Is the cannon explanation for tos to tng change being a skin disease or something that has infected the whole population?
Comment on What are some of the biggest continuity errors in Star Trek?

Klingons look very different through the various shows. And more than just costuming progress of the time.
TOS: Image
TNG-era, the one I think most people would think of: Image
Discovery: Image
And the latest show, Academy, reverts back to TNG-era style Klingons.

No that is actually somewhat the explanation why they look more human. It is explained in Enterprise, the Klingons try to create some super soldier serum, but that kills them. Phlox helps them create a cure, but that makes them look more humanoid. I think at the end of the episode they say that it might take centuries to revert this effect

Enterprise established it as a result of Klingons experimenting with human augment DNA and it getting out of hand. It probably didn’t need to be addressed in universe, but I thought it was a fun retcon.

Well, at least continuity wise, the Discovery thing works. Because of these shows, it wpukd be Disco -> TOS -> TNG -> Academy
