There are times when information on-air is contradictory, but not in this case. It is very clear that Klingons *did* once look as they did in TOS. Worf, O'Brien, Bashir, etc., all acknowledged that. The information has never been contradicted on-screen. --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: <<<>>> (1:205/1701.6) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 108 STAR TREK Ref: EGL00010 Date: 12/16/97 From: MICHAEL MAREK Time: 07:44am \/To: PETER LUTZ (Read 0 times) Subj: Approx release of 9th movie?

PL> Heard he's been signed since Sept, along with Stewart... PL> (LOcal T.V. news blerb about the salaries for both actors..) This rumor was started because CNN misquoted another publication. The original report was simply that Spiner had not yet signed, because they were still working out some details. CNN blew that up into a refusal to sign and an impasse in negotiations, mostly on salary. --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: <<<>>> (1:205/1701.6) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 108 STAR TREK Ref: EGL00011 Date: 12/15/97 From: JIM BUNTJER Time: 02:59pm \/To: RAYMOND BROWN (Read 0 times) Subj: A Christmas Carol RB> No, not really.
