 Subject: New Episode News!
  
News on new episodes:
  
"Cost of Living" - this year's Lwaxana episode has Mom Troi taking a
motherless Alexander under her wing.  It will feature a traditional
Betazoid wedding, with, I think, Lwaxana herself as the bride (although
I could be mistaken).  Guests and participants retain their clothes.
  
"The Perfect Mate" - a shapeshifter (possibly another alassomorph?)
drives the men of the Enterprise crazy by turning into "their idea of
the perfect woman".  The episode guests Tim O'Connor, who played Dr.
Huer on Buck Rogers, as the ambassador who brings her aboard.  The
episode is said to be very similar to the TOS episode "Elaan of Troius."
  
"Imaginary Friend" - A child on board as an imaginary friend, but is it
imaginary?  <no kidding>
  
"I, Borg" - The much-ballyhooed return of the Borg.  Well, a Borg,
anyway. Geordi takes it on himself to free an adolescent boy from his
Borg programming.  Why only one Borg?  All the rest were killed when
their ship crashed, apparently.  This episode also features Guinan.
  
"The Next Phase" - Experimental Romulan cloaking technology renders
Geordi and Ro invisible.  Uh-HUH.  Believing that Geordi is dead, Data
gives him a funeral, with Riker providing trombone music.  We actually
learn about Geordi's family in this episode.
  
"Inner Light" - "An alien icon in space has a strange effect" on Picard.
This episode features Patrick Stewart's son, Daniel, as Picard's "long-
lost son".  This is supposed to be some sort of "alternate reality"
story.  We'll get to see Picard's "grand-children", as well as his "son".
  
"Time's Arrow" - This year's season finale!  Data goes back in time to
late 19th/early 20th century earth and meets Mark Twain.  NOTE: This
episode was originally NOT a cliffhanger, but it is now.  Guinan
reportedly goes back in time with Data.  Part two has not yet been
written, but may feature an appearance by Q, who didn't make it into
the fifth season.
  
Misc. rumors:
  
*  This year's aborted Q episode, "Duelling Q's", may be seen next year.
  
*  We may see a female Q.
  
*  Michael Dorn will play a non-Klingon in a guest appearance.
  
*  We'll be seeing more of Michelle Forbes, as Ensign Ro Larren, next
   year.
  
On Deep Space Nine:
  
*  The commander of the wormhole lost his wife to the Borg at Wolf 359.
   He hates Locutus, and thus harbors deep resentment against Picard.
  
*  The derelict space station is apparently Ferengi-built.
  
*  The space station orbits the planet Bajoran, which, as those who saw
   "Ensign Ro" will remember, is the original homeworld of Ro Larren's
   people, the Bajorans.
  
*  The primary enemies in Deep Space Nine will be the Cardassians.
  
*  Casting begins in May and June; filming in August; the series pilot
   is scheduled for January '93.
