Slate has an interesting comparison of how torture was handled in a TNG episode (I forget the name) and the new movie.
The link can be found here.
Interesting. That was one of my favorite next-Gen episodes.
that worm thing totally freaked me out, almost as much as the Ceti Alpha V eel worm things. But it didn’t get into the same questions that the four lights bit did.
Also from Slate there’s an article on Klingon, the language, for those who might be interested. Linky-link.
Big slimy worm…BIG SLIMY WORM!!!
