It is interesting.  But you (and probably Asimov) forget the biggie--
superior strength, intelligence, etc., -combined with- incredible
vulnerability.  It's the combination of the two that gets you.  I remember
as a teenager reading and re-reading the scene where Daneel has been
tricked into opening his chest and showing the other robots he's one of
them.  It was a kind of porn, the ulitimate in helpless nudity, and very
touching. 

Spock's vulnerability is obvious, and connected with his extreme emotional
control.  He's so brittle, you fear he'll break into pieces at any minute. 

Both Spock and Daneel derive their strength from the very thing that makes
them vulnerable--emotional control in one case, being a robot in the other.

Kirk can be seen as being in a similar situation.  His weakness--and his
strength--is Spock.

It's not necessary for anyone to look any older than they are - all that's
needed is a good slingshot effect or time portal or something like that.

At the Creation Con in Boston yesterday (4/11/92) someone asked Richard
Arnold if there was any chance of dedicating an episode to Asimov.
His answer was no.  Asimov and Roddenberry were friends but Asimov
refused to write for Star Trek and had no official ties to the show.

I have also been interested in the question of Klingon gestation and rate of
growth.  The first time we see Alexander, he was supposed to be about 2 years
old and yet he looked more like 6 to me.  Anyone have connections with the
writers to find out about this for Klingons and/or Vulcans?  For purely
scientific curiosity of course.

Hmm.  Maybe I'll try to patent the automotive interface.  You know, the
one with a steering wheel, accelerator under the right foot, clutch under
the left, and a brake pedal between the two.  I could then collect royalties
from all car manufacturers in the world.  That is, if they don't change 
the way they make their cars now.  I can see it now, every car with a
different method of control.

I know this doesn't really belong in rasc, so no flames please.

Yes, she is one and the same. The actress is Majel Barret (spelling?).
She ended up marrying Gene Roddenberry, I think after the original series
ended.

She is also the voice of the computer in TNG. It's listed in the credits.

I'm still considering e-mailing the gifs out to people. If you're interested

drop me a bit of e-mail and I'll send to everyone at once.

If you can use ftp, please wait until I have the correct site and directories,
