Incidentally, small point here, but I feel I have to make it: everyone 
has been calling him Minister "Kafka," and while that's certainly 
humorous (he does look sort of bug-like), it's actually "Kafta." 
According to SciFi's credits page (which is necessary, as they SQUASHED 
the credits even on the _first_ run of the film, arggghhhh!!!), the 
correct spelling of the various alien names new to us are as follows:

Dulann
Na'Feel
Minister Kafta
Tafeek
Firell
Tirk
Sindell

Which is a middle-eastern term for a kind of meatball.

See, I was writing, it was late, I was having some hummus, some pita, some
khibbe and some kafta, I needed a name...you get the picture.

It was either that or Minister Khibbe.
