Anyone else annoyed that there are no TOS Klingons in SNW yet?

When I "upgraded" the Klingons from TOS to TNG standards I gave Bob a lame haircut and ridge pattern. :lol:

Honestly I think the chances of seeing Kor, Kang or Koloth again are small because of the makeup issue, unless they cast African ethnicity actors to play them. That's not even getting into the continuity issues if Kor has met Spock and Kirk before although I believe Koloth could work as TOS implied that Koloth had met Kirk before in a "Remember the New Guy?" situation.

There's also the possibility of adding in younger TOS movie Klingons like Chang, Korrd, or Gorkon. If they bring in Korrd they should bring back Sybok again too and make it a full TFF reunion. :lol:
 
Korrd was so important a Klingon military strategist that Kirk learned about his strategies while a cadet at the Academy. That means Korrd was a known figure in Klingon politics and military affairs as early as 2250-54. He'd definitely be known of by the Starfleet brass in SNW.

I think Koloth is safe. Unless looking like a hipster is controversial :lol:

Kirk and Koloth have history as illustrated by how they greet each other in TTWT. It's not their first encounter. No reason why Spock or Kirk can't first meet him on SNW.
 
Koloth will show up as a ridged Klingon and meets Kirk. M'Benga, in another "I HATE ALL KLINGONS, ARRRGGHHH!!! :mad:" episode will unleash the augment virus on Koloth, but destroys all evidence of his culpability. Koloth is left alone screaming as his ridges dissolve but we don't actually see him as a TOS Klingon as the scene cuts away. Kirk confronts M'Benga but M'Benga insists Kirk has no proof that M'Benga had anything to do with Koloth's infection. Kirk says, "I have my eye on you, and if I had my way you wouldn't even be CMO". After Kirk walks off, M'Benga says "I can live with it".
