	This is a joke, right?  Please tell me this is a joke.  John
Vornholt is possibly the WORST writer of ST fiction today.  He is, however,
Kevin Ryan's closest friend which is why his crap gets published.

	I picked this up in the bookstore, read the first six paragraphs
and put it back down, gagging.  The man cannot write to save his life.
If you buy it, you WILL be sorry.  (This comes also from a friend who
actually read the damn thing.)  Also, skip the next TOS book since LA Graf
is the SECOND WORST Trek writer writing today.

     Creation Conventions is owned by Adam Malin and Gary Berman.  Until
     recently, they were based on Jericho Turnpike in Mineola, Long Island
     New York.  Their front was a comic book/SF/Star Trek store, which
     is still there although the Creation Conventions offices which
     used to be down back are gone.  Andre Mellon, who has managed the
     store since 1988, now owns 25% interest in it. 
     Adam and Gary have recently relocated to Los Angeles.
     (I know this because I know them pretty well; the store manager
     before Andre Mellon was Scott Miller, my former boss [he opened
     and proceded to run into the ground, his own store].

     That's the scoop, hope it's of help...

Regarding the 'Is Geordi Black Enough?' debate -

	Star Trek boldly shows us a future where Geordi LaForge's race is
	*HUMAN*. Not black, not white, not asian, not hispanic, not any
	other meaningless subdivision, but human. We 20th century Earth
	primitives could learn a thing or two from the world of ST. How
	long is it going to take us to realize that we are all part of the
	*same* race? Nothing constructive comes from artificially 
	segregating ourselves based on the geographic origins of our 
	ancestors - Los Angeles and South Africa are recent proof of that!
		
	I think it's time to recognize Geordi as a symbol of a brighter 
	future and stop whining about him not living down to our
	stereotypes. 

	Get with it, fellow humans!!

How come no-one mentions Kheylar (Suzie Plackson)?

Was she cute as a half-Klingon half-human or what?  :-)

It was nice to see a woman who didn't take any crap especially not from worf!
Unlike the cringing Bev Crusher and Deanna Troi. ;-)
Why do most ST women crew members have to be given such weak characters? Tasha
was a start but then they killed her off. 

Is feminism dead in the 24th Century?



Roll on DS9 with Ms. Plackson as Dr. Selar. (or so I've heard)
Maybe she'll give ole Weasley the Vulcan Death pinch ;-)
Speaking of Wes maybe they'll stop giving him such a bad character in ST:DS9.
TNGs portrayal of him is terrible, thus the resulting backlash from so many 
Trekkers. 
Everyone should get off his back! Wil Wheaton was told "I wish you'd die" by a
so-called fan. What in tarnation was the reason for that?

I just received a few as gifts.  As I opened one, I noticed that the stickers on the 
left side of the ship had been reworked.  It may look fine to the casual observer,
however, to the "hard-core" collector, it's an imperfection.  Perhaps Hallmark
should re-evaluate reworking an imperfect ornament.  I thought you might want to 
know.

In addition, to correct an earlier statement about the ornament.  I believe that the
speech goes, "Shuttlecraft to Enterprise, shuttlecraft to Enterprise.  Spock here.

I've been gone for a week but since I have seen any postings
about this... last Friday's USA TodAy claims that Scotty will be
found by the TNG crew.  It seems they find a derelict transport
vessel or some such and activate the tranporter.  Scotty
appears.  "It seems he beamed up one too many times and has
been stuck there for 76 years."  This could be good.
I wonder if he is remember in TNG times.  I would think
that at least Geordi and Data would remember him.
Sorry if this is old news.

Of course, you have to bear in mind the situation...the bridge crew was
trying to worm the truth out of the Ferengi (yes, that was a pun), so we
could explain this "HUGE inconsistency" by saying that Troi was
BLUFFING about feeling (or not) their emotions.  Personally, I feel this
helps to heighten the humor of the situation...not to mention helping to

This was probably a mistake, I would think.  Leaving such technolgy
behind could have serious impact on technological development.
You could also argue that the military didn't know what it was
right away and decided to 'study' it - or lock it away as they do
with so many other things.  Perhaps they were then lost in the
shuffle.  To make this theory plausible, you have to extrapolate a
great deal.  That's why it sounds like a mistake.

I guess *I'm* the last.  Have they officially changed the Oscar categories,

         Best Female Actor

         Best Female Supporting Actor
         etc. )
