Don't even get us started on the Gorn.Since this movie, for the most part, is not canon, we shouldn't assume anything. Like they said in the earlier post, this is JJ's interpretation of Klingons. Why couldn't a Klingon Soldier wear a helmet? Why should we assume that the virus concept is even concidered for this movie? After all, they had to INVENT an explanation for the fact that this same thing happened when the Klingons got their ridges in the first place in TMP. It made them look more intimidating! This is just another example of someone's take on what a Klingon is. Funny how no one complains that the Romulans are bald and tattooed, yet the fine details of Klingon head and garb are picked apart. Wonder what people would say if JJ made the Gorn eight inches tall and look more like Gecko's?![]()
