The "not recommend" thread

TNG answered that issue in an episode if wanna know-

( Click to show/hide )

An ancient species "seeded" our part of the universe and all the sentient life resembles them with minor differences like head/nose ridges.

Yeah I put it in a spoiler. I respect TNG like that.

I bet they "explained" it way after the fact, when people caught on to their laziness.

[Dudebro]

Well yeah of course, TNG is the second show in the series. It's hard to justify the corny crap from TOS but it is the first series and they claim it as cannon. At least they made the Klingons look somewhat different. In Kirks day they were just darker skinned humans with mustaches and goatees.
TNG also touched on that too. Worf was asked about the change and he refused to talk about it. Something about it being a stain on the Klingons honor. I'm not a trekkie so I don't know more than that. Maybe WB can fill us in?

I hope WB knows more than I do about it, because I remember a whole sequence where Worf explains how Klingons tried to make themselves even more fierce by altering thier genetic code.

The experiment was an embarrassment to the Klingon Empire, and that is why they don't talk about it openly.
THIS particular sequence may have been on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
WB?

I would not recommend spending money on The Dark Knight, that movie was horrible.

Like I said I'm no trekkie so I don't know it all. What you said sounds familiar and I do believe it was from DS9, the episode where they relived the Tribbles thing.

Does this ring any bells? I got it off of a link from the site Dudebro brought up.

The Klingon augment virus was a modified form of Levodian flu that threatened to wipe out the Klingon race in the mid-22nd century. It was inadvertently created by Klingon researchers who were attempting to bio-engineer enhanced warriors using DNA from genetically-modified human embryos left over from Earth's Eugenics Wars.

Man, trekkies are amazingly dedicated. Did you see how detailed the page Dudebro linked was. They have a page like that for everything in the ST universe.

I never watched an episode of Deep Space 9 but that Klingon story sounds familiar. They must have told it somewhere else too.

Awesome Trekking, guys!
I can't let this topic go without at least one pic of Dax in a STOS uniform!


just something about those Trills that gives me thrills!
(it may be the freckles)

Well to be fair that specific page involves three different ST series so it's bound to be more detailed. Some pages are just a sentence or two or pages with a lot of citation needed statements.
Btw if you think this shows their dedication check out-
Memory Beta, non-canon Star Trek Wiki
It's another ST wiki full of non cannon info like some books and the TOS cartoon I think.

@JG- I think that episode was genius. They really made it feel like those characters were interacting with Kirk and co. Dax getting the vapors over Spock was amusing for example.

You're right in saying that episode was genius; it was so totally ST: Back to the Future!
And who doesn't love tribbles?

Awwwwww! It's so CUTE!

On topic:
I don't recommend those dollar store DVD's with old movies on them.

OK, I understand we're only talking about a couple of dollars here but for a few dollars more

in the 'previously viewed' bin at the video store, you could get a much better quality show to watch and possibly the same title that isn't
'Pan and Scan' or 'Formatted to fit your TV', because watching shows like that is just garbage as you are missing half of the show, literally.

You're much better off with 'Widescreen' presentations every time.
Most anime is made for TV, so in that case it doesn't apply.
(Studio Ghibli would be an exception there)
