Just FYI the reason the Romulan ship looks as it does is that while script was in development Roddenberry suggested (I have the memo) that as a money-saving measure the story could include an espionag ...

Speaking of Predator 2, I recently dug up Predator 2 suit. Craig Caton-Largent of Digital Domain took this pic of me and the BIG bad at the SIGgraph show.

I've done script consulting for Jeffrey Morris, one of which was a feature-length script version of Oceanus, for which the short was a proof-of-concept.

He's currently filming a documentary called ...
