I agree. This is a case where I felt like the acting (aside from Dukat who was fun to watch) let down the premise. The Maquis seems like an interesting concept for an ongoing story, but I dunno, I just wasn't feeling it.  (Note, I went ahead and watched part II already, and I was kind of "meh" on how it ended)

@avclub-2b4398f8c60d5dd9b8e3c786a3745192:disqus Similar, but not exactly. *ENTERPRISE SPOILERS* In Enterprise the "human looking" Klingons were a result of Klingon scientists messing around with the DNA of human "augments" (the products of the Eugenics Wars, like Khan) which got into a virus that infected normal…

"The bit I was focused on this time is the end, when Kang thanks Dax for
"leaving the kill for him."  There's almost a respect to it, like he's
flat-out endorsing the fact that she'd freeze up in that situation, and
be a new person rather than an old man playing Klingon."

Also, I could have sworn that Kirk mentions T'Pau being hundreds of years old in "Amok Time". But I'd have to re-watch to confirm that.

That's pretty standard in speculative fiction.  All of the good races in Tolkien (for instance) live far longer than humans (unless you count the Dunedain with their elvish blood). Most alien races in sci-fi tend to be long lived as well. In both cases it's because it's easier to make a point about humanity by showing…

Kor and Koloth also both appeared in episodes of the Animated Series. So while they aren't iconic characters by any means, I'd say they achieve the status of significant recurring characters. Which is kind of neat.

How the hell does one get "punk" from something like "Ballet For a Rainy Day"?  Bizarre.

I agree. The movie still has problems, but I thought the Director's Cut improved it.

It's also pissing on the acting of David Prowse. He gives a pretty darn good performance in that scene, portraying Vader's inner conflict simply through his movements, despite the lack of the tool of facial expression to express emotion.  "Noooo!" removes all subtlety and alters the performance from how it was…
