   That's a hellaciously good point. Come to think, given Steewart's   
   acting ability, I think him playing a hard core bastard as the Romulan-   
   bred clone would have been a heck of a contrast to "our" Jean-Luc   
   Picard. It could have been chillingly effective too. Like keep him in   
   shadow up to a certain point and then he is revealed....
