( I hope this is enough )



I just watched RASCALS, and this is what I think of it:

  There were quite a lot of incidents that are completely impossible all of
which have been stated numerous times before. I also though it was rather
humorous. Placing Picard, Guinan, Ro, and Keiko in a situation like this is
in interesting way to build a character profile: What would <insert name> do
if he/she had a chance to relive their childhood? I though their responses
were quite interesting.

  Everything considered, I think this episode was just plain funny, too many
holes to be considered valid, but funny nevertheless.

I Agree. Sign that kid up now as Captain for "Star Trek: The Generation
after Next".

With few exceptions, I liked all the parts of this episode where
there were no Ferengi on the screen, and hated all the parts with
Ferengi. The Ferengi are a bunch of sniveling twerps, neither
interesting nor believable, with no redeeming qualities. 
DS9 will have to do better if it expects us to tolerate Ferengi
characters on a weekly basis.

No, no, no!  First there was the show.  The crew (Kirk, Spock, Bones,
etc.) were all obviously Trekkers, and the people watching the show (and not
really doing the trekking) were the Trekkees (the trekking being done TO
them by the television).  Now when the conventions started, the Trekkees
opted to start calling themselves Trekkies, since it looks cuter.  But of
course, some people started having problems distinguishing reality from
fantasy and began to believe that they were actually doing the trekking
(and they also disliked the fact that Trekkies sounded cute).  Thus they
started calling themselves Trekkers.  8-)

Just saw the airing to Fistful of Data's.
Pretty lame really.
It was Stewart's baby, (director) but I was disappointed.
I did like Rascals if that gives you any clue on my taste.

Next week looks good. Quality of Life. THat's Frakes's baby.

It was hard to watch Fistful of Data's because at the same time on 
QVC, that Kirk guy, William Shatner, (the host kept calling him Bill)
was a guest on the show and they were selling TOS items, board games,
plaques, pictures, posters, mugs that showed transporting in action.
Pretty cool.
Shatner has porked out. Move over Scotty.
They had some Trekkies call into the show too. Pretty interesting
listening to them.

Anyone else see this?

Whoops, you're right.  As you might have guessed, I waffled for a while
which grade the episode should have gotten.  I finally just decided that
the battle scene made the episode SO implausible (and it was at best a C+
episode to begin with) that the final grade should be D+.

That'll teach me to change my mind! :-)

There may be spoilers here if you haven't seen most of the episodes.
 
It seems to me there are certain plots which get re-cycled over and
over again in TNG.  For example:
 
1. The crew are being used for experiments.  (e.g. Schisms, Where
Silence Has Lease, plus the episode where Picard is abducted and
replaced by an evil twin)
 
2. Time travel.  This always involves the Enterprise going back in
time, or encountering people from the past.  They never explore the
future.  (e.g. Time Squared, Time's Arrow, Yesterday's Enterprise,
and the episode where three frozen people are revived).  They seem
to be especially pre-occupied with 19th and 20th century earth, e.g.
when Data conjures up a comedian in the holodeck, he chooses a 20th
century earth comic.
 
3. Medical problems.  (Shades of Gray, Unnatural Selection, Identity
Crisis, The Naked Now)
 
4. Mind control / possession.  (The Battle, Conspiracy, The Schizoid
Man, Violations, The Mind's Eye)
 
5. Ship takeover.  Evidently driving the Enterprise through outer
space is like parking a Camaro in a bad neighborhood -- someone is
always trying to steal it.  (e.g. 11001001, The Game, Conundrum,
Power Play)
 
6. The transporter does something unusual.  TOS used the transporter
this way several times, such as the time Kirk was split into his
yin and yang halves, or the time the away team was beamed to an
alternate universe in which Spock wore a beard.  TNG has recently
resorted to this lame plot device: The Next Phase (or is it A New
Phase?), Realm of Fear, Relics, Rascals.
 
