If possible, *never* use the TV shows or movies as guidelines for 
pronunciation.  At their best, they are only mediocre.  At their worst, they are 
gibberish and useless, if not outright wrong.  As Voragh has mentioned, TKD has 
descriptions of the sounds, and the two tapes, Conversational Klingon and Power 
Klingon, are done by Okrand himself.
