Fair use rationale for Image:ST-VOY 7 14.jpg

Image:ST-VOY 7 14.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 09:35, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Last paragraph

I doubt Tuvok 'angrily' does anything. He has far more control then that.

cranial ridges

At the time this episode was written and aired, the "virus" from Enterprise had not yet been thought of. According to GENE himself, the Original Series was limited by a real life, 1960s Television BUDGET, and it was not until Star Trek The Motion Picture, and a full fledged Hollywood budget, and finally the Klingons were realized. Based on that logic, and not the fictional, in-universe "virus", the Klingons as they appear in this episode are correct.

Cranial Ridges Part II

The Klingons depicted in this episode have cranial ridges. Since they departed Klingon space at a point concurrent with the original Star Trek series, in which human-looking Klingons were seen, these Klingons were apparently not affected by the Augment virus as seen in the Star Trek: Enterprise episodes "Affliction" and "Divergence." However, it should be noted this episode was written before Affliction.

It should also be noted that the Klingons depicted in this episode aren't the ones who departed Klingon space during the Original Series era -- they are the descendants of those who left Klingon space. I'm not sure this has any bearing on whether they should have ridges or whether they shouldn't have ridges, but from the original wording (quoted above), a reader could infer erroneously that these Klingons are the same ones who set out on their long journey.
