Did the Klingons ever apologise....

[sariel2005]

I don't think the Klingons denied Kruge was working for them
since if they did and Kruge was, in effect a privateer criminal, they would have had no grounds to demand the
extradiction of Kirk. (As they said they deny nothing, they have the right to preserve their race )

Dunno - Kor in "Errand of Mercy" seemed to do all the usual honor things, respecting Kirk as a "worthy adversary" instead of just executing him outright and so forth. Kang was a perfect example of TNG-style Klingon honor, too.

In contrast, the TOS Romulans seemed like a bunch of no-good scheming bastards all, which makes one wonder where the idea arose that Romulan and Klingon honor concepts "switched places" between TOS and TNG. Is that just because of the character of Mark Lenard's Romulan Commander in "Balance of Terror"? The same guy who performed a dastardly sneak attack in an invisible ship, and then hid a nuclear bomb in a debris cloud?

The Klingons also resorted to a form of germ warfare which, if successful, would have caused the excruciating deaths of untold numbers--and this in a light, comedy episode.

But the idea that Romulans were honorable and Klingons were not comes from the writers guide and TMoST. Like much of what's in both--the easy friendship between McCoy and Scotty, for example--it never fully crystallized on screen. Even so, I remember thinking "But Klingons have no concept of honor" when Kruge said Valkris would remembered with it before blowing up the merchantman in TSFS.
