With their bumpy prosthetic foreheads, their flowing white locks and their aggressive, militaristic attitude towards restoring the honor of their people (well, if Vorus is anything to go by), the Vogans resemble a certain warlike Star Trek race more than anything else we've ever seen in Who, before or since.

I hereby move that we should rechristen them... as the BLINGons.
Hey, there wasn't ever a showdown between the Klingons and the Borg in ST:TNG, was there? If there had been, I think there'd be a strong argument that the whole Star Trek relaunch might have been cribbed from a long-forgotten viewing of Revenge of the Cybermen, on some subconscious level...
