The geeks over at Slashdot are having a field day with the new series, with the usual trolls damming it out of the gate and various arguments over the look of the Klingons - orig. searies vs. the next gen, etc. Too funny.
They are scrutnizing the whole Trek mythology for a "genetic adaptation experiment gone bad...yada yada yada" when the answer is as simple as modern makeup technology and production budgets. If you can suspend disbelief to accept the concept of a warp drive you should be able to accept the fact that 1968 Star Trek might have wanted a "Mr. Worf" look istead of a mongol gotee dude.
Gotta love T'pol though. Don't mind a bit of heat with my sci fi
