While the real reason for the discrepancy between The Original Series Klingons and their feature film and later television series counterparts was a lack of budget, fans took it upon themselves to contrive an acceptable canon reason for the sudden change.[22] These theories postulated that TOS Klingons were in fact humans raised as Klingons, similar to Janissaries; that for cosmetic or diplomatic reasons, Klingons removed the ridges via surgery; or that TOS Klingons were in fact hybrids with a more human species.[23] Simple theories that the different Klingons were different racial breeds were complicated by the fact that the characters of Kang, Koloth, and Kor appeared with smooth features in the original series, yet reverted to a ridged appearance in Star Trek: Deep Space 9, and that Worf acknowledged the difference in appearances when the crew of Deep Space 9 returned to the 23rd century in the episode "Trials and Tribble-ations".[22]
A canonical explanation for the change was given in a two-part storyline on Star Trek: Enterprise. The two episodes, "Affliction" and "Divergence", aired in February 2005. An earlier story arc featured the Augments, genetically-engineered humans left over from the Eugenics Wars of the late 20th century, and who were defeated by Captain Jonathan Archer and the USS Enterprise in Klingon space. The Klingon High Council fears that Starfleet was developing armies of Augments; after gaining access to genetic material from the Augments, the Klingons perform experiments to increase their own intellect and strength. The experiments turn disastrous when a strain of flu one of the test subjects suffered from is mutated and becomes a deadly plague that spreads across the Empire, causing physical changes resulting in the afflicted bearing a TOS-era appearance. Dr. Phlox of the Enterprise formulates a cure for the virus, but the physical alterations remain in the populace and are inherited by offspring. Phlox indicated that "someday" the physical alterations could be reversed.[24][25]
I never actually saw the G.I. Joe show when I was a kid, but Snake Eyes is the coolest dude and I found a Snake Eyes action figure in Target a while ago and I bought it just so I could have Snake Eyes standing on top of my book shelf, ever vigilant.
I am going to see G.I. Joe because Snake Eyes was running on a car that was flipping over and then he jumped and did a flip and that was so badass you guys
Plus in another part there were at least 3 guys doing slow-motion flips at the same time. You can easily tell how awesome a movie's going to be based on how many people are in slow-motion in a single scene.

Why the fuck does everything have to be Black Rubber? I don't remember any of the Joes other than Snake Eyes in Black Rubber.

Specrum analysis of a pact with the devil? I'd watch that.
I'm gonna pretend that instead of "spectrum analysis" you meant to type "speculum analysis"
It's hard to run FT-IR analysis on a metal object used to do medical exams on a vagina.
