Don't know how many have noticed, but Paramount has very quietly released the next 10 Star Trek episodes for home video. This is (or should be) a popular group, for among the titles in this release are "City on the Edge of Forever" and "Amok Time." There is a special note on the packaging on COTEOF that some sort of special changes were made to the musical score for this particular episode for some unspecified reason. I have been unable to locate them for less than $14.95, and the local video shops have expressed little interest in carrying them as the previous 20 episodes apparently did not sell well. However, they DO seem to be doing well in, of all places, bookstores. Both Waldenbooks and B. Dalton here in Oklahoma City carry the episodes among their "mini-video" department. Also, has anyone seen/read Mark Okrand's recently-released "Klingon Dictionary"? It's a novel-length book going into phenomenal detail about the syntax, structure, pronunciation rules, and grammar of "Klingonese" he prepared for Treks 2 and 3. Its a truly amazing thing to peruse, even for non-Trek fans, because its essentially a bare-bones definition of a completely new language, with a new set of rules and structure....
