You know... I was sitting here bored at work... thinking... and I discovered something interesting...
The original Star Trek was made during the cold war... and it had the Federation (*cough*U.S.*cough*) fighting the klingons(*cough*Russia*cough*). Star Trek Next Generation started in 1987 (around the time the cold war was coming to an end... remember berlin wall fell in 89)and carried on to 94... in it the Klingons(*cough*russians*cough*) were allies to the Federation(*cough*U.S.*cough*). Crazy!
