“May Kahless guide us on this day of vengeance!”
Totally blows me away that for this episode they got the original three actors that were in Star Trek TOS for Kang, Koloth and Kor-- Star Trek’s most iconic Klingon characters.
Michael Ansara as Kang, William Campbell as Koloth and John Colicos as Kor
And let’s geek out even further. William Campbell played Trelane in Star Trek TOS “Squire of Gothos” and “John Colicos” played Baltar in Battlestar Galactica TOS.
Here we go!
Klingon holosuite battles! woot!
(Odo and Quark are funny)
Woot! It’s BALTAR!!!
I am Kolof!
(and I now have a ridged forehead! Do not ask :p)
So these specific three Klingons had the human faces in TOS, and now they have the bony foreheads? How do we figure that?
Sorry I’m late. Meetup podcast went long. Time check?
Oh, you young young thing, Cas. It’s Koloth, not Kolof. He was an iconic Klingon before the idea of Picard or Sisko even existed. 
“It’s been a Klingon afternoon.”
Afternoon delight?
7 minutes.
phst I’ve had a lot of cold medicine tonight. at least I noticed the forehead change 
What’s a keevon?
Here’s younger Koloth
Is that peptide cake? Yum! 
81 years? not a small time, that.
aw beloved friend
Aging is rough.
And here’s younger Kor.
Looks like tofu
Sorry you’re not feeling well. Seems like everyone is sick lately

[li]When Michael Ansara asked why the Klingons now looked different, he was told “Klingons live to be very, very old and that’s a natural physical metamorphosis”. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion) The Star Trek: Enterprise episodes “Affliction” and “Divergence” ultimately explained why Kang, Koloth, and Kor have ridges here.
