well, perhaps the vulcans evolved; i'm not sure she was emotional.  i think
it was just aloofness.  but i could be wrong.  i dunno.
 
also, i was kind of hoping that the klingons looked the way they did in TOS.
i was hoping they'd elucidate on worf's comment "we don't like to talk about
that" when confronted about how the klingons seem to have changed their looks
over the centuries..   :-)
