Klingon Ambassador Dak'Rah Boards The U.S.S. Enterprise | Star Trek Strange New Worlds Season 2 

Or at the very least played a subdued version.

I think that's the point. He chose federation, he was no longer with the klingons

@@anne.andromeda Allegedly

I think modern Star Trek is trying to pretend that didn't happen

@@anne.andromeda this is why I don’t watch them very often, unless it’s a. Alternate timeline like the movies did, that makes it more sense

Probably not. After all the augment virus only messed with 2 colonies of klingons

True. however with the political climate of things , that would not likely be acceptable today.

simple answer, time travel fuckery, star trek had so many time travel plots that really the OG timeline is kinda no longer exists.

They had BOPs in ST: Enterprise. Relax, dude.

⁠@@filthycasual8187also, the line in TOS is merely "Klingons now using Romulan design" (so they could reuse footage from Balance of Terror) which doesn't mean they weren't using Birds of Prey until then - just that they weren't using *that specific design* of Bird of Prey until then

Yawn ... someone (other than me making this post) has waaaaay too much time on their hands...
