    when you can name three Klingons off the top of your head who were not returning main characters in any of the Star Trek Franchise. i.e. Warf, Alexander, and Kahn do not count as they returned time after time
    ...
    ...
    Kahn? Did you mean, Kurn, Worf's brother?
    ...
    NO! Kahn as in the Wrath of Kahn (i.e.-a main character) who also appeared in the original classic series .....I think Gowron no more than 2 TNG episodes. However I never watched DS9, so you may have me on that character....so I'll replace him Durell who was Douras's son who tried to take over the Klingon High Coucil. I applaud you for your correct spelling of Kahless....I cannot spell the names correctly. However pick up that phaser shaped microphone sit down for not knowing who Kahn is.
    <game show buzzer> Sorry, but Kahn was an augmented human, not a Klingon. I know who Kahn was, but you said 'Klingons' so that's why I thought you meant Kurn, who was in several TNG/DS9 episodes. So I'll leave the phaser/mic right where I left it! :wink:
    Thanks for playing! The fact that you know what Klingons are makes you OK in my book. :drinker:

    Bonus #1: Klingons were featured heavily in ST:DS9 season 4, when they attacked the Cardassians (not Kim, Kris, Khloe, etc.; that's for pro athletes and ballers) and later got their collective *kitten* handed to them by the Dominion.

    Bonus #2: The whole "why do ST:TOS Klingons looks different from Klingons in the later series" was hinted upon by a DS9 ep and later fully addressed by a 2-part ST:ENT eps dealing with augments, both humans and Klingon. I thought it was a cheesy explanation, but it minimally-served its purpose given the detailed history that had to 'loophole'.

    P.S. I have watched all 700+ eps from all 5 series (plus the animated series, which was mostly non-canon), so I knowz mah stuff!

    Bows to the master :drinker:

    Also are counting the days till the Dr Who 50th anniversary special and the Christmas episode, as well are cheesed off because you have been planning a TARDIS tattoo for ages but saving up is taking WAY too long!

    ^^ This,

    Or you have lost count on the times you have re-watching your favorite episodes.
    Also getting into arguments over your friends over your favorite Doctor as well.

    Or you get judgy with those who refuse to watch certain companions OR watch them in order. My best friend REFUSES to watch Doctor 9 or the Rose saga. And proclaims herself the greatest Doctor Who fan ever. FWIW, I'm a huge DW collector and have arguments back and forth on different theories with different people. And encompassing all of the side projects! I have a whole scheme on what The Blessing is. And yet - there's only ONE of my friends that's seen every one of the reboot episodes in order.

    When you get excited when a new device is being released fully knowing you would never be able to afford it.

    How the heck can people not watch a season just bacause the doctor changed? Fans of the original series are used to this by now. Bring back Tennantt you say? Bring back Tom Baker! Or give us a jelly baby.
