          1. Is Scotty's Dyson sphere going to be the "abandoned alien
          space station" rumored to appear in "Deep Space Nine"?

          2. If Troi can empathically detect deception and Geordi can
          tell with his visor when a human is lying, how can Ryker
          consistently beat them at Poker?

          3. Wouldn't James Burke (of "The Day the Universe Changed"
          and "Connections") make a good Dr. Who?

          4. Is it true that Dan Qualye is going to host a new morning
          exercise show for PBS called "The Body Politic"?

Date: 5 Nov 92 17:09:01 GMT
Organization: Penn State University

OK, here's a concept I thought would be interesting (inspired after the idea
about Sam as a woman kissing a man).
Sam leaps in, and he is in bed (similar to Genesis or The Play's the Thing).
There is a woman in bed who kisses him, says, "Good morning, honey." and leaves
the room.  Sam is happy, since this seems like an easy start to a leap.  He
gets out of bed, and goes to a mirror... to find he has lept into a woman!
Of course, the censors would block this with a sledgehammer- look at the
problems with "Running for Honor".  But it would make an interesting episode,
don't you all think?

Well, the B**giem*n were out again.  I don't know if it is an
actual connection or just a wierd twist of fate, but the cable here went
out five minute before USA's QL came on and didn't come on again
until just before the prime time episode.  And went out again
just when Alia did the deed.  Not back yet.  Hmmm.

Interesting episode.  I'll definately want to see it again clearly.

I saw it as going back to before Sam originally leaped in.  If you'll
notice, Sam/Jimmy was wearing the same flanel shirt as the day he
leaped in.  So I thought this took place before leaving for the work
site.  If that's right, which I think it is, then it seems as if
everything reset - none of the episode counted since Sam won out over Alia.

While I can't explain the WISH/WGN discrepancy, it may be that some
stations picked up Highlander late and are still running the eps in
original order.  That explains eps you've seen "a couple weeks ago".
As for ones, you haven't seen yet, remember this is a syndicated show,
and comes on different days across the country.  I'm probably in one
of the first markets to see it for the week.

Incidentally, I also have the opportunity to watch it on two different
stations (actually three I've never checked WGN), and I never
suspected a discrepancy since they have always showed the same.  For
the record, both KUSI (San Diego, Sun. 7pm) and KTLA (LA, Sun,
11:30pm) have shown six eps now.  They are:

(Before I do this, they've slightly altered the opening credits.  The

Can you say "big-screen"?  I thought you could.  Even made-for-cable
movies are a strong possibility (like the Perry Mason series).  But
I'd prefer to see it in the theatres, with a big-screen budget and fx.

Aside from the scant info about his limiter, this is *all* the

[Deletion of correct remarks about slight editing for violence in the

Although it's possible to infer from the way Gan spoke about Earth in
"Pressure Point" that he came from there, it was never said on the
series where he was from.  The earliest reference I can find to Zephron
was in one of the old "Blake's 7 Annuals" issued contemporarily with the
original broadcast.  These were cheap knock-offs for the children's
trade, truly puerile things with a lot of spurious "information" in
them.  I suspect that Tony Attwood did not have access to tapes of the
series when he wrote his "Programme Guide" and so treated every printed
source he could get his hands on as gospel.

Following up on various people's comments on the letter that No. 6
slams down on the desk during the intro sequence, I can reveal that
the exact wording on it is:

		Private & Personal


					
					By Hand

which suggests that it is *NOT* his letter of resignation - why would
that be marked "Private & Personal"?  I think it is a letter sent *to*
No. 6 which has provoked his resignation.  Likely candidates for the
contents of the letter are:
(1)	the letter is from his own side, and contains orders which
	he finds totally unacceptable.
(2)	the letter is from a third party, and contains proof of the
	unacceptable activities of his own side.
In either case it leads him to consider continuing to work for the
organisation intolerable - hence he resigns.

I believe that Neither PQL nor the "evil" PQL is in the future of the other.
I think they are running side by side.
My reasons for this are:
1) Alia and Zoe have no data on Sam and PQL and vice-versa for Sam and AL.
   Therefore neither of them can be in the future of the other.

2) Zoe would have used the data given Alia by Sam to run a check.  As far
   as I know she never reported anything back, not that she would have to but
   the way she was talking about the two of them clawing their way out of
   "hell" (I believe they are normal people not demons) they have known each
   other for a long time and might even be friends much like Sam and Al.

I believe I saw the same presentation.

I also thought the show has great potential.  The acting was inconsistent, I thought
that Tamlyn (the asian woman playing the commander) was coming around at one point,
then she turned back to wood.  However, comparing what we saw to the incredible
lameness of "Encounter at Farpoint" puts B5 light years ahead of the competition.

I liked it a lot.  But anti-feminist?  Naw.  I think the AI computers
are controlling the whole thing and you might  remember Ziggy has a
female voice.  The "evil" leaper's computer sounded like a male name to me.
On the AI computers controlling everything-I think it fits.  Sam creates
a computer that is self aware and it decides that there are certain things
in history that needs fixing.  Down the line someone else tries to
repeat Project Quantum Leap, but the computer turns out to be "evil" (like
IBM is <g>) and decides to mess things up.

Isn't Sam referring to Zoey when he says Alia can resist "her"?  At least
that's the impression I got.  I like your theories about Alia's time travel
stuff to be a result of the SLSB tape.  I'd never thought of that.  
I will admit, that having two women as the evil people did evoke a statement
