Constantly furrowing your brow, only to then pushed up said wringles with your hand during facepalming leaves behind deep forehead creases, that over time evolve into head ridges. [wink]

But what do the Klingon women look like?

Also “Making them stand ins for communist China doesn’t work anymore”.

Seems like over time the ridges would be smoothed out from all of the facepalms.

The ridges are what Klingons are supposed to look like, the Klingons of TOS were the ones affected by a retro-virus making them look more humanoid. Also technically it was the cure for a virus that made them look humanoid, not the virus itself that was just killing them.

We call this one the “Kahless’ Ladder.”

Ridges, God, tribbles and Michelle Yeoh. Finally my fan-fic dream show is coming true.

I also hope we learn what happened to the skirts and skants, why the Starfleet uniforms have so many colors, and also the origin of the tribble. You know, the really important stuff that matters.

Why would anyone pierce their forehead ridges if they contain extra-sensory receptors? That just sounds counter-productive, and really painful. 

So that’s why Worf is always losing his fights...

This was one of those bits of the lore I liked better as a tongue in cheek joke. Like in the Ds9 episode where Worf’s answer is simply “We do not like to talk about it.”

“The Empire is very big. They don’t all grow up on Qo’noS. They don’t all live on the same planets and certainly those different planets would have different environments. So how would the cultures have evolved differently?” Page said. “We tried to come up with cultural axioms for each house so each looks different…

And this should be the same reason everything looks more hi-tech compared to TOS.

But in Star Trek: Discovery, we’ll find out why the Klingons got their forehead ridges...

I am as needlessly hardcore geeky as it gets, but the powers at be at Star Trek should have flat out said, “They have ridges because now we can afford to do it. We couldn’t afford it before on the 60's show. That’s it. There will be no ‘in-story’ reason given and the difference between them will never be acknowledged.”

indeed, everybody talks about B5 or TNG with great regard, but most people doesn’t want to give a shot to Farscape, and that’s because they find it very weird in the first episodes. I think Farscape deserves more.

I swear he (Browder)has a painting hidden away growing old in an attic some where

Farscape is easily one of the most underrated science fiction shows of the last 20 years. In fact he might have taken more lessons from it on showing how a group of dissimilar people become a family.

You are confused about what I said. I simply pointed out that hiring people based on social media presence was just an new form of an old Hollywood practice. I did not make any value judgement as to wether that practice was good or bad.
