Even though I've seen TOS I never connected the dots! Didn't realise their characters had appeared before. Must watch those episodes again some time.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

(To the tune of "Boggis, Bunce, and Bean")
DS9 s2e19 "Blood Oath" featuring returning TOS actors William Campbell (Koloth, s2e15 "The Trouble with Tribbles," also played Trelane), Michael Ansara (Kang, s3e7 "Day of the Dove"), and John Colicos (Kor, s1e26 "Errand of Mercy")
Glad to share the trivia.
This moment seems familiar but I can’t place it.
Heavyweights, when the campers are scheming in their cabin.
Featuring Ben Stiller as his proto White Goodman character Tony Perkis.
Kodos was the actor who was previously a mass murderer.
I know they don't discuss it with outsiders, but is there any canon explanation as to the drastically different looks?
Headcanon from the old DaystromInstitute is that they were impacted by the augment virus, but on the tail end and the infection so "normal" Klingons were being born again and working up the ranks. As such, a lot of older Klingons were being surgically altered to have ridges again
That headcanon is in line with the Enterprise episode with the augment virus infecting the Klingons.
I meant those 3 didn't have the ridges in TOS, but did in DS9. Its been a while since I watched any of those episodes but did they say that it'll cure itself and Kor's ridges naturally returned?
There is no official explanation for their change back in appearance between shows. Roddenberry's position was to "imagine" the ridges were always there in TOS (make-up of the time being a constraint), but Worf in DS9 renders that point moot.
IIRC, there's a line at the end of those episodes about the Klingons doctor working on restoring appearances. Guess they were at the back of the queue
Those are the same actors reprising their same roles? Wow, I had no idea.
