I like how we converted you from "Klingon Battle? It'll never work!" to "Here's the shots you need to do it!"

:-D

Oh, no doubleofive. That's not what I'm saying. I KNOW it won't work. But gosh, I'm having a ball in trying to think of ways so it can. I guess the only thing in my point of view that doesn't ring right is the complete lack of dialogue concerning the klingons. But that's pretty much it.

We can always go the JJ Abrams route by having all the important information be said over background com chatter...... /shiver. I hated that.

- "You should see this! It looks like a lightning storm!" Important information later on
- "Please advise Captain Robau that Starfleet recommends you to proceed with caution." The Captain's name
- "Repeat, could this be klingon? Negative Lieutenant. You're still 75,000 kilometers-" Establishes it's near Klingon Space
- "Engineer Olsen, report!" Establishes that redshirt Olsen is the ship's engineer
- "Deflector shields are holding!" Ya, right
