The series depiction was much better.. First: I quite agree!!!!!!!!!!!! (They were *Supposed* to be EVIL and sinistar!!) They were *COMICAL*, and that did NOT fit well into the movie!!! The cause is due to some novilization, where the author EXTRAPOLATED the nature of Klingons. It was written (I know not where) that there were 3 breads or races of Klingons. Type 1 is most human like. (The ones in "Trouble with Tribles") Type 2 is a bit more agressive etc. and has the olive skin color shown in many other shows. Type 3 is are the travesties first shown in ST3. Personally, I think the sieries authors didn't know the difference between Romulans and Klingons. (Help from someone with a VCR: Am I experincine ECC errors, or did the romulans (one played by Mark Lenord) in "Balance of Terror" with Bird of Prey ship have white skin or olive. During the quote "We a creatues of duty... I have but one more duty to perform." I remember olive! (maybe it was smoke-grey due to the battle). In the "Enterprise Incedent" (where Spock woows the femal commander and Kirk gets pointed ears and steal the Cloking device from the *ROMULANS*, who just happened to be using Klingon ships, the Romulans definatly had white skin. (Maybe well tanned, but NOT olive!) -- John W - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Name: John F.
