And what about the TMP foreheads? All non-Human, but all identical, and all different from the look used in STIII and beyond.

Maybe it was a fake forehead. That's why they all looked the same. Or maybe it was the genetic material starting to go back to normal.

AFAIK those "special orders" would involve bestowing temporay or local rank, which would mean one individual simply outranking another, rather than relying on systems to determine precidence among individuals of the same rank. An example would be in basic training for the army all private...

Personally I think they solved the mystery of the Klingon foreheads better than I could have. Which kind of irks me cause I think my imagination is pretty good and I know I wouldn't have came up with that theory.

Has Star Trek ever shown homosexual males in any way? My room mate and I were joking that they 'cured' it in the 21st century (I know its not a disease) and then we realized hey they've actually never shown homosexuals! They've shown bisexual women in the mirror universe but that's the mirror unive...

Vulcans have a yellow ethnicity too don't they? Seems some Vulcans are yellower than others.

In the real life military the default is who's been serving longer (For the Army anyway) but special orders can change that.

I don't know if the Vong really would have postponed it.

Same, but I do like blonds I need variety... maybe that's why my relationships don't work out.

The Empire had a few kinds of ships still in use. Usualy excess ones were sold to the Corporate Sector, the Hutts, or other smaller political groups. The Empire was not the only political organization inside Star Wars. You had the Hapes, Unknown Regions, Hutts, Bothans, Corporate Sector, you name it...

Ah good to hear cause I plan on living forever and I like blonds.

WoW

The thing that messes people up is Lucas has said he can change things. That doesn't mean Star Wars books a...
