One other thing I missed out of this. In the middle is a pull-out map of
the galaxy, with positions of the various empires, wormholes and TV
series. If you look, you will notice that the Klingon Empire has to go
*through* the Federation to get to Cardassia...no wonder Gowron was so
ill-tempered in "Way of the Warrior" - he must have been sneaking all
the way through the Federation cloaked!
Tomorrow I'll post the Klingon included in the Radio Times magazine
itself...nothing stunning, just stuff from TKD. Nice to see the language
getting treated responsibly though, nad not derided as a 'waste of time'
or 'sad trekkieness'. Okrand's article says quite a bit about how he
loves the way the language encourages people to be more interested in
languages in general, particularly Terran ones.
