But in all seriousness, how come we have no celebrity actor providing narration for the Klingon side when we enter a new zone, like Michael Dorn as General Worf?

    Because using Nimoy's narration for the Klingon side also was 100% cheaper than hiring Michael Dorn to do new narration.

    Though I likeWorf I'd rather hear Martok or if possible Christopher Plummer as General Chang again.

    because klingons are monster play right now.. they don't get much love.. the reasons why or how are irrelevant..

    the only important consideration is if they will get as much love/content/etc as the feds when the magical 'PVE Klingon' patch comes.. cuz I won't ever play one unless they do

    - cinematic intro
    - sector voiceovers
    - a full ensign to general episode/quest arc
    - clusters
    - as much explorable space as the feds
    - playable at purchase, a tutorial & levels 1-6 content
    - as many fleet actions & dse's as the feds, and social areas and starbases etc.

    this is what the klingons need and this will give the game a hugely successful dynamic, IMO

    You kidding? These days, Dorn would probably do it for a free Deluxe copy and a case of Zima.

    Even though Martok is quite dead :(, I would LOVE for his voice to be used. But alas, he's dead as a doornail by this time, so Micheal Dorn would be perfect. Unfortunately voice acting is pricey. Would be REALLY nice to have it though.

    Someone could make a rather good living if they could just simply impersonate characters from Star Trek, and sound good doing it.

    because Leonard is a dirty ho and will work for matzo ball soup

    why do you think hes the only one still doing ST stuff besides the occasional public appearence at a con?
    and frankly either hes getting too old for this stuff or he only cares about the money, because I've been less than impressed with his voiceovers on this project, its like hes phoning it in

    So is Spock, as far as anyone in the Prime timeline is concerned.

    In City on the Edge of Never, during Spock's dialogue I was like "C'mon. Nimoy really is gettin a bit gravelly due to age. He doesn't sound like young Spock any more".

    Any why they bothered to get Zach to do some of the voice work is beyond me.

    lucky for me my other head decided to go with a propeller beanie while the rest of me was in tails and tophat.

    I only came for the free drinks and food, imagine my supprise when I walked out with the first prize

    We are the Nimoy. Your series canon will be adapted to survive us. Your narration, as you have know it, is over. Mute is futile.

    Speaking of Christopher Lloyd, did anyone else find it humorous looking back that they used Cmdr. Kruge's Bird of Prey to go back in time?

    lol! That never occurred to me!
    They should have put an easter egg in ST4 and shown the Flux Capacitor in the engine room. :D

    I was just about to post the same thing, Mr Plummer would do an awesome voiceover if they could afford him.
