Subject: CHAIN OF COMMAND II  FAKE SPOILERS
Date: 21 Dec 92 10:14:33 GMT
Organization: Lehigh University

I have secured an early copy of the script to the second part of chain of
command.  JELLICO turns out to be a young female cardassian hidden behind a
matter mask which makes her appear to be a human with a pole up his ass.  The
federation immediately removes him from command but must find a character with
the same ability to cause war at the drop of a hat but who is actually what he
appears, straight forward and simple.  After three attempts to program data to
be mean one of those future historians appears in the guise of bart simpson.
Riker hits him over the head with a lead pipe and jumps in to the machine.  He
returns minutes later with a young Cap'n Kirk (his grandpa).  Kirk then fucks
the young Carddassian who pretended to be Jellico and sets off towards
Cardass.  Meanwhile Picard, under the stress of being captured and having to
wear that dumb black sweatshirt turns back into Locutus, no matter how much
info he is asked for everything is irrelevant.  Finally the Cardassians give
up and beam him back to the enterprise...  He sees Kirk and is surprised but
honored until he sees Kirk in action and realizes that such a buffoon, while
good at starting war is not so good at anything else, well one thing.  Taking
that to heart he decides to keep Kirk Busy using program PICARD69, the
infamous Enterprise women in Leather program.  Picard then subdues the
cardassians without weapons by boring them to death during negotiations.  Kirk
decides to stay on the Holodeck forever offering Riker control over the
original enterprise.  He refuses and we finally see why at the end as we see
him in bed with the Captain.  He did say he enjoyed serving under picard.

A hobby shop near me has a _real_ phaser for sale - I don't know who produces
them or where they came from, but it is (allegedly) an actual Paramount
stage prop.  They have one each of two varieties of phaser (one the DustBuster
variety, one of the pocket variety) and a medical tricorder.  The only thing
missing was the special effects to produce the beam.  The owner did comment
on how the larger phaser would make an effective self defense weapon - the
thing weighs several pounds, and because of the unusual shape, any wounds
produced by thrashing an assailant with it would be difficult to
figure out (unless the forensic pathologist is an especially avid Trek fan).

Oh, the price?  $145.

Anyone know a) where they'd be getting them from, or
	    b) what they're made from (plaster casts?)

 A friend of mine just gave me his copy of this Star Trek adv. game for the 
 IBM PC. Nothing fancy, just text. The premise of the game is that Starfleet
 sends Kirk and crew to find out clues to the disappearance of the USS HEINLEIN, Commanded by Capt. Sulu (this game came out circa 1981). The Enterprise is sent to the 145 Trianguli sector of space. This sector contains about 16 planets. I 
 have two questions:

 1) Does ANYBODY remember this game?
 2) If you do, are there clues on all of these planets?                          
 The command interface is not modern, only text no graphics, and limited text at that. The planets are neat though. I'm presently on planet Achir which is 
 described as a Dyson sphere, talking to plant-like alien with an attitude. I 
 introduce myself as Kirk from the federation and it answer : "That's nice".

 I AM STUCK! HELP!

 Any assistance would be appreciated.
 See ya later!

Well, a friend with a dish latched on to the feed of ST:DS9 and let me
swipe the tape.

I didn't take the time to write everything down, so I don't remember all
the names of the characters...

All in all, it was OK.  I hate shows that try and get too metaphysical, and
this was definitely one of those.  Sisko's problem with his wife's death didn't
qualify as real story material in my book.

On the other hand, the lady that plays the Bajorran Major (1st officer to
Sisko), her, I like.  It was good to see a woman in command,  and not be
a putz like Troi or Crusher were.

Characterizations were OK.  Odo is cool, lots of funky stuff with him, although
a kind of Data rip-off (Only one of his kind, etc.).  Quark was well done,
a half-way intelligent Ferengi, rather than the morons they're portrayed as
on TNG.   O'Brien... Good as always.  Sisko --  Cool.  That deep voice just
seems to ooze authority and control.  The kid -- Thank-the-deity-of-your-
choice, not another Wesley Crusher, at least so far.  Dax, Drax, whatever 
her name is... What a nincompoop. "Making the station lighter..." ?????????
I would love to see that.  Lots of possibilities with the slug inside though.
Major what's-her-face.  Definitely the best.  A woman who's tough, competent,
decisive, with a mission, and the second-in-command.  I see lots of strife
and conflict between her and Sisko, which should be good.  Rather than
that me-too Riker putz.  Dr. I-wanna-be-a-hero, gak, choke, wheeze, what
a lightweight.  Sisko and the producers better put in for a transfer for
that weenie.

One big disappointment...  The music is booooooooring.  It's
quiet, no fanfar, nothing catchy.  Sounds kind of like Nissan car ad music.
Bleah.

I think the show has great potential, and as a first-episode, it was
definitely better than TNG's intro, I just hope it can go up like
TNG episode with shows the quality of Yesterday's Enterprise, Cause and
Effect, and most of the Q episodes.

It's too bad that Ensign Ro isn't assigned to DS9, she would really 
spice things up.

Not 100% sure, but I think this refers to the audio sub-carrier within the

I believe she was manning one of the consoles at Star Fleet HQ in

The numbers are 6.2 left and 6.8 right and the numbers do not indicate
volume, but the frequency at which the audio sub-carrier is found on the
satellite feed.

If you are getting stations that have a higher level in one channel over
another, then the station is at fault and needs to have their audio chain

The original story appeared in "Spocanalia".  (A fanzine)
There were 5 Spocanalias, but I don't remember which one has "Visit..."

When I first read "Visit...Revisited" I loved it, and wen't crazy trying to 
find the original.  I finally called Jean Lorrah, and asked her.

You can get copies of Spocanalia from The Poison Penn Press, in New York.  (I 
think Brooklyn)  Try Information.
