Wait-a-minute! Are you saying all Klingons are weirdos? Because that sounds a little bit alien racist.

I honestly think they were pretty weird until TNG, as the movies and shows were still trying to nail down their look and culture.  But since this thread is supposed to be nothing more than humorous, you can say that yes, Klingons are weirdos.  Still, I'll be honest that I love his portrayal of Kruge in STIII.

Yeesh, CP3S.  Typical liberal generalization.  Did Christopher Lloyd play all Klingons?  No!

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Gaffer, can I be your Imagination Prince?

Darth Ender, perhaps you should change the thread title to "The Exhaustive List of Movies that Christopher Lloyd  was in , But Didn't Play a Weirdo"   As you have it worded right now, technically any movie that Christopher Lloyd was not in, applied.  For example Casablanca applies, as Christopher Lloyd did not play any weirdo in it.

One flew over the Cuckoos Nest. He wasn't a weirdo, he was just nuts.

Silly CP3S, you know you already are. ^_^

... which is where they jumped the shark and forever became the stupidest race in Star Trek after the Pakleds and Kzinti.

What is your issue with the Kzinti? They weren't specifically created for Trek to begin with. The Slaver Weapon, (their only appearance onscreen in Trek) is one of my favorite TAS episodes.

Where were you in '77?

Whoa! That is really cool. I've never seen TAS, but after you said the Kzinti weren't specifically created for Star Trek to begin with, I looked it up. I think it is really cool Larry Niven wrote an episode of TAS and crossed over a species from his own sci-fi stories.

Yeah, I doubt that would happen these days. Trek wasn't The Amazing Colossal Franchise yet in the early '70's.

To steer things back on topic a tad, I've heard at least one stand up comedian point out Kruge is simply a more evil version of Reverend Jim. ;)

I wonder if there's much of anything Star Trek related that you enjoy ;)

I have no issue with them per se, and I did like the episode, but their actions in the story were pretty dumb (Oh, we found an ancient device from an incredibly powerful civilization with unknown properties - let's start pressing buttons to see what happens).

Well, there's TOS, the first six movies, pre-TNG & ST6 Klingons, Data, at least 60% of DS9, Jadzia Dax ...

Well, there's the first nine seasons of The Simpsons, the original Stargate movie, the OOT versions of ANH & TESB, Vincent Price, a good portion of the Twilight Zone episodes I've seen, Bruce Campbell, Genesis (the band, of course), the first two seasons of Tales from the Cryptkeeper, Michael Jackson (for the most part), many quotations from Shakespeare, Stephen King short stories, at least the first four seasons of Rugrats, many quotations from the Bible, Alanis Morissette (when she's not being overtly New Agey), all the roles I've seen of Jennifer Connelly's outside of the terrible The Day the Earth Stood Still remake, many quotations from Poe, every Nightmare on Elm Street film with Heather Langenkamp, the entire run of Are You Afraid of the Dark? minus a fair number of misfires throughout the final two seasons, pre-1996 Bryan Adams ...

If I had a nickel for every time people pushed buttons they didn't know what they did back in college. An entire class full of Dee Dee's. ;)

I wanted to mount a "self destruct" switch to one of the consoles in the tv studio to see who would dare to push it, but couldn't find such a thing at the time.

Seriously though, if the slaver weapon had come with an instruction manual, the episode would have been really short.
