[QUOTE]Originally posted by darkwing_duck1: [QB] OK, here's the long and the short of it, as I understand the story: Felinoids in general, and the Kzinti in particular, have been favorites of the production crew of Trek for a LONG time. The idea of reintroducing them into Trek has been floating around the "backstage" at least as far back as ST V. The idea keeps getting shot down because: 1. it would theoretically "canonize" a TAS episode. 2. it would mean that Paramount would have to pay royalties to Larry Niven again for use of the Kzin. (This is the SAME reason that Robert Duncan MacNeil's character in Voyager was given a new name and slightly altered history. Originally he was supposed to be Nick Lacarno.) Undeterred, the production team has found ways to give backwards/sideways references to the Kzinti in a number of Trek venues. The feliniod "exotic dancer" on Nimbus III that Kirk fought was unofficially dubbed a "kzinretti", for example. The Tzenkethi are another of those, as is the reference to "The Patriarchy" in the recent "Star Trek Star Charts" book. I for one would think it would be cool to use them straight up as Kzinti in Trek, but I don't see that happening any time soon, to be honest. [/QB][/QUOTE]
