Klingon change for season 2?

Common sense?
Are we gonna talk about how that one Klingon has a double bladed light saber from Star Wars?
Common sense would dictate they would show them.
Looks like a Klingon to me. Just like the bald ones looked like Klingons. Only difference is hair.
No. Common sense recognizes they were a really dumb idea to begin with.
Midichlorians level of stupid.

Please stop with this name calling
Everyone knows Khyber crystals and dilithium crystals share identical physical properties.
Thus, a “projectile energy controlled pulse batleth” becomes an obvious reality in the Star Trek universe.
I forget the other name for such a weapon.
Maybe that Klingon has robot legs?
Because it was a shit idea.
The augments were a terrible idea which resulted from fans not being able to take a joke and taking everything they see on screen so literally. There was no need to explain why there were no ridged klingons in TOS when Roddenberry himself explained it when ridged klingons showed up in TMP
They were banished to the edges of the Empire, obviously, for not being pure Klingon.
Also, on a BTS note, black face is not as fashionable any more.
Finally, the show runners are not evil so can the name calling end?
Obviously the intent of the augment virus was to make the various incarnations fit. At that level it was trying to open up the possibilities. I don't have a problem with that creativity. My curiosity is going to be at how Klingons can change so quickly within say a year or ten years. How the one Klingon looks a certain way and that same one then appears changed.
I read up thread that they may have shaved their heads. God knows why. Like... "Hang on the Federation is about to attack". "Well they can't. I have three days growth on my bony ridged head". (Cut to scene of Kol with little bits of toilet paper stuck to razor cuts over his noggin).
I guess it's just as plausible as men shaving their faces.

And their ideas aren’t? They had the ship spinning for crying out loud.
Whether you liked the idea or not it was shown on screen and is therefore canon. You can’t just ignore it.

Sure you can. And they have been.
We don’t know for sure. Perhaps they will show us a few this season.
Hopefully we stay away from Klingons this time round. They’ve been done to death.
Fashion. Five years earlier, all klingons were rocking the mullet and porn-staches. It doesn't make much sense...
On a related note: I guess the official "canon" now has to be that some part of the Empire still are affected by the Augment virus, and - by pure chance - Kirk in his youth only ever had contact with them. But obviously was aware of the "normal" klingon look, and thus not surprised when he only ever met the "traditional" klingons as of TMP onward.
Is this explanation clunky? Hell yeah. Can I live with it? Absolutely.

Pretty much this. That's always been my view any way.
But, the unfortunate thing is that the idea that Klingons always looked like some variation of TMP Klingons was sufficient enough for Roddenberry and yet not enough for the fandom. So, clunky explanation it is
