He isn't? Gosh, news to me. Looked at in that way, Holmes (the fictional
character) probably really is an ancestor to Spock (the fictional
character) - that is, Spock's creators must have been somewhat influenced
by Holmes when they developed Spock's character.

Eric:

I think that scene was in Best of Both Worlds, part I.  Apparently a lot of
people got very irate that some of us (myself included) read that scene to 
imply that Picard and Guinan had once had a sexual/romantic relationship.
I don't know why that is, perhaps a bit of racism.  I thought it was an
interesting idea, since Guinan would be an intellectual challenge for Picard.
I also liked the interracial aspect (or should that be interspecial?).

I disagree.  Data is constantly pursuing his goal of becoming more
human (remember the beard?), and altering his skin tone could be seen
as being another step in that direction.  He seemed to be concerned
about skin color when he created Lal, why wouldn't he become concerned
about his own?

The use of the word "ensign" *may* imply a pun on military rank; however, this 
definition is *not* the intended meaning in the title of the episode.  An 
"ensign" is also "a badge or mark of rank, command, or power" and, even more 
generally, just a "sign or emblem [of command or of creativity, in this case]".

You forgot:

Dr. Crusher's outfit (the time when she and Data joined Picard on a

I think Guinan also went on a trip with Picard once, and she was dressed
for it.

Ha!  You folks don't know what Star Trek heaven is!  Here in NJ, I
get both the Philly and NYC TV markets through cable.  How about these 
stats:

	WTXF 29 Philly	WPIX 11 NY**	Daily totals
Mon.     1 TNG, 1 TOS	  1 TNG		     3
Tues.    1 TNG, 1 TOS     1 TNG		     3
Wed.     1 TNG, 1 TOS     1 TNG		     3
Thrus.   1 TNG, 1 TOS     1 TNG		     3

Sat.	 1 TNG*, 1 TOS	  1 TNG*	     2
Sun.	 0 		  1 TOS		     1
					
That comes to a whopping grand total of 18 ST (good spread too: 11 TNG, 
7 TOS) episodes per week, usually more than one per day at different 
times as well.

* these two episodes are the same weekly Paramount offering, so only one
really counts.

** sometimes during the week, ST:TNG is bumped for a Yankees game:-(

Of course we all know only those who have every ST episode taped are

News-Software: VAX/VMS VNEWS 1.41    
Organization: NASA Lewis Research Center
Date: 27 Jul 1992 15:26 EST  

Everyone is now saying that the plot to C&E is very
inconsistant with the rest of ST (ie where's Guinana).  One of
the largest questions is that 'how can the crew of the USS Bosemen (sp?)
not realize that they were stuck in that loop for x years?"  well, my
thoery that clears up the confusion is as follows:

The Boseman was flying around happily and got sucked into a time 
vortex ala Yesterday's Enterprise.  That explains why no one
has seen it for x number of years.  The Big-E comes along, 
discovers a distrubance (namely the other side of the time warp)
and the Boseman comes flying out (therefore, they feel no loss of time
thru the warp).  Collision occurs, and the Big-E leaks plasma, which
ignites and blows up the enterprise (along with the Bosemen which
may or may not be true).  The energy of the explosion is enough to 
create a time loop, or at least a small jump backwards in time,
 and the Enterprise and Boseman return to their original positions.
Each time theat the Big-E blows up, the energy is sufficicent to
restart the loop.  Once that energy ceases to exist at that time,
the loop ends and the Big-E is safe.  Both the ships have been in the
warp for 17 some days.

Now for the Boseman, they are in limbo when the loop starts, since
they are still in transit thru the time warp.  Therefore, any of the
Decyon waves that would cause visions of deja vu would not
reach them, and the crew would not realize anything different.  Therefore,
they spend what seems to be no time at all throughtout the cycle, but
in reality x years (in the time warp) and 17 days (in the time loop).

The spacial effect has NOTHING to do with the time loop.  The time loop
is only present because the Enterprise releases plasma, and it blows up.
However, if you take the stance that the future is set and unchangable,
then the time loop incident must happen, even in the future of the 22nd
century.  The space-time continumum is weakened at this point in the
universe, and a time loop is formed, which happens to pull the Boseman
thru.(i wont go into this further, because its become very
circular in reasoning).

If the Boseman had been stuck in the loop for x years, how did the loop
propagate?  The Boseman does not run into anything upon exit from 
the time warp, so how can the loop form.  My theory removes
this and other discontinuities from this great episode.

Besides, where WAS Guinan?! :)

Well, I think at this point in the history of science fiction, you'd
probably be hard-pressed to find an SF story that didn't in some way
resemble some other SF story.  This is certainly true of other fictional
genres.  SF is no different.  It's always interesting (and this is not a

Bruce Maddox is not a prosecutor, he is a plaintiff.  There are differ-

Appeal because the JAG officer and Picard, as defense, know each other?
Rejected, because the relationship was still antagonistic and would in
no way have biased the outcome.  Furthermore, it was plainly stressed

The only person who would have an interest in appealing this decision
is Bruce Maddox.  That he does not do so indicates he is happy with the
verdict and is willing to accept Data as a sentient being.
