[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reginald Barclay: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Vogon Poet: [qb]So, not only should aliens talk like Americans, act like Americans, and look like Americans, but they should also have American names as well? Right.[/qb][/QUOTE] I bet Linda Park has received lots of unwelcome comments from narrowminded people with this attitude. "Gee, you don't look like a Park. You look like a Chan or a Mitsubishi or something. Everyone knows Park is a name for white people, like Bert Parks." It's like saying an ET can't be named Jimm because he's not American. It might be a perfectly good name in his language, but it roils your ethnocentric sensitivities. Let's kill two birds with one stone. Bring in Alan Rickman as Dr. Lazarus. He doesn't act or talk like an American and he has a real name, not something artificially alien like Splox or Feklar. [/QB][/QUOTE]