7. It's all just an illusion.  These are the episodes which feature
a holodeck fantasy, one of Q's play-worlds, or some other type of
unreal non-happening.  (e.g. Future Imperfect, Qpid, The Inner Light)
Needless to say, putting someone in a dangerous or interesting
situation and then >poof!< "it was all just a dream" is the most
feeble, amateurish, juvenile type of writing there is.
 
8. A completely botched first encounter with an unfamiliar species.
Examples: Justice, Home Soil, Who Watches the Watchers, First Contact,
Galaxy's Child.  Judging by their track record, the Enterprise crew
should _never_ be allowed to initiate contact with a new species.
 
9. Encounters with omnipotent beings.  (Hide and Q, The Survivors)
 
10. Episodes featuring traumatized children (The Bonding, Hero Worship,
Suddenly Human)
 
In my insufficiently humble opinion, the best episodes are those which
do not fit into these formulas.

Does anyone know whether any of the ST:NG episodes that have aired
have had scripts written by a fan, as opposed to Paramount people?
I keep hearing in this group about fans submitting scripts, but it
seems a bit unlikely of a proposition.

Makes you wonder why Riker didn't put force fields up when the Ferengi
beamed over.  Instead he locked up the computer and got caught.  He was
lucky they didn't execute the children one-by-one instead of just begging
him to help them.  Ferengi (and script-writers) aren't very smart, are they?

Why is Worf such a bad shot?  Picard should make him get target practice
with Guinan again.

How did the Enterprise, with no crew, manage to take on the Klingon
cruisers once Jean-Luc had taken the bridge once again?  Or did ALL the
Ferengi beam over?  Stupid Ferengi or no money for special effects?  Deep
Space 9 must be costings a lot to put together.

Do you think the Klingons will by this "non-alligned" Ferengi BS?  Or will
they wipe those "monkey-boys" off the face of the galaxy?  At least, will
the Klingons extradite them and make them stand trial for stealing Klingon
ships?

  Great lines!  Believeable acting (even from Alexander)!  Great scenes with
  Spot (who did what my cat is doing right now.  Get *off* the modem...)!

  I only had two problems (and one's not really a problem, and neither has much
  to do with the episode itself):  (1) I was saddened that Troi smoked.  Does
  Marina?  (2) My first reaction when Worf shot the gun out of "Data's" hand
  was "Impossible!  Worf's not that good a shot." ;)

  Finally, a real bright spot in season six!

Subject says it all.  I walked into it saying "Spock's Brain, Spock's

I really enjoyed the repartee between Guinan and Ro.  Both jumping
on the bed was classic!

The child actors they chose for each cast member was right on.  I
almost thought that TNG couldn't do child shows AT ALL!

The end was perfect, and summed up the episode:  never forget the 
child within.  Kind of like the movie "Big"...

Hiya Tom. What's new? Busy lately I would guess...

I am off on Fri and Mon and Tue and Wed. It's almost like I'm having a break... Star Trek might look really hokey Fri, but if there's going to be a do...

And how did Matt react when he saw me. Short version of the story would be he was spreading rumors about me that were started by my girlfriend at the time's ex. Among being bi-sexual, he also was spreading that I was only going out with her for the carnal reason, and her having been a vierge previous to us, I wanted to nip those rumors before she caught wind of that one in particular. This loser ex of hers hid from me every time I searched for him, but then I chance met Matt, who was continuing these rumor


s. I confronted him, but we didn't come to blows.

I had already heard rumors regarding Matt's orientation, but I did not care even then, and it wasn't my business to investigate or spread them further. Quite a shock when he walked in...still a nice guy though, apologizing again for such an old grievance...

So I will chat with you later. Bye dude...

It was not a Golden Retriever!  It was an Irish Setter.  And a very nice

looked better than Bev has in a LONG time.  The four legged one also said
much more intelligent things than the normal pseudo-medical garbage that
