      We need to do a Shakespeare play performed in the original Klingon it was written in. There's actually videos of that already on RUclips. But it'd be great to be able to watch it while reading the script that shows the klingon being said, and a translation into English underneath every single line.

      later on, the Germans seem to be the Cardassians, a Nation who was famous for their strict compliance, bureaucracy, and enslaving another religion, defaming their sentient rights. (Never thought about it, but it kinda ads up)
      Soo Bajorans r kinda the Jews. Even so we've got the Ferengi, who r the negative stereotype of the Jew, that the Nazis made famous.
