    Kor was good. When a new Klingon character is introduced, they need something to differentiate themselves from the stereotype of the honor-bound aggressive wine-guzzler. Kor here stood out in his approach to running the occupation and his presence on the screen.

      Sure but in DS9 Kor is by far the goofiest of the three musketeers Dahar masters. Kang is far more serious and a better fit for this character, and even looks more like Demore Barnes. So making him Kor instead is an odd decision.

      One thing I forgot to mention - since the preview photos and logline were released on Monday, I’d been wondering if we might see some ridgeless Klingons, but no luck. Maybe it’s for the best, but maybe it’s a missed opportunity?

        It’s kind of frustrating that 90s Trek actually gave an in-universe description for the ridgeless Klingons, because it really should have just been a case of “the aliens are the same, but this is how they’re portrayed now”. Like, my head-canon is that the TOS Enterprise looks just like the one in SNW; they just didn’t have the budget/technology to accurately show it in the 60s. But now, there gets to be a plot hole of why Kor has ridges now, but won’t 5 years later in “Errand of Mercy”, and then will again by the late 24th century in DS9.
