Added a reply to your last post in my previous one. :) Go back and read it.
Talking about Star Trek, I presume... what do you mean, no one can use it again? Now, it is true that it's common now to have aliens speak made up "alien" languages just like subtitled foreign languages are more common in some movies and TV shows for the foriegn people or people in foreign locations. But really, it's still very common in scifi to have aliens inexplicably (or barely explicably) all speak English (if perhaps with an accent of some kind)...
Quote:Yes, the effect was nice, but of course now no one can use it again because it's been done before and it's too... nichy... I don't know the word for it... It would be like using Star Wars screen swipes in every movie from now on just because it worked great for them or something...
So, just put it in your head from the start that hey, they ARE speaking their original language, I'm just a genius.
