Unfortunately, I completely forgot about this episode and so forgot to tape it.
Was Okrand mentioned in the credits? The "Frasier" writers have been
making fun of Noel, the Klingon-speaking Trekker station engineer in a few
episodes. It's just possible - barely - that one of the writers decided to
finally do it right and ask Okrand to translate the line. Whether actor
Kelsey Grammer was able to pronounce it correctly is, of course, another
matter.
BTW, why was Frasier speaking Klingon at his son's bar mitzvah anyway? I
would have thought he would have attempted something in Hebrew.
