man, what happened to the Klingons?

[neoolong]

The only thing I can think of is a rebellion of younger more intelligent Klingons that see that the warrior way is stupid. They can still be warriors but understand that intelligence has as much or even more of a place on the battlefield than suicidal courage. These new Klingons can appeal to the families of the warriors who die in stupid battles and eventually get control of the government. They reform the Klingon Empire into something more complex but still expansionist. This time they are intelligent and are able to create a stable Empire that becomes a threat to everyone else.

And my dog is going to jump over the moon. Oh, as long as we're contemplating impossibilities, Picard grows a set of balls.

Face it - as long as B&B are around, there aren't going to be any intelligent klingons. And after Voyager, no one else will touch the Star Trek franchise.

Hey, I'm just going by Mike's suggestion. Toss out the bad, get something new. The bad of course including B&B.

B&B won't be around forever. The Klingon's could have some potential if they decide to throw away the valhalla warrior mentallity; they're a strong-willed race with dreams of domination.
