I stopped watching Enterprise last year; but I'm curious; what IS their explanation for that?
I think Babylon 5 was tops.
Answer: The Klingons retrieved some of the engineered DNA from Dr. Sung's experiments salvaged from the destroyed bird of pray and mixed them with Klingon DNA. They were so impressed with the fact that two altered Humans destroyed a full crew, they wanted to match the experiments. The result was a Human/klimgon hybrid, a deadly desease, no brow ridges, and a directive from the High Council to methodically destroy all infected Klingons en masse to prevent a genecide. Now Flox has to find a cure.
Pretty good call. :-)
Augments. You know how they had Khan and other augmented humans?? The Klingons borrowed the technology thinking the humans had developed a secret weapon. Now its become a plague.
It's not actually an old question at all. The solved it a long time ago when they handed the bible notes to FASA for the game systems, the early Klingons we saw were Klingon-Human hybrids.
