I suppose the problem with Klingons would be over which style of Klingons to put in a future movie: the original smooth-headed ones or the more familiar ridge-heads? Most likely the latter, but you know some fans would bitch about that.

Meh, they already explained it too much on "Enterprise." My favorite explanation was from DS9, where Worf just said it's not something they discuss with outsiders. Leaves a lot to the imagination, just like Boba Fett should've been.

Actually, FASA games back in the 1980's came up with a really good explanation which I'm surprised Berman and company didn't lift from it: the reason the Klingons look more human in the 1965 series is that they are human-klingon hybrids created to better interact and infiltrate the Federation. In the FASA game, the Klingons had Human and Romulan "fusions", and the bone-headed Klingons were the "Imperial" pure-bloods. It would have made a great lead-in for the whole "civil war" thing in the NG series...
