Made me buy the set and really enjoyed reading them. <br /><br />Funny thing is that I had the radio on while reading and as I was looking at the foreplay panels and Enrique Iglesias's 'I Like It" started playing.....Soooo wrong, so perfect and too funny. Made me spit soda all over the laptop.<br /><br />"Don't stop baby, don't stop baby<br />Just keep on shaking along......"<br /><br />Koloth!!! Dayuuummmmmmm dude, I know she's a princess 'an all, but you can do better.<br /><br />Loved the twist right at the end, Yes!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-59227642896747524552010-09-19T14:19:52.025-03:002010-09-19T14:19:52.025-03:00Although I don't think we've seen much of ...Although I don't think we've seen much of Klingon bodies apart from Lusor and B'Tor's boobies, I always thought Klingons would have ridges or other "alien bits" on places other than just their forehead. That woman with the nice legs and the bupy forehead just looks weird.<br /><br />(Also, would a Klingon woman really shave her legs? Doesn't seem a "warrior" action, does it?)LiamKavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996095233681105682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-27593059510126446252010-09-19T11:10:14.906-03:002010-09-19T11:10:14.906-03:00Me too.

This was shortly after Star Trek: The Motion Picture to explain why the Klingons in the movie looked different from the ones on the series.<br /><br />As for the two "types" co-existing, I just chalk it up to complications in treating the virus.Dehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10132196355430345167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-45843498264844121482010-09-19T09:44:19.070-03:002010-09-19T09:44:19.070-03:00To be fair to Byrne, this seems to be an IDW thing...To be fair to Byrne, this seems to be an IDW thing. In their very second mini, Klingons: Blood Will Tell, they had the two types interacting.<br /><br />Which is why I proposed that theory.<br /><br />ON the flipside, and as a piece of trivia, Byrne did the art piece for Klingons for DC's Who's Who in Star Trek, in which the "two continents" theory was given as fact.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-70295943562647670302010-09-19T01:32:53.676-03:002010-09-19T01:32:53.676-03:00What I meant was that there was a popular theory a...What I meant was that there was a popular theory among Trekkers (sorry) that there were two different types all along, with some sort of "one type is from the northern continent, the other from the southern continent" silliness.<br />This was around the time of TNG Or when people first started asking the question when the movies came out), but well before the explanation offered in DS9 and confirmed in Enterprise, and there were a number of vocal opponents to the whole idea of the new explanation being made canon, who announced that they would stick with their theory no matter what.<br />My take on seeing this comic was that Byrne seemed to be throwing his lot in with said group.Jack Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347116217773724467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-75973335493387014602010-09-19T00:41:28.066-03:002010-09-19T00:41:28.066-03:00I'm not sure what to make of the two species t...I'm not sure what to make of the two species together. I have a feeling that at some point, the Klingons might have found a way to turn the virus non-communicable, allowing for both genotypes to flourish. But you're right, it's a bit strange.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-71859131629682248042010-09-18T19:26:59.391-03:002010-09-18T19:26:59.391-03:00There's one thing that kind of bugs me about t...There's one thing that kind of bugs me about this series: it shows Byrne to be a proponent of the "two types of Klingons" theory, my personal least favourite of all the various explanations ever offered. Ugh.<br />It also distracts me from his still-good art by reminding me of his crankiness in showing that he's sticking with the idea and nothing's going to convince him, dammit, as late as 2009.Jack Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347116217773724467noreply@blogger.com
