Poor Finland. I think the only reason it exists is to have a language
in which to dump all the consonants no one else uses.

Finnish is the language with perhaps the largest percentage of vowels
of any written language, so I don't understand what you are trying to
say. It's the completely unrelated Slavic languages that can have up
to 5-6 consonants in a row.

But yes, "Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning" is very funny and highly
recommended material for Star Trek and/or Babylon 5 fans. It's funny
and entertaining.

(One of the little tidbits of how well though-out the film is:
both Mr. Fukov (parody of Mr. Chekov from Star Trek) and Fester-Bester (Bester from B5) are portrayed by the same guy, Janos Honkanen. As we
all know, ST's Chekov and B5's Bester are portrayed by the same guy,
Walter Koenig. Got a big chuckle when I realized why Janos had a
double role. <<

That's a great tip. I haven't watched this in years, but this is a reason to
go back and revisit it. Cute!
