Previously. On Aint It Cool: Coaxial News:
9/25/01: “Are all the Klingons bumpy [in the "Enterprise" pilot]? They are, as one supposes Roddenberry would have liked it. And during warp flight, the stars fly by as they do in ‘The Next Generation’ – not the way they do in the original series. These are things we’re just going to have to get over.”
10/8/04: “Who knows? We might even learn why, 100 years after the Archer era, the Klingons all look like Rich Vos.”
We do not review today part two of the big Vulcanis arc because Paramount failed to cough up a copy in a timely manner. Instead, here’s what brewing for the next handful of “Enterprise” episodes:
4.8-4.9: In the conclusion of the Vulcan arc, T’Pau, Surak and Archer’s Andorian pal Shran turn up.
4.10: In “Daedalus,” co-written by Alan Brennert & Ken LaZebnik, we meet the inventor of the transporter. He is played by Bill Cobbs and not Jeff Goldblum, and he has a plan to eliminate starships entirely.
4.11: The Stevenses (“The Forge”) return with “Observer Effect,” an episode about a deadly crew virus.
4.12-4.14: An epic Andorian arc features Tellarites, Vulcans and (hey now!) the mysterious Romulans.
With 4.15, “Affliction,” it appears we get a kind-of prequel to the 1996 “Deep Space Nine” episode “Trials and Tribble-ations.” Remember how Worf, horrified at sorry state of Klingon visages in Kirk’s era, explains to his fellow Starfleet officers that the human-like appearance of the Klingon warriors was nothing to be discussed with non-Klingons?
It’s a question that’s been haunting fandom for a quarter century, since the bumpy heads made their debut in the opening minutes of “Star Trek: The Motion Picture.” When several TOS Klingons characters grew bumpy heads and visited DS9, I think Ira Behr explained it away to TV Guide by saying Klingons grow bumps as they get old. But I think I also think I read a Star Trek graphic novel or something that suggested there were actually TWO races of Klingons, one with bumpy heads, one without.
According to an article at TrekWeb.com, we will see Klingons inject green fluid into other Klingons - green fluid that may make many of them look like “comedian” and "Last Comic Standing" fixture Rich Vos! Read more of the episode, likely to air during February sweeps, here.
