A thought provoking question:

We all know that the various and sundry alien races do not really
speak English, but their speech is converted to English by the
"Universal Translator" in the Big E-s computer and vice-versa to
enable communication between species.

This translation capability has enabled the humans to communicate
even with races such as the Nanites in 'Evolution' and the silicon
race discovered in 'Home Soil' (remember - they called the humans
"ugly bags of mostly water").

So, with all this capability to communicate with diverse species,
how come we never see Spot having anything to say?  Any thoughts?

This question was brought up some months ago on a teletext question/answer page
here in the UK (RSVP TV on ORACLE for all you UK net users).

The answer given was as follows (not word perfect, it was a while ago!)

The BBC decided to save some money by only buying the mono versions of TNG, 
rather than the Stereo version which had also been offered for sale. 

So there you go, that's why the BBC, Sky One (and presumably ZDF) had mono sound.
However all the pre-recorded video tapes I've seen in the UK have been Stereo.

Hope this helps.

  I doubt Asia.  Everyone there was awfully caucasion-looking to me.  And I
think you may be confued about "Omega Glory".  I definetly recall Spock
saying to Kirk something to the effect that  "apparently they had the war
your ancestors avoided...", meaning a nuclear war, we all suppose.  It still
explains nothing about the post atomic horror (which, for all we know occured
on some Earth colony world -- it's been a while since I saw the episode...).

I would estimate that at most 10% of r.a.s.c is used for discussing DS9, and
less of r.a.s.m.

How many people are reading only information about DS9, and none at all about
TNG, I wonder?  And why aren't they using nn with auto-select on "DSN" and
"DS9", which is by far the most efficient approach to picking out those
articles?

I think not.

Date: 15 Dec 92 13:57:56 GMT
Reply-To: atb@gserv1.dl.ac.uk
Organization: Daresbury Laboratory, UK

Last weeks TOS episode on BBC2 was "The Galileo Seven". The big E is en route to
deliver some medical supplies when it comes across a strange "quasar-like" object
so the shuttlecraft Galileo goes off to investigate with Spock in command. Bones,
Scotty and 4 other unknown crewpeople are also on board the Galileo. The Galileo
crashes onto a mysterious planet and doesn't have enough fuel to get back. Due to
ionization effects from the object the big E's sensors are useless and can't find
the Galileo. Whilst stuck on the surface Scotty uses power from the phasers to try 
and refuel the shuttlecraft, Spock tries to get them off by *logical* means but this only serves to antagonise the other 6. Two of the unknowns get bumped off by huge spear-throwing creatures before Scotty refuels the Galileo and they lift off.
After acting *logically* whilst on the surface Spock acts *emotionally* by 
jettisonning all the fuel, this action causes the big E to see the shuttlecraft
and the Galileo crew are beamed aboard just in time.

A fairly good episode, a good example of Spock's acting logically and rubbing
McCoy up the wrong way. How are shuttlecraft supposed to be powered, it appeared to
me that the Galileo used the rocket principle, ie threw something out of the back
to make it go forward. If so how did Scotty refuel it with energy, you can have all
the energy in the world but if you've got nothing to throw out the back you can't
get anywhere. I expect someone out there has an technical answer to all this.

Is there a list out there of who Riker has slept with, and when?  If so, could
someone either mail it to me, or tell me where to find it?

I will compile said list, if it doesn't exist, and send it to whomever keeps
track of said things; so I ask all of you to please E-Mail me entries for the
list.  I am asking for: who(or what), when(episode name or description of
episode will do), and to what extent was he successful.  This is for all the 
seasons.  

i.e.  Guinan, in "The Dauphin", he was hitting on her in 10-forward.

Please e-mail me the entries regardless of whether said list exists, since it
is always possible that an 'event' could be overlooked.
