What about Affliction and Divergence for their Klingon forehead explanation?
Good catch.
So, along with DS9's "Resurrection" and "The Emperor's New Cloak", we probably need to add those two as well...

I have it; it's quite fun! But my version has black box art, not white.
Never released, though, was:

You or Bjo should contact Mike Okuda for background information on the TOS-remastered ships. He provided us (the folks at Memory Alpha) with lots of background information concerning the registries and names of shuttles and starships seen in the remastered episodes. Those bits would be great for the new Concordance.
Info from a graphic often seen in DS9, featuring TOS aliens and their homeplanets, might be useful to include too:

The graphics and the text were compiled from the Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual co-written by Doug Drexler who put those graphics in the DS9 episodes. A clear shot of the graphic can be found in the The Making of Deep Space Nine

So the new Concordance is now including everything that features or references characters from TOS, regardless of the portrayer? Then you'd also want to include the "Demons"/"Terra Prime" 2-parter which references (and depicts) Colonel Green.
If you're broadening it beyond characters to story elements like the Klingon forehead thing, then the list would be more expansive. "Fight or Flight" features the Axanar. "Civilization" features the Malurians from "The Changeling." There's an episode where Phlox feeds a tribble to one of his pets. One episode references the dragons of Berengaria VII. And so on.

I knew I was missing some Enterprise episodes.
And I've mentioned the idea to Bjo about joining forces with Mike Okuda and his notion of updating the Encyclopedia (she's already going to be contacting him to get the scripts of the episodes I've listed so far).

I'm using some of those drawings as placeholders in the lexicon.
That's a great book. It features a future Periodic Table of the Elements.
I've got that copied, in case a need arises.
"Observer Effect" features the Organians and "Bound" features some Orions.
"These are the Voyages..." has a tiny, pointless cameo from the TOS Enterprise at the end. It looks really nice.
The episode also shows the birth of the Federation - I'd imagine that would be important enough to include, but it opens the floodgates to all the "Coalition of Planets" episodes and the question of if the Coalition is the Federation by another name, or a predessesor that collapsed prior to 2161.

I suppose anything with Orions needs to be included. Luckily, "Bound" is also the one that has the reference to Berengaria VII (gotta love a two-fer).
And I suppose "These Are The Voyages.." merits a mention, with the caveat that the holodeck simulation might be off on some of the finer details.

As of now, the panel at Starfest will be Saturday (April 17th), 6 pm, in Panel 1.
Fortunately, I just finished up my Powerpoint presentation and audio track.

Yeah, anything with Orions needs to be included, but ignore a major feature film with the original characters AND Leonard Nimoy in it. Makes perfect sense.
Indeed...that's an awful lot of Enterprise being included (I could see as many as half the episodes of that series including at least one blatant TOS reference) for someone who thinks including a single film is "too much work."
Klingons and Romulans and Vulcans are from TOS, too, just like the Orions. Better include every episode that has any of them in it.
Or better yet scrap ALL the entries pertaining to Enterprise and mention it only in passing in Bjo's introduction. Considering how many Klingons, Romulans and Vulcans and Andorians and Augments found their way onto Enterprise it might tack on an extra 1200 pages to the book!
Star Trek was just a two hour movie. Enterprise was on for four fucking years and there was a goddamn Vulcan in every episode! There was also a ship named Enterprise in every episode! By Bob's reasoning Bjo should be about twenty years dead by the time he's able to type up a volume sufficient to contain everything that Enterprise added to Classic Trek's alien characters.
