A story on "Incubus" was also featured recently on National Public Radio. Included were interviews with the filmmakers and a short audio clip of Shatner speaking some of his dialogue. He sounded pretty good, actually.

Klingon made its premier in Star Trek III: Search for Spock. There were more extensive passages in Star Treks V and VI.
