Note that Starfleet is responsible for fighting any wars that the Federation
may enter.

For all the talk of the Enterprise not being military, I cannot help but
notice that the entire feel of the missions is that of a military unit on
patrol.  There are distinct scientific ship.  Picard often says they will
have to leave that to be investigated by a scientific ship.  No, the 
Enterprise is a warship on patrol.

Not that this has much to do with Trek, but anyway...

The TV movie "Something's Out There" was good.  But as another poster
said, when they converted it into a series, they completely forgot
that Mariam was supposed to be an alien, and the show turned into just
a mediocre cop drama.

All IMHO, of course.

From: mneylon@jupiter.cse.utoledo.edu (Michael Neylon)
Date: 6 Nov 92 08:25:06 EST

SPOILERS for Rascals......


I see lot of people griping about how the Big-E was taken too easily in
Rascals.  Well, lets look at there situation...

-They're in orbit about a planet, looking for a science team.

-SUDDENLY, two BoPs decloak, and immediately begin firing.

Now just think about it a bit.  First off, no one was prepared (except the
viewer :) for that attack.  And, I believe that the techophobes can confirm
that normally, phasors and photon torps are OFF-LINE.  

Therefore, Worf immediately threw up the shields, and then got the
phasors on line.  This process is not instanteous...Therefore, by the
time they were powered up for one shot, the shields were already down
to bare minimum.  

Then the Ferengi tported over....note that they tported to various, LOW
SECURITY sites, such that there would be, at most, 1 security personal to
overtake (other members of the crew do not normally carry around phasers....)
Worf never really stood a chance (although he could have taken out one of 
them before he fell....)


And before you say that the bridge crew should have rushed them, I dont
think that the Ferengi's phasers were all set to 'light tap on the
shoulder'....Although the eps. didnt say, I believe Worf got hurt big-time
(beyond stun).  Alot the crew would have fallen before even reaching the
two....this probably happend all over the ship...
My poin is 1) the Big-E was nowhere close to being ready for the attack, and
2) the Ferengi were relatively intelligent in their battle plan.  Actually,
I though this was one of the better take-over plans that I have seen.  
Kudos to the writters for this.  However, I still think it resolved too
easily  bleah....

If memory serves then I beleive that Picard has got some 
kind of artificial heart.  When he gets turned into a child 
did he get his original heart back?  I would think not. 
This would open up all kinds of "transporter abuse" plots.
However... If Picard's heart was still artificial then it
would not have shrunk to match his reduced size.  If he had
an abnormally large heart then I would think that this might
have been mentioned during his check over.  Just a thought.

Because old Picard has an English accent.

And he has one (despite being French) because when you learn a 
foreign language, you tend to take the accent of the people teaching
you.  And I would think that people in france would more often
learn english from the English, since England is closer to France
than the US.

For crying out loud, people, it was a FUN episode. Lighten up. I thought it
was absolutely hilarious to see Worf as a cowpoke. At least this one had
some continuity in it (Picard's flute, Data's poetry, Barclay's "addition" to
Deadwood). And let's not forget Troi. She's even more attractive with her
clothes on (better than those cheesey "Starfleet" uniforms). Overall,
8/10 (-2 for Alexander). Cheers.

Actually, from memory, I believe the shield was supposed to last some number

catch several bullets.

Yeah, you're right.  :)

Do you remember Young Ro fuming down the corridor all arms flailing
like she can't decide what to beat up on next, and finally ducking into
her quarters?  Primo!

And Picard with hair.  :)  I almost can't believe these people would
decide to go back to being old.  That's a bit of a stretch.

The episode had humor and good performances by some very talented
children.

To me the scariest part of producing TNG would be to accept a script
like this, then try to find children who could perform up to Patrick
Stewart, Michelle Forbes, and Whoopi Goldberg quality.

Can you imagine what it must have been like for those kids?  What a
kick!  To actually _be_ captain of the Enterprise for an entire
shooting.  I'd be surprised if People magazine missed out on this
opportunity.

we can expect might be "That Darn Data" or "Leave it to Beverly".
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy ST:TNG I just hate to see the quality of 
the previous seasons ruined by the sensationalist writing of this year.
I know I'll prolly get flames for this but I don't think anyone can
deny that this season has been the worst to date.

I think the human race has finally found the fountain of youth.  If your old,
just take a trip through the transporter and become young again.  Hell, it
can be used for covert missions.  Imagine, sneak into someplace as a kid, get
the informaton and come back.  They'll turn you back into an adult in no time
and trouble at all.  Think of the possibilities, no one has to die anymore!!
