all right I'm beginning to understand what happened.
I didn't mean to call you stupid. I meant to call the discrepancy stupid. I was kind of wondering why you took that comment of mine so personally, I was actually being semi-serious at that point. Ax COULD have gotten a lobotomy on the homeworld--heck, he got half of one in book 29. And Ax COULD have hit his head sometime, on the homeworld, or on the Dome Ship, or even running around in the forest off-camera at some point. My point was, yeah, he could have forgotten, but making up excuses for discrepancies in canon is just redundant, you know? Anyone can make up any reason they want why Klingons look so different in TNG than TOS, but the fact of the matter is it's a continuity error, and any fanwank is just that without textual evidence. So I wasn't saying you were stupid for making up those possible explanations, I was saying canon made a mistake and it's pointless to make up possible explanations because then ANYTHING could be the reason.
That was my point.
So I got a little defensive about you taking my comment personally when I didn't really see the reason why (now I do), but yeah this repeating thing has been bothering me for a while. And yeah, this isn't the place to talk about it, so I'll drop it for now.
