A bunch of us are sitting here wondering what part he played in
"Deliverance".

What a neat item of trivia that he wrote the banjo song.

Soory, it's not P. Stewart writing but rather the producers as Capt.
Picard (basically his log entry).  However, there is some good info in
there as well as the complete summary of the pilot, scene by scene.

No one here has seen Babylon 5 yet.  However, a lot of us have read about
all the details in the current issue of Cinefantastique magazine.  B5
so far has produced just one show, a two hour pilot to be aired in
Feb. or March on (unknown) TV station in your area.

The info was according to Entertainment Tonight, when they said "One network 
affiliate is even showing The Next Generation in prime time...WCVB-5 in 
Boston..."  (8pm was their regular slot for two years.) I'm counting 'real'
prime time as 8pm-11pm.  7pm (when we get TNG and repeats up the wazoo) is
sort of a wishy-washy prime time.  But whichever.

That sounds like it was a portion of the 55+ minute electronic press kit
that Paramount sent out over the satellite feed.  I'm sure someone around
here taped it and would be willing to negotiate (don't look at me, I haven't
gotten my copy back from a friend yet).

Let's see, one was Loki, the other was something like beel, but that's not 
quite it.

The episode was called Let that be your last Battlefield and is available on 
tape.

A good episode, and an interesting commentary, we create something larger out 
of differences that someone socialized differently might not even notice.

TNG is usually pretty preachy, shallow, and uncontroversial (boring, too),
but if it was consistently as bad as "Angel One" and "The Outcast" I
definitely wouldn't continue watching it.  ("Half a Life" was about average.)

It's always seemed to me that TOS was an adventure show with sappy little
morality plays thrown in incidentally.  It was a lot of fun.

TNG, on the other hand, is one
heavy-syrupy lecture after another, lacking in depth, adventure, or anything
much of interest.  Sure there are occasional gems, and that's why I watch
the show, but for the most part it's just bad science, bad acting, bland
dialogue, pixie dust, posession, misunderstood all-powerful aliens, bratty
kids, an obnoxious, unfunny mother character, and some TOS guest appearances
for the true believers to "oooh" and "aaah" at.  Oops, forgot that it's a
special effects extravaganza.  Whoopee.

Geez, on top of all this, should I also flame the sacred cow, "Darmok?"
Nah, that's enough for now.

This is all just rumor mind you.......

anyway I had heard that there were some problems between Michele Forbes and
the genreral behind-the-scenes types at TNG.  As this story goes, that was 
why she was left as a child at the end of "Rascals".  And that basically
she's been pretty much written off...though of course they have left the
door open for her should things improve.

I thought of something after seeing COC, Part I, that after seeing Part II
just kind of made more sense, and I wondered what everyone else thinks.

After seeing just the trailer for Part II, I began wondering if this show was
written to get Patrick Stewart nominated for an Emmy for best actor in a
dramatic series or something.  I used to watch soaps, and they would do
something similar to their strongest actors/actresses:  give them a juicy
story line to emphasize their acting abilities around the end of the Emmy
season (which is coincidentally, I think, the end of December ;-)  Things
to support this theory include the fact that "Inner Light" aired this calendar
year, too, a GREAT Picard show, and the fact that Paramount moved up the air
date for COC (funny, it's the end of December).

Anyone else have opinions for/against?

AVERY BROOKS:  DON'T LOOK FOR HIM AT TREKKIE CONVENTIONS

	Randor, pennsylvania------The commander of the latest Star trek series
says you won't find him doing any Star Trek conventions.  Avery Brooks says he
isn't into that.  Brooks plays commander Sisko in the upcoming TV series "Star
Trek: Deep Space nine."  The syndicated series is a spinoff of "Star Trek: the
next Generation". Brooks tells TV guide he finds it funny that people think
that he, like another Trek tv captain William Shatner, may soon become a
worldwide sex symbol.  He says his "children would find that rather amusing"




_______________END OF QUOTED MATERIAL______________________________________

Gee, isn't it great that Paramount picks actors to whom this is just another
job, and who have no idea what this role means to people?  I mean if he's
not willing to put up with the fandom, he should keep his B-grade tv series ass
at home and give the job to someone who can handle it.  Leave your Ego at the

Actually, Jeff, if you really wanted to make your point that ST:TNG
occasionally flashes skin to get ratings, why not mention the episode
where Wesley Crusher gets sentenced to death on The Planet of Amazingly
Fit, Sexually Active and Scantily-Dressed Young "Obsession" Models?
And people, DON'T try to tell me that the plot required it, it was the
other way around--they needed a story to show all that skin.  Don't get me
wrong, I'm no prude, but that episode was just plain embarrassing.  (To

The hair is a possibility... :)

Actually, after Jellico files his report about what an insubordinate
prick Riker is, he'll be lucky if they offer him the captaincy of a
garbage scow, let alone the Federation flagship. He's lucky he isn't
being court-martialed; they certainly won't be offering him any more
ships.

Jellico is exactly what the Enterprise needs. He can shakes things up,
get rid of Riker, give Data his much-deserved promotion to full
Commander, keep Troi from wearing her pyjamas on the bridge, and give
Worf the respect he deserves as a Chief of Security. Yup, my vote is
for Jellico.

Happy New Year!!!

I thought it would've been interesting if Ensign Ro had appeared in
"Chain of Command."  She obviously would have sided with Captian Jellico
regarding his treatment of the Cardassians, and it would have been
interesting to see her reaction upon learning that Picard was being held
by them, since she had seen her father murdered in front of her eyes by
the C-Men.  I just think she would have strong reactions to *any*
Cardassian situation, let alone this one.  Does anyone out there know if
Michelle Forbes was unavailable while the episodes were being filmed or
if TPTB simply did not write her into the story?
