This actually relates to my previous comment!

EarthGov in general seems to be return by bitter, angry xenophobes. Even the "good" people are, it seems.

It wasn't just a vocal exercise. If I recall correctly, according to Jurasik, if he had to get into character in a hurry, he would leap to his feat, and belt out "MIS-ter Gari-BAL-di!" possibly while pointing aggressively.

In Japan for example they're re-doing Space Cruiser Yamato for no

(It is, of…

Ridgeless Klingons should have been like Garak's exile.
