That was explained. Klingons started off with lumpy foreheads, like in Enterprise. Then they got this plague and the only cure was a genetic modification, based on human DNA, which resulted in them having smooth foreheads by the time of ToS. Subsequently, this genetic impurity was fixed and the Klingon species reverted to its original genotype, hence lumpy foreheads again by the time of TNG, DS9 and Voyager.

That was always the funny thing in the original series. Kirk, Spock, Bones, and one random character would beam down to a planet. You always knew that one character wasn't beaming back.

The original series Star Trek was a huge part of my formative years, I don't think this can live up to it but I'll probably see it anyway. Simon Pegg is fab although he was in something rubbish on TV a while back

Me to, I just hope I haven't seen all the good bits in the trailers on TV

my poor brother keeps getting mistaken for Simon Pegg, (mind you he is his doppleganger).. I've told him he should cash in on it and go to a cinema and pretend to be him and see how many times he gets asked for his autograph..

Well they should've explained that before the first episode, I didn't watch any more after that Plus I didn't think it was right having Samuel Beckett in it.

It took them some time to work out that it needed explaining. At one point, there were several competing theories going around. My favourite was that ToS was a Federation propaganda effort, which played down the ferociousness of the Klingons so as not to dishearten the human race.

I liked Quantum Leap, too.

Are you related to my husband Mark? This sounds exactly like something he would say...
