Does anyone here have an idea on what happened to the Klingons between TOS and the first movie. I've heard three, non-cannon, concepts two plausible, one fully from the GONZO files.
First there's the FASA explanation, but that was proven to wrong in (forget episode's name) DS9 with Kor, Koloth, and Klang having ridges.
Next we have the, lets laugh, concept "Cptn. Kirk kicked the Klingon's collective Butts so many times their spines were relocated...
And lastly we have the concept from a novel (which I do not know the name to) where a group of Klingon geneticists go back in time, when Proto-Klingons were just starting to emerge and modified the geno-structure to make themselves warrior-like.
One other comcept I just thought of was minor cosmetic alterations, to make themselves look more humanish, but given the Klingon medical history (both cannon and non-) I doubt that...
Any other ideas or input?
