Klingons--bumpy or smooth?

They're wearing helmets of some kind so you can't see their faces. But the helmets themselves have Klingon ridges on them, so they probably do too.

TOS movie-era bumps.
The helmets are like Klingon toupees, to cover up their embarrassing lack of cranial ridges.
They won't find a cure for the Augment virus until 2270 (unless Ambassador Spock e-mails them the formula for the cure 10 years earlier).

I say bumpy on the outside, smooth on the inside.
They will look exactly like modern day Klingons with the one exception that they will now be blue.
They should have bumps and ridges, for maximum pleasure.
Well, there was that thing that Worf talked about in DS9, when they travelled back in time and boarded the TOS Enterprise during the episode with the Tribble, Odo pointed out that they don't have bumps and Worf not wanting to talk about it. We only see masks there so possibly whatever happened that Worf didn't want to mention is starting there.
You won't be able to see the ridges anyway behind all the LENS FLARES!!!
Perhaps JJ can remake Undiscovered Country and have lens flares for reflections off Chang's head...
Has anyone ever noticed how admirably professional and competent the cast and crew come across in these interviews?
Regarding Klingons, perhaps they should be half smooth and half bumpy and then do a film like TOS: Let that be your last battlefield.
Perhaps the story could be about how the two klingon leaders who were both from the same house but smooth/bumpy on opposite sides (sort of laterally inverted twins) - one day discover a floating derelict cryogenic spaceship from old earth containing the bodies of a bunch of assorted Trekkers who had invested their merchandising fortunes in one of those failed cryogenic schemes of the 21st century.
The Trekkers are revived and they immediately polarise into two factions, as per usual with Trekkers. This meme infects the Klingons because there's no way a bunch of soft-shapeless out-of-condition humans are going to out-bellecose them, so igniting a Klingon civil war, with house divided against itself.
The film resolves the battle with the crew of the Enterprise stamping their authority using a mighty canon, and consequently invoking massive box-office receipts for all the alpha quadrant.

The Cohorts have said that Enterprise did still happen in this alternate timeline exactly as depicted in the show, so it would seem that yes, Klingons did go to smooth heads at some point in this alterate timeline. Now, it's possible that Nero's attack on the Kelvin set quantum mechanics in motion in such a way that the Klingons were able to solve the issue and gain their ridges back a lot sooner than they did in the Prime Verse...
