I used to be interested in sussing out the Vulcan dialog from the movies.
Until I discovered that the bulk of it barely even qualified as an English
relex -- just a redubbing of nonsense noises to match English lip movements.
  And what true "Vulcan" vocabulary and grammar Marc Okrand created wouldn't
be enough to fill more than one page of notes, let alone a complete
dictionary of the level that he created for Klingon.
