Oooo. This will be interesting. It seems that the Klingons come in quite abruptly. Will there be any shots of the Klingons where they pick up the first klingon cruiser and lay in an intercept course for the cloud? The trick about this added sequence is why the Klingons would openly attack the Enterprise when the threat is obviously the big blue cloud. Do they assume that the Federation had something to do with it?

Doh, I'm asking too many questions. I want all the masters of all the Klingon sequences! We need more footage!

I like the idea of the Klingons laying in a course. The establishing shot that zooms on the bridge of the ships could be used, with some rearranged shots of the interiors to make new dialog about laying in a course. We could put whatever we wanted on the viewscreens. I wish the subtitles weren't burnt into the image...

They would attack the E because its KIRK! Everybody wants a piece of him! ;-) But seriously, maybe they are afraid the E is going to destroy it before they do, honor and glory and all that.
