Monday, November 30th, 2009Last week I Twittered about the Klingon Christmas Carol production by a Minnesota theater company under the misguided mission to “…expand our horizons and share knowledge of all cultures, translating between languages…” Well, that’s the sort of ridiculous open-minded thinking that leads to pretend Star Trek space-aliens in rubber masks doing classic holiday plays in [...]
