    Star Trek: how alien can we make this actor look for 5 dollars and 32 cents?

      “this actor” statistically being Jeffrey Combs

        But one time it wasn’t Jeffery Combs.

        Edit: I looked it up - it was Jeffery Combs, that time, too. Nevermind.

      every sentient species is identical from the clavicles on down.

        Except the Klingons.

        Edit: canonically Klingons have redundant organs for both survival and reproduction.

          Well, yes, but actually, no.

          The original Klingons in TOS were just people. Beyond that, they’re different.

          Edit: wait, from the clavicle down they’re still the same, even in the new series.

                he’s, like, 140 in that picture. the actor John Collins who played him was 71.

                Collins is also one of few actors to consistently play the same character in 3 series (TOS, TAS, DS9) and for over 30 years, pretty much right up until he died

                  (It was meant to be a joke about the makeup changes between TOS and DS9, pretending the forehead ridges were extreme wrinkles.)

            Klingons have two of every organ.

              At least for humans, skin is an organ. So I am imagining that Klingons have an extra skin somewhere like as a pouch, and when their main skin is too damaged, all of their bones and shit slide into the spare skin.

                maybe they just have extra layers, making their skin very thick?

          It is still a matter of debate whether Klingons have two penises or simply have two urethrae in one gigantic penis. We’re just gonna have to see a naked male Klingon to be absolutely sure…

          However, since they can easily mate with females of other humanoid species, I think the latter is far more likely. How would two penises even work anyway? Do Klingon women have two vaginas? And how would THAT work?

            Not to get too graphic, but human women have two holes very close in proximity to each other.

            ~The rest, as they say, is an exercise for the reader.~

              No, no… Go ahead and get graphic. Draw me a picture and post it.

              See, I wouldn’t know, because I do not have sex with women (human or otherwise). And, being a man, I can’t get my second hole down there, as I’m simply not that flexible.
