TUC... Klingot President?

[Praetor]

Yeaaah... I don't get that.

There is actually one version of the Ferengi concept art by Andrew Probert that is in 'The Art of Star Trek' that makes them look more angular, alien, and threatening. The rest was in the handling.

Really, TPTB should have seen that it was all in the handling.

 

[Hober Mallow]

Now, a Horta would have been awesome! Can you imagine the Klingons and Cartwright trying to kill someone who looks like a pan pizza?

You mean this guy?

I was actually surprised when I realized the TOS back-consistency of the movie aliens, particularly those seen in TVH and TUC.

We got Andorians in TMP because they were favourites of Fred Phillips, but he was challenged to make them more believable.

But... the Tellarites of ST IV are wearing the TMP Kazarites' robes. The ST IV Zaranites are called Zaranites only because FASA's RPG authors noticed the reuse of the breathing masks. The clothes of the TMP Zaranites and Arcturians are worn by humans/humanoids in ST IV. So it was more of a fluke there was any overlap, really.

It's been stated that the reason we didn't see any Andorians... was because Rick Berman thought they were silly.

Yeah, he said that Andorians were "hokey", and reminded him of bad SF aliens of the 50s. It was only miniaturization of radio-controlled electronics that permitted the Andorians to emerge as major antagonists in ENT. The original proposal was "The Gorn Incident".

Ah. Well, crap.

That still bothers me. I think I'd have almost rather had a Klingot.

Hey Praetor, the guy in your av looks a little bit like the SlapChop guy.

 

[Praetor]

Hurm. Kirk's son looks like the slapchop guy? Maybe, but I'm reasonably sure David Marcus didn't beat his hookers. As Kirk's son, he wouldn't need hookers.

*gasp* PIZZA THE HUT!

Look at these two pictures....

I realize the Federation President is an Efrosian while the Klingon Ambassador is obviously Klingon, but they look very similar and when they're in the same room together, the general audience must have been confused as to why a Klingon was the President of the Federation (I know I was at one point).

I would have been about nine years old when I first saw that movie. I never confused the Federation president with a Klingon. I think the modern audience is just plain dumber.

David Marcus can just bat his eyes at a woman with a tinfoil bikini and she'll be wrapping her tentacles around him in under 0.69 seconds!

Exactly. His surname may be Marcus, but his blood is still Kirk.

They look a little alike.But there are differences too.

Saavik would have ended up preggers if reborn and hormonal Spock hadn't gotten to her first.

Electra, thy name is Saavik.

Saakvik's kid was born with curly blond hair. Amanda claims its from her side of the family.

Does anyone here believe she actually had someone's kid... or is that on the cutting room floor for everyone?

KIRK:"Spock...it's not YOUR kid. It's MY grandkid.


Long story."

MAURY: "One's a half-Vulcan hybrid and science officer on a Federation starship...the other's a red-blooded American guy with captain's braids on his sleeves. Which is the father? We find out TODAY...on Maury!"

 

[ambessalion]

The resemblance is superficial at best....

 

[TenLubak]

I never thought he was a Klingon. I did think the U F P prez looked like an old man, never realized he was an alien til reading Titan #1 and it reafered to the El Frozian. Then I was like ohh, yea.....somehow put it together.
