Greetings...
-=Rene Kolmos scrawled on a mystic sheet of parchment to All about Midwife=-
Worf helped Keiko when she was about to give birth to her baby... a Midwife
is someone who helps the mom deliver the baby so Worf happened to be the
Midwife at the time.  He cut the umblical cord when the baby was born.
As for other Omnipedias... probably.
Take care,

Easy, you should watch TOS *first*, and then complain about inconsistencies
that TNG era Trek introduces <G>
1) Why they look weird:
       Watch "Trials and Tribble-ations" <DSN> for Worf's explaination.
  A) Simple answer - they didn't have the money to make them look good
                       (That's why they used Klingons, because Romulans were
                       too expensive)
  B) Better Trek answer - they used cosmetic surgery because they did not
                       think that the humans were honourable enough to be
                       honoured with their true appearance.
                       (We know that they have the ability to do great
                       plastic surgery because of Darvin the Klingon
                       in human-form)
  C) the wrong answer - they're human/klingon hybrids, or another race of
                       Klingon, not the Imperial Klingons of the
                       bumpy foreheads.
               Why this is wrong: Three klingons from TOS showed up on DSN
                               They looked exactly like every other klingon
                               in TNG era.
  D) the other answer - something horrible occured between TOS and ST1 to
                       the Klingons. This brought about changes to all
                       Klingons. (This is why Kahless looks different in
                       TOS and TNG)
As to honour:
      A) simple answer - Roddenberry didn't like the portrait of the
                       Klingons from TOS, because they were "all evil", so
                       he added better qualities.
      B) better Trek answer - The Klingons did not think the Earther scum
                               were good enough for honour. They changed
                               their mind later.
               Why this is wrong: Kahless in TOS is different from the
                               Kahless of TNG.

Write your reply.

assistant: There's one big flaw in your statements...  Kahless *NEVER* appeared in TOS.
What Kirk and co. saw was an image constructed from their mental conceptions
of Kahless.  The Lincoln simulacrum explained this with regards to himself.
Naturally, the Lincoln, Colonel Green and Surak images were accurate since
Kirk and Spock were familiar with visual records of them, but for Kahless all
they had to go on was imagination, which was shaped by the fact that Kirk and
co. had only ever seen the smooth-headed Kilngons.

Write your reply.

assistant: Well I didn't say the above. What I said was that the TOS show didn't have
the budget that TNG and the later shows did. The best references to the
hectic and crazed TOS days is the book by Justman and Solo. An exceptional
book and a MUST READ for any TOS fan.
I also enjoyed it emensely.. and the "Trials and Tribulations" follow up.
They did a good job keeping the humor of the TOS show intact. Intersting
point, "Trouble with Tribbles" Was almost not made. It was considered "NOT
TREK" by the staff and was re-written before it was accepted into production.
This is also mentioned in the Justman/Solo book.

Short version -- they were the "Classic" Klingons.  As some Trek groups go,
they are referred to as "human fusion" (let's not get into that now, kay?).
Suffice it to say, they were the Klingons who appeared in the original
series.  (Did you notice the way the bartender referred to them as
Kling-Gons?  That's the way the word was pronounced back then).
