@18:

Thanks for the info. I read Byrne’s board, but I missed both of those nice tidbits of information.

I’m looking forward to the trade paperback even more now!

Yes, the Commodore is Number One. Byrne has already said so on his website. As I said in another thread on the subject, he is tying Crew into Romulans. Just as during the Crew series, he had an issue that tied his Assignment: Earth series to Crew.

And AGAIN, the Romulans trade paperback will feature Balance of Terror from the Romulan perspective.

From Byrne:
“Once SCHISM has been published, the whole Romulan Saga that began in ALIEN SPOTLIGHT will be collected into a trade paperback. There’s one “chapter” missing, of course, and that’s the original “Balance of Terror” episode. So, for the trade, I am doing a Romulan’s side “adaptation” of that episode. Here’s a sneekpeek at what is not, after all, a “surprise ending”!”

THG Ghosts has a fatal flaw: the Federation would never ally with only one nation of a world!

Technically, they’re not TNG Klingons, they’re TMP Klingons since they first appeared in the TOS film series. The other notable changing of the Klingon appearance first came into Trek canon not with Enterprise but with the DS9 episode “Blood Oath” which featured our favorite TOS Klingons Kor, Kang and Koloth – all long-haired and lumpy-like. Enterprise went to further detail to explain the more-human appearance, which we know they had already perfected by the transformation of a Klingon spy into the outwardly convincing human Arne Darvin in “The Trouble with Tribbles”. In the Deep Space Nine episode, “Trials and Tribble-ations”, Worf responds to O’Brien’s shock at the Klingon’s appearance, Worf is clearly embarrassed and responds with a curt “We don’t talk about it with outsiders” Not having the the Enterprise episodes, I can’t really give details as to what their explanation finally was.

11.: I think that was done through surgery or a cure or something. Its never explained. I don’t think they just grew back on their own.

That cover for TNG Ghosts is the most bland, generic and uninspired one I’ve ever seen.

Just read it. It’s pretty awesome. Good work. Looking forward to more Trek universe expanding comics.

The Klingon’s forehead ridges grew back, too. I think there was a TOS Klingon on DS9 and he had his ridge-on. (episode with Dax, I believe)
