The Klingon appearance changes when we get to the films, but it won’t be acknowledged on screen in any way until 1996.

A wall of Trek weapons?  Keep going with the franchise, and eventually you'll need two walls. :D "Casualties" doesn't necessarily mean fatalities; in military terms it can mean both injuries and fatalities.  The Enterprise racks up casualties, but Bones is a really good doctor who prevents them from becoming fatalities. The Klingons originally had a 'Ghengis Khan/Mongolian raiders' vibe (obviously cultural sensitivities have changed significantly since the 1960s), and they got a major upgrade when the franchise started making movies with much larger makeup budgets. Later episodes/series will flesh out Klingon culture a LOT more so than their debut here as brutal one-dimensional villains, and a lot of the foundation for that elevation from one-note baddies is thanks to John Colicos' standout performance as Kor, who plays such a fun adversary here that the Klingons very quickly became beloved by both the fans and the showrunners (Colicos had a long and storied career playing memorable villains and rogues in several different franchises).  You'll eventually get an in-universe explanation as to why there's a different look to the TOS Klingons versus the movie/later series Klingons, but the prosaic answer is "because makeup FX continually gets better."  Pretty much every alien race in Trek gets periodic glow-ups in the makeup department right up through current Trek series Strange New Worlds, so you just kind of get used to the changes in look as you go. Also, the Organian "peace treaty" is also a major bit of Trek lore, and will get referenced a lot in the future.

PSA: For anyone else using Paramount+ on amazon prime, the list of episodes in this season only goes up to episode 23 and beyond that you have to Google the episode to watch it via amazon. No idea why, never had this issue before.

It's a classic villain move to have obvious spying devices everywhere, then when you inevitably capture the heroes, you put them in the same cell together so they can plot and scheme, where your non-obvious spying devices can tell you what they're plotting and scheming about. Might be too devious for the usually straightforward Klingons, but something to keep in mind.

And now she has to watch Enterprise just to understand. 😆

The Klingon culture changes over the episodes and movies in which they're in, and REALLY gets a chance to take off with Worf as a series regular in TNG. At the outset, they're very much an analogue for the Soviet Union. In their introduction in this one, we get the extreme militaristic overtones and Kor's little speech about every Klingon being a cog in the great machine, and hints of secret police/observation, which is a pretty fair representation of Stalinist socialism when viewed from inside their armed forces. This gets more reinforced in the second season in "A Private Little War" (which is absolutely skippable), a very thinly-veiled metaphor for the 1960s proxy war escalations in Southeast Asia by both the USA and USSR. Over time, things get more nuanced; TNG's notions of Klingons being obsessed with personal and family honor (at least visibly), for instance, came later. The Klingon makeup lacks the forehead prosthesis mostly because they had a nearly unlimited budget for "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" and got a little carried away, enough so that their look didn't remotely match the series anymore. But you can see hints of it in Kor's almost tufted near-unibrow, which wouldn't look out of place on a TNG-era Klingon. The dark makeup on Caucasian actors to make them look like a Hollywood take on Mongols hasn't aged well, so, later versions gave us multiple skin tones for Klingons, all of which were treated equally. The makeup and foreheads DID get altered over the years - Worf in early Season One doesn't look a hell of a lot like Worf by the end of the series. But it looks better on Dorn as time goes on, and likely was also done to make it easier/faster to apply every day. "Why do Klingons look different, IN-UNIVERSE" is another topic entirely, and generally one where it's more productive to just pour a stiff drink and talk about something else. I'm fond of Worf's explanation - "we do not talk about it," period. Sort of like the Calvin & Hobbes Noodle Incident.

amazon made this change recently and to use a technical term: it sucks

Let's hear it for the actors who played the Organians, headed by the great John Abbott, who's career went back to the 1930's, and who performed in Hamlet with Olivier, and Peter Brocco, who's career also extended back to the 30's. His appearances include "Spartacus" and "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest." The stories they must have been able to tell.

Just a fun little point: When Kirk and Spock transport down to the planet, there were no civilians visible in frame. As soon as they materialize, there they are! "Cue civilians!" In the plot, this is because they are all illusions/manifestations of energy beings that actually were not there the moment before. (For the production, it makes the transport scene a million times easier, back in the 60's). So much fun, and it works within plot logic!

Casualties in this case doesn’t necessarily mean deaths. A casualty can simply be injuries, which I would assume for “light casualties”.
