I remember reading in BusinessWeek or WSJ that this was the last season of TNG. The cast's contracts are up although there might be a movie or two. DS9 was 
launched now to transfer viewership to the successor series. The original Para- mount aim was for 5 (6?) years of episodes to mine in the syndication market
and take the show off before it wore out. Notice that they're starting marketing episodes of TNG on videotape now

According to the novelization of the DS9 episode _Emissary_ by 
J.M. Dillard, O'Brian was awarded his transfer from the Enterprise to
the station along with a promotion from Chief Petty Officer to Ensign.

I loved _Best_Destiny_.  After seeing the resemblence to Wes Crusher

actor that played young Indiana Jones in the TV "..Chronicles" series
seems a good choice to play young Kirk.  --BobD

That's nice, but according to the movie, it was because the Klingons
would detect the translator.  Sorry, but I'll have to believe the movie
over the novelization on this.

As someone else said, they didn't use the translator because the scene
was done for comedy relief.  (Unless, when the translator is activated,
it automatically informs the other ship of its use.  But that's
probably wrong.)

Let me amend this to ... but THE scene was cut ...

She actually did a bit more than was ever shown.  A scene where she
'properly' kissed her screen husband goodbye never made it past the
cutting floor.

That is not quit true.  On the video version of THFRO there is a small
scene in the beginning of the film, where you do see Gates.
the scene is between Jack saying good by to his daughter:
Gates" Jack, you're going to be late" (or something like that)
the next scene is the land rover pulling up th Hethro (sp) Airport.

Not true!  You get more points from Starfleet if you disable the

Hi. My professor of electromagnetism told the class that the warp speed
function is:

               velocity= (5^warp)*c    (new series)

       and     velocity= (2^warp)*c    (old series).


This would mean that even at warp 1, the ships are moving faster than
light. Surely, the show creators would realize this? Does anyone know
what the velocity functions are?

   As someone who saw the movie three times at the theatre, the scene of
real Kirk getting shot at (as in the advertising) wasn't in the original
movie either.  My guess is it's probably an outtake that they decided to
use for the ads, or in the final edit, they decided to change the scene.

Perhaps in the book, the translation was meant to be "a ship named Maru",
but in the real world, at just about any Pacific harbor, you'll see 
several Japanese ships, all with the names "_________ Maru" (you choose
to fill in the blank with an appropriately unpronouncable Japanese word).
Maru does in fact mean something equivalent to "ship".   The author of
the Kobyashi Maru book just took some liberties.

The following text is quoted from the episode "Time Squared" (Hopefully
Paramount won't sue me for this!)

---begin---

"Captain's log, stardate 42679.2. While on route to the Endicor system,
we have encoutered a federation shuttlecraft, which seems to have appeared
from nowhere. We have no indication where it came from or how it got out
here."

<a little later -- Data and LaForge in the shuttlebay>

LaForge: "Hey Data, take a look at the stardate: 42679.5." <Taps his
communicator> "Captain!"

Picard: "Go ahead."

LaForge: "Captain, we've been able to reactivate the shuttle and the onboard
clock indicates that the shuttle is six hours in front of us."

---end---

According to this .1 stardates is two hours, so 1 stardate would be 20 hours.
Assuming that each year contains 1000 stardates, this would mean that each
year contains 20000 hours which is 833.33 days. Another YATI?

It seems that this discussion will never stop... I sincerely hope Mike
Okuda's book will explain all this!

Not fer nothin', but the term is "Suspension of disbelief" and it 
refers to the reader(or viewer) being willing to "put on hold their 
realization that the book, movie, play or TV show they are seeing is 
only fiction, in order to "become involved in the story".  

The difference between Sci-fi annd Fantasy is that sci-fi(at least good 
sci-fi) establishes rules at the beginning of the story that it holds 
to throughout, while Fantasy is not restricted to such rules.

Well, it was already done once on the series where they fell into a
"fantasy Star Trek universe" while he was trying to figure out the
female mind.

His overracting was priceless.  And quite perfectly done.

Well, I'm sure you'll get a bit of flaming on this one, so I'll just say
nicely, there are (monthly?) posts called FAQ (freuantly asked questions)

As stated above, there are the FAQ's, but I still think you're idea has REAL
merit. First, FAQ's are not descriptive enough for new comers to read them 
(I know I didn't when I started a few months back). Second, they're not posted
enough. Third, they are TOO LONG! I remember someone saying to read the FAQ's 
to me when I first started here. When the FAQ's *finally* where posted, I 
didn't have the time nor the desire to sift through 1000+ lines per each FAQ
to get the knowledge on what to and what not to post in each group. 

In closing, good idea. Anyone know who to talk to about getting it started?

Does this sound familiar<G>?
