Yeah, and beauty is a lot of things. One of them is reflecting or
revealing Truth or a truth. I found 'The Outcast' pretty moving, and
surprisingly so, since ST:TNG is often slow and bland. What is
particularly interesting about this episode though is that it was stuck
in the middle of a bunch of reruns. I can see how they might have tried
to hide this one or sneak it out there this way. I was one of the
-no, the only person I knew who caught it's original broadcast. Truth is
touchy.

I would expect and hope that the majority of DS9 stories would involve people
passing through the station, and the crew dealing with situations on Bajor,
with occasional problems with the Cardassians, interactions with Starfleet,
and the nasty something popping out of the wormhole.  No doubt we'll see the
crew travel through the wormhole themselves for whatever reason once in a
while.

I have the feeling that the scene between Picard and O'brien in the

guess the boys in editing failed to pick up on the mistake.

	And they can, but they were intended for emergency seperation only.
Unless someone can show me otherwise, I'll still maintain that the Galaxy

saucer section being ment specificly for seperation during battle...

The US Navy brought the rank back a few years ago, then got rid of

and out of fashion.

Seniority.
------------------------End of Text--------------------------------------------

Rear Admiral (Lower Half) and Commodore are equivlent on pay scales.
I don't know about the seniority, but I would assume that a RA(LH)
is one step above a Commodore.Promotion to Commodore (at least in
WWII) was a staff promotion.  In other words, it was a way to promote
someone above captain, and into a general planning positioneven if
they didn't (by years) deserve promotion to admiral.  Also an
honorary promotion upon retirement for some awards.

Question:  Are FleetCaptain and Commodore equivilent ranks?

For the premiere of DSN (Emissary) the S-o-meter gives out an 8.  
Interesting, and in some cases well played, but not a gut wrenching,

Were this as simple as it seems, I would agree completely.
As it is though, I can only partially agree.  
What isn't so simple is that there are aliens serving in Starfleet, and
they may have different sexes entirely other than female and male, so
I can see a case for choosing "sir" for everyone in the fleet purely for
simplicity's sake, and to ease log-on time on the Universal Translators.  :)

A previous poster asked why only a Lt., I just thought of the
answer.  When a Trill takes on a new body it might also start a
new career.  Thus it joined starfleet in its new body.  Possibly
Sisco helped convince it when he knew it as the "old man"

I lost the thread on transporting Trills.  I think that they
instituted the biofilter check for parasites as a result of the
invasion in Conspiracy.  Now they have a validly symbiont life
form and have to reset the transporters to leave them in.

It looked like the humanoid half of the symbiosis actually had a
pouch used for insertion rather than surgery and would be
required by a human (like Riker).  It seems then that they
developed together and are symbiotes rather than a parasitic
relationship.

When I was young and I watched Space 1999 and didn't understand I

Friday I watch DS9, don't understand why beings who were not "ignorant

Oh, but I *am* looking forward to future episodes.  I mean this was
just one episode, the fact that it's the first one notwithstanding. :)

There was a 1st Season episode where there was a black alien race. They looked
just like the average black human, but were supposedly independenly evolved.
Come to think of it the whole race was black ;)...

Just because humans developed genes for different colors doesn't mean that
other races would have such a characteristic. Some races are blue, some
a little green, some reddish, and I'm sure others.

What I would like to see is more non-humanoid life forms...
