I stated some time ago that Paramount seems to have developed a thing against Romulans. In STII, we hear talk about the "Klingon Neutral Zone", which looks suspiciously like the Romulan Neutral Zone. In STIII, we hear about the "Klingon Bird of Prey" (?!), The "Klingon Cloaking Device", etc. But more importantly, those guys that killed David ACT LIKE ROMULANS! I contend that they were originally written as Romulans and that somebody who knows nothing about what they're doing stuck their nose in the screenwriter's business and screwed things up. Watch STIII again sometime and then see if you can look me straight in the CRT screen tell me that those are Klingons. -- Mark -- -- Mark A. ...{uw-beaver|fluke}!ssc-vax!adolph "1 + 1 = 1, for sufficiently small values of 1..."
