From Trek Today (http://www.trektoday.com/news/241104_01.shtml)
Also some more tidbits here (http://www.trekbbs.com/threads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=3641266&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=7&fpart=1).
In an upcoming episode entitlled "Affliction" the Klingons are back, as well as the first appearance of the Rigellians. Phlox and Hoshi are attacked by the Rigellians. Reed and a Klingon are in what appears to be the Columbia's brig. A Klingon is being experimented on by a Klingon scientist who is altering the Klingons forehead!!!
Maybe we get to find out why they "do not discuss it with outsiders."

More direct info at Trek Web (http://trekweb.com/articles/2004/11/24/41a4a3d824586.shtml).
The episode kicks off in an underground Klingon laboratory where a Klingon scientist and General oversee a strange project. Soldiers bring in a captive Klingon warrior and subject him to injection of a green fluid. After a few moments, it seems that the prisoner's forehead ridges bear the brunt of the fluid's effects. We are very likely looking at a canonical explanation for the famous change in makeup between the Klingons of TOS and the Klingons of STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE?
