Subject: Two Captains and Rick Berman to be on Prodigy
Date: 28 Dec 92 22:57:12 GMT
Organization: Clark University

Prodigy occasionally gets "stars" of popular TV shows to answer questions.  
In January, Avery Brooks, Patrick Stewart, and Rick Berman will be on line for 
a day each.  Usually there are only a few responses, so don't get too excited.

I won't be able to upload anyone else's questions; the volume would surely be 
insane.  But I'll do what I did with the Northern Exposure stars a while back, 
download all the "answers" and post them here.  

So for many of you with those free Prodigy kits laying around, this might be 
the time to sign up for a month...  (This sure ain't an ad...IMHO Prodigy is 
generally lame and the Star Trek discussion there is quite annoying.)

The complete details, swiped word for word, follow...

                     2 Star Trek Captains Coming Online

                  Early in January, PRODIGY members may post
               questions on the TV Bulletin Board to 2 Star
               Trek captains:
                  First up, on Jan 7, will be Avery Brooks,
               who debuts as Cmdr Benjamin Sisko on Star
               Trek: Deep Space Nine, the spinoff that
               premieres Jan 4.
                  Then, about 2 weeks later, we'll have
               Patrick Stewart, who plays Capt Jean-Luc
               Picard on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

                  Questions from which Brooks will select a
               few to answer on Jan 7 may be posted beginning
               Sunday, Jan 3. They should be addressed to
               STAR99E under the subject Ask Avery Brooks in
               the topic TV (A-K).
                  At the same time you can post questions to
               Rick Berman, co-creator of Deep Space and
               executive producer of both Star Trek shows.
               Please use the subject line, Ask Rick Berman,
               and address the same ID, STAR99E, in TV (A-K)
               on the TV board.

                   Patrick Stewart of Star Trek: The Next
               Generation will be online 1 day during the
               week of Jan 18. The exact date and ID will be
               announced at least a week in advance.

                  The 2-hour premiere of Deep Space on Jan 4
               involves the adventures of Starfleet officers
               near the beginning of the 24th century as they
               take command of a remote alien space station--
               Deep Space 9--on the edge of a new frontier.

                   Brooks, last seen on Spenser: For Hire and
               A Man Called Hawk, plays Sisko, who runs the
               space station. He is a single parent to son
               Jake since his wife was killed during the
               famous encounter with the Borg--the bloodiest
               battle ever recorded in Federation history.
