Hi all, I posted this before, and it seems like it didn't get out to the
world, so, here goes again....

I don't remember if I saw this in a FAQ or not, but in any case, I'm
wondering if there is a list of ST books (not the stories), both canon and
non-canon, with maybe a description of the contents as well.  Specifically,
I'm trying to find a book that I think is titled "Starships of the
Federation" or something like that.  I saw it once when I was on a trip,
didn't buy it, and now I can't find it in any of my local bookstores
(So. Cal area).  Any clues?  Is the book any good??

Thanks for the help in advance.  :-)

Dennis Cuy

P.S.  I'm still new at posting, so, I'd like to avoid the flames for a little
      bit still.  Thanks  :-)

Does anyone know why the TNG episode "The High Ground" will
not be shown in Britain?  A network called Sky has supposedly
picked up ST:TNG, yet they (also the BBC) would not air the show.
Anyone know why?

They do. In ZDF on Friday, 16:05 there is TNG, now third Season, on SAT.1
there is the First Series on Saturday, 13:35 and Sunday 14:05.

Along those same lines, the name Montgomery (for Montgomery Scott) is James
Doohan's middle name (or the name of one of his relatives, I can't remember

Here in Boulder, I have seen the Colorado license plate "MERDE," which
obviously got through the license bureau intact.  So you may be right
about people not knowing about French (at least in this neck of the
woods).

Come to think of it, that might be a good "Picard-plate" (unless you

Crossing space isn't like crossing the ocean, there's A LOT more space
to cover.  I'd think that someone would rather sink money into a
faster engine to get myself where I needed to go.  Even an increase to
warp 6 shouldn't be that big of an upgrade from warp 3.

Ok, when he's in a shipping lane or being scanned by a starship.  Not

is ridiclulous.

Add to this, Narendra III, named after Naren <Somebody> who works on the

any idea who this means?

Maybe because most of us folks up here in Washington (the real Washington, you

No offense but.... it really doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure THAT

So, again, there is no question, no search, no quest. Kirk & company was

That's what I called pointing out the obvious. Would you care if they make
a Star Trek movie about the importance of brushing our teeth before going
to bed? Maybe I am particularly serious about this topic, but I think the
search of god is the ultimate quest of mankind, the true final frontier
of knowledge, and ST V trivialized it as if it is somekind of a storybook
with a moral for a five years old.

In California, at least, the DMV checks a truly awesome range of
languages, and even if this were seven characters or less I doubt
it would get by.  In fact, they check so many languages that quite
innocent requests have a good chance of being rejected as "obscene".
My first attempt at "Final Frontier" was "FNL FRTR" and was so
rejected.  Now I have "FNL FNTR" which I have come to prefer anyway.
