We'd interpret that line very differently if the director had gone with a wide shot during that line. Koloth gestures in the shape of a woman while he says it. Therefore, the Klingons don't have women serving on their ships at that time. No wonder they picked that fight on K-7 -- They were sexually frustrated!Koloth said so, "Captain, we Klingons are not as luxury-minded as you Earthers. We do not equip our ships with, how shall I say it, non-essentials." = no washing machine.
I wonder if the events of "The Trouble With Tribbles" convinced the Klingons to let women start serving on their ships by the time of "Day of the Dove" (therefore making the Klingons more progressive than the Starfleet of "Turnabout Intruder.").
That's why Chekov said they could smell the Klingons from a parsec away. (The outpost near K-7 had no washing machines either.)Well, that's why they visited K-7, they don't have a washing machine on the ship, so they had a lot of laundry.

Watching The Doomsday Machine last night I noticed that when Decker first refers to Star Fleet he pronounces it with the emphasis on the word Fleet which sounded odd. Normally characters say Star Fleet with the emphasis on the word Star.
But, ah, the guy had had a bad day and, as we know, wasn't thinking straight.
Maybe Klingon crew-women of that time weren't all that curvy, Mara wasn't particularly voluptuous.Koloth gestures in the shape of a woman while he says it.

The other Klingon woman that appeared on the transporter pad was though and it's sad to say we never saw her again in the episode or the series!

DOOOOOOOOOOOOO EEEEEEEEEEEETTTT.Uh-oh! I sense a new topic: "What if Ed Wood had directed Star Trek?"
E.g.: "He's dead, Jim! And somebody's responsible!"
"Ray" and "Donna Krebs" came into my theater during the Summer of 84 in Dallas. And I got to tear their tickets. And I wondered who the little girl was that was with them. And one of my coworkers told me it was Charlene Tilton. I was only 19 at the time, but she looked like 14 years old. She was tiny back then.She was by the time she married Ray on Dallas.
