Here are all of the identifiable aliens from the STIII bar:
1,2,4 were all coming into the bar as McCoy was. 4 looks like it could be vulcan. 3 was playing that tron-like bi-plane game 5 are obviously tribbles 6 is that idiot alien
there was one other in the background but you really cant tell what it is other than something with what seems to be a blur with big hair etc....

Number 1 Kryten with those Shell Chocolates for ears!!
Seeing as we are talking about the Excelsior Bridge... her picture has JUST been cut out but the officer that stands next to Captain Styles... It's always looked to me like the Same Asian girl on the Bridge of the Grissom. Same coloured uniform etc. Just a really glaring in consistancy. Can anyone post side-by-side pictures??

Who says *any* of these are aliens? Perhaps the kind of people who frequent these kinds of establishments are into wearing weird makeup. Or weird plastic surgery.

Well, yes, but unfortunately we haven't seen UFP citizens being into such extreme body modification as their technology might allow.

Yeah, I always thought the same as well, but now Im not too sure what to think outside of this being a mistake of "stereotyping".
Also, Im not sure if I read this before but I thought I would just reiterate some notes I took from the commentary on the movie:
- Burman Studios (mentioned a page or so back) were responsible for making the aliens, they were also responsible for making aliens in some other more popular movies...of which the Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzi is the only one that comes to mind.
- Okuda notes that the Klingon Bird-of-Prey is 360ft long (110m). The Excelsior is 1531ft (old news, I know) and that Spacedock is roughly 3 miles tall.

Actually one other note from the Okuda commentary...
They mentioned that the despite the Enterprise being considered "old" at 20 years that in reality NASA didnt share the same concerns because the Columbia was first launched in 1981 and yet it was still going strong.
...little did they know that only a few months later that comment would look really ackward.
