If so, maybe she will pull off something.... (1) T'Pau was *not* played by Dame Judith Anderson, but by Celia Lovsky. (2) Dame Judith Anderson played T'Lon (I'm not sure this is right, but it is *definitely* not T'Pau!), a high priestess, not the matriarch of Vulcan. This is certainly not to rule out the possibility that T'Pau is still alive and kicking and can get Kirk off the hook... --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Maynard, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA

The problem is the charges against Kirk *may* be too great for any Vulcan official to reduce. He can not get off completely! Perhaps McCoy and/or Checkov will not be charged, but Kirk (for obvious reasons), Sulu (for his part in helping McCoy escape), Scotty (for sabotaging the Excelsior), and Uhura (for unauthorized use of the transporter equipment) will have to face the music. All the *official* announcements about ST:IV worry me somewhat in that they always refer to the new movie being "offbeat", "not the ordinary ST flavor", etc. I hope they don't plan on making the movie a takeoff on BUCKAROO BANZAI or something!
