[net.startrek] Identity crisis

This is being forwarded through me to NET.STARTREK (for the nonce). I only 
do some basic formatting and I am not responsible for its content. All 
responses sent to me will be forwarded to the author. 

 
HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS?  In the "Star Trek"
episode "Amok Time", the matriarch T'Pau, the only person ever
to turn down a seat on the Federation council, is played by
Celia Lovsky.
 
In "Star Trek III:  The Search for Spock", the matriarch T'Lar, whose
views of and relationship to the Federation council are not on record,
is played by Dame Judith Anderson.
 
They are not the same person.  They are not the same person.  Sheesh!
There's no reason anybody should pay attention to who played whom
(I had to look the information up myself), but it's irresponsible
to make assertions about it when you haven't been paying attention.
And it does seem reasonable to expect anybody with sufficient interest
in the matter to concoct theories about what happens next, to first
get straight who the characters are, regardless of who plays them.
Why waste your time theorizing from false data?
