They shave their heads. Some cultural thing that lasted half a second. By season three they're on the road preforming the title track to Hair.

The original Chuck Norris memes were meant to be humorous; given their popularity, I was not the only person who enjoyed them. If you don't like that, I respect your right to your opinion. But I'm not going to post only doom and gloom dead serious posts for your convenience.

By TOS they all have glorious 1960s supporting actor hair.

I think you've been quite clear on who you are, and what you are/are not going to do.
How about we get back to Star Trek?
Thanks
Well, I would hate to be seen as a waffling type.
Regarding the Klingons, the timeline is kind of funky.
2150's - Normal (long hair, ridged heads)
2160's - Augment (long hair, no ridges)
2250's - Modified (no hair, black skin, ridged heads)
2250's - Normal (long hair, ridged heads)
2260's - Augment (short hair, no ridges)
2370's - Normal (long hair, ridged heads)

No one's actually giving that any thought.
Give THAT some thought.
The worst episode of DS9 may not be "Move Along Home" or "Profit and Lace." It may be "Let He Who Is Without Sin..."
At least the first two attempted something clever. The last is just cringeworthy because it's a lazy attempt at a message story involving the late 24th century Federation equivalent of religious fundamentalists.

While all those are terrible, I'd like to nominate "The Reckoning": it seems to be an attempt at inspiring said fundamentalists!
And the "chest kamehameha" effect is very cringeworthy. As are Jake's "red possessed eyes" (later seen on Dukat, in equally stupid moments).
It's not like internal Klingon politics were the definition of stability.
Or fashion, apparently.
Those gray uniforms lasted a long time.
"MOVE ALONG HOME" is definitely not the worst DS9 episode. There's a lot of good in it.
"LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN..." does have a redeeming quality to it... we learn why Worf is the way he is. That was a great scene.
"PROFIT AND LACE", on the other hand, has nothing to redeem it.

Agree that The Reckoning is worse. Even though I don't think it would actually 'inspire said fundamentalists' - it's way too silly for even that.
While I think that on the whole, it' s a horrible episode, there are still a few small things I like about it. The fight Quark has with his mother, the slug-o-cola jingle , and the scene in which they try to convince the other powerful Ferengi to come to the station and hear the disposed Grand Nagus' case out are three of them.
Romulans and post-burn Starfleet seem to agree.
Once you go gray, you are here to stay.
"Profit and Lace(DS9)" is an insult to good Star Trek storytelling.
This is controversial? If you flipped it around and said it was Star Trek storytelling at its best, then we'd be getting somewhere...
