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.
