That's not really true. If they'd wanted to retcon the ridgies, they'd only
have needed to alter a very few TOS Klingons - Michael Pataki (Korax) to name
one. Any others could have been replaced with bluescreen techniques in the
very few scenes where they used original Klingon footage. Most of the
Klingons in the barroom brawl in Trials And Tribble-ations were new footage
(especially the one with the really *BAD* wig). Korax would have been the
only real problem, since his is a key scene and he's such a memorable
character (in case you're not up on who's who, Korax is the drunken First
Officer who compares Kirk to a Denebian Slime Devil and says the Enterprise
should be hauled away as garbage - one of the best scenes ever in Trek).
