   To which Drew Klenotic replies...   
      
   Well, "visually" doesn't matter.  The effects guys do what they want to   
   do and then the writers have to come up with some drivel that fans will   
   hopefully buy.  I'd respect it more if I knew the writers came up with   
   this and then got the effects guys to re-do the Klingons to fit their   
   story, but we all know that's not how it went down.   
      
   Someone thought the Klingons were too boring and needed to be more "scary   
   and edgy"... and the writers had to figure out a way to explain it so   
   people wouldn't complain and refuse to watch it.
