Trek canon has never been terribly tight. There's canon holes all through the shows. Appearance changes for no reason, conveniently "forgetting" past solutions that would invalidate plots, character changes, heck, ACTOR changes (Worf's son got played by what, four different actors, none of which look anything alike.) To me, this latest plot is pretty classic Trek. Do you remain true to the Federation or do you wipe out the Klingons. Having the moral high ground is easy when it's not tested. DS9 explored this really well in the Dominion war. Do they commit genocide on the Founders or risk being over run by them? Moral quandaries are pretty much part and parcel to Trek AFAIC. And, lastly, as far as the writing not being better? Seriously? I'll stand this season up against the first season of any Trek series. I think nostalgia glasses have caused people to forget just how bad the first season of TOS, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise really were. They were practically unwatchable. I know because I just recently forced myself to rewatch them. It's brutal. [/QUOTE]
