Yeah Hunter-G's redesigns are beautiful.
Spoilers ST Strange New Worlds - Starships and Technology Season Two Discussion

It is not exactly rare technology, maybe just locational.
All five buildings in the office park where I work (30 stories each) have revolving doors, and each of these buildings are under ten years old. I know many others along the street have them. Maybe it is a southern United States thing. We really don't want to let the AC air out/the insane heat in.
That is one of the benefits of Revolving Doors, preserving the Cool Air in the room.
Especially if you have additional seperators between Entrance and Exit.
Rework the nacelles but it's a step in a more tolerable direction.
How so? The ridged Klingons are the dominant race. The smooth heads are an aberrant minority.
Maybe that wasn't the case during TOS. Maybe there was an upheaval in Klingon society, and the more Human-looking Klingons were briefly in power for a while and the ones more commonly seen at the time.
We do not discuss it with outsiders.
But it would not surprise me if someone eventually said that the process to get an entire species’ heads bumpy again was a slow and laborious program, which at first made everyone even bumpier and balder by the 2256, but was seeing real dividends by 2259 or so. The ruling class started with the treatments that made them WAY too bumpy; but ultimately they fine tuned things to get them to the historical look.
Still, whole crews honourably avoided it well into the 2260s, due to various honourable reasons. QED.

Not according to ENT. The smooth heads used to be ridged heads until the Augment virus changed them. And at some point after TOS but before TNG they all went back to being ridged heads.
ENT has only some Klingon colonies afflicted, it never says or even implies it was the entire population. You can have a few million smoothheads out of the empire's billions/trillion/a crow of Klingons.
The Klingon Empire having an internal conflict? I am shocked, shocked I say that things might change in the Empire.
I never said it was the entire population. I said that formerly ridged Klingons became smooth because of a virus and then they later went back to being ridged. There wasn’t a distinct race of smooth headed Klingons like what you stated.
LOL I thought it was the defunct Nordstrom store downthere
Maybe the High Command sent the Quch'Ha to deal with Starfleet?
Send in the quchha wave! They're ridgeless, they were born to die!
Death before dishonor! Dishonor on your whole family! On your mom, on your dad, on your sons, on your daughters, on your parallel grandma from a time-reverse reality!
I don't get why the Kurtzman team are hellbent on portraying Kor as already a HemQuch before TOS. The Kelvin comic Nero did it, as did the post-Into Darkness arc of the ongoing Kelvin comic. Then the DIS season 2 follow-up comic Aftermath did the same for Rynar and Kor alike per Kol-Sha and Kol both being HemQuch on the streaming episodes. Come the hell on!
Viruses spread.
Could be a "soft" retcon. I don't remember precisely how Kor looked in the DSC comic off-hand, but I seem to recall him definitely being John Calicos, to a degree that wouldn't have been so apparent with the standard DSC design. Maybe they're trying to hedge a little in case they decide the Unhappy Ones are more like Chang in TUC and still have ridges, but they're very subtle.
Unlikely Kor was HemQuch in SNW, yet Quch'Ha in TOS.
