Also, wasn't there a program in TOS that Kirk and Spock beamed down
with antimatter to kill off some kind of mist-creature?  Photon
torpedoes are just little bits of antimatter (I think).

Sure.  She's a Lt. Commander.  She wore Lt. Commander pips in the pilot.
Also, in the episode "Disaster", O'Brien notes that Troi is a Lt. Commander.
This is all just a rehash of stuff posted weeks ago by someone else.

I believe Lore just floated around in space ... and it turned out Dr. Soong

I heard she left because she felt she wasn't getting enough lines as Yar.

Also, where do you get these?  Are they only available on satelite?  I

Spoilers for Man of the People






































First let me say I though that this episode was good. For some reason, I just
enjoyed watching it.

    Now, some people have said that Troi used her authority to coerce an
ensign. I never got that impression. I grant you, she may had seduced him.
But I do not see any indication that she abused her authority.

    I grant you, the ensign appeared nervous when Riker entered Troi's 
room. However, I think this had more to do with the fact that he had just
made love to the #2 honcho on the enterprize ex girlfriend and that #2 honcho
just caught them. God, that would make me nervous.

  I would like to remind you that this newsgroup is dedicated to
discussing Star Trek, not nationalist politics.  I am sure there are
other newsgroups which would welcome your views on Northern Ireland,
however extreme they may be, but I'm sure others on this newsgroup
would agree that this is not a platform for racial bigotry, be it
anti-British or anti-Irish.
  Yes, you might have noticed that I am British, and I am not
entirely unsympothetic problems of Northern Ireland, but if you
wish to glorify acts of terrorism which are as offensive as the
actions of the British before Ireland gained its independance,
DO IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!
  This subject does not interest me, so do not bother to reply,
as this is my last word on it.

Paramount uplinks the episodes at 6pm Eastern time every Saturday.  Your
local TV station tapes it but isn't allowed to show it until Monday, though
many stations schedule it on the weekend, so you have to wait about a week
after the uplink to actually see it.

Actually, it works out really nice for me--I missed "Man of the People,"
so after the uplink of "Relics," I switched over to PIX and recorded it.

You're a trusting soul, Chris.  Spiner has wonderful acting talents, as
does Stewart.  This is no way implies or guarantees their successes as
directors.  I've found Stewart's forays into the world of directing
unimpressive.  Perhaps this can be blamed on the lack of a good script;
I don't know.  Frakes, on the other hand, has proven to be a fine
director, but only an average actor.

Steve King wrote perhaps the best teleportation story  (IMSHO) "The Jaunt,"
which is in the Midnight Crew (I beleive) collection of stories.  Essentially,
a teleport device works, and has revolutionized the world, but it has a 
few nasty side effects.  One snippet incvolves a man who murders his wife
by tying her up , throwing into a jaunt chamber, and pressing 'Beam'
and 'Null' simultaneously.  At his trial, his defense was that there was no 
murder, as the prosecution couldn't produce a body.  This raised the spectre of
the woman whizzing through the atmosphere, screaming, for all eternity, and the
jury found him guilty.  Not fun.  

Also, Larry Niven has writeen several excellent 'essays' on the nature
of teleportaion.
