I know this is never gonna happen. Glad the people who have been petitioning in years past didn’t get a table this year. It’s nice to discuss what might have been but realistically we need to move on. Certainly Terry will jump on this if offered the chance but let’s not hold our breath.

In 1967, perhaps. The movie versions sort of took a step back from 1:1 interpretations. If anything, the Romulans are a better simile to the (Cold war/Soviet) Russians from a Western standpoint.

TL;DR — don't let Matalas anywhere near your favourite franchise.
