Klingons & Humans Are Literally the Same Species

[Guy Gardener]

And nothing like that has ever been "established" and all that is, is your personal fanon.

Draal from Babylon 5, said something like "The plastic surgeons are going to make a fortune putting ridges back on everyone's head."

On the other hand actual crispring is going to be heavily outlawed.

Even if the council is in disagreement, there's going to be one house that is nuking planets from orbit at the mist signs of gene mods, whether it legal or a war crime, just because it's the only way to preserve their way of life.

Mating between humanoid members of species that have evolved in different star systems is one of the fictional premises of Star Trek that has no scientific basis. It's true that it is not contradicted by science, but only because we know of no examples of extraterrestrial life whatsoever. However, it's certainly contrary to all reasonable scientific expectations.

Moreover, the idea that there are a lot of humanoid aliens in this part of the galaxy is part of the TOS pitch intended to save makeup and VFX costs, not anything that follows from a scientific principle. Whenever Star Trek has taken the idea of humanoid aliens too seriously, we've gotten train wrecks like "The Chase." When it hasn't taken itself too seriously, the result has been brilliant conceptions such as Spock.

...I really liked The Chase.

A good explanation reasoning the aliens of Star Trek and their similarities to each other with a little bit of The Paradise Syndrome thrown in for good measure!
