* ''Tower of Babel'' opens with a Klingon ship crewed entirely by smooth-foreheaded sufferers of the augment virus, and an indication that the High Command is putting such ships on border patrol to get them out of the way because they're an embarrassment. This is clearly intended to explain why TOS Klingons are all plague sufferers; they're the ones on the Federation border. The Fridge Brilliance moment is that it ''also'' explains why TOS Klingons don't talk about honour much; they've already lost it just by having the plague (by this time, most of them would have been ''born'' with it, and ''never'' had Klingon honour, or any hope of getting it). In [=DS9=], Kang, Kor and Koloth have become more concerned with the honour of their houses now that the plague has been cured.
