Hello, all.  I seem to recall seeing something on one of the r.a.s.*
newsgroups about tours of the Paramount lot (and TNG stages?).  I've tried
mailing to trek-info-request@fx.com, but my daemon doesn't recognize it as a
valid hostname.  If anyone knows whether Paramount does give tours, and if so,
how I might arrange same, please post or E-mail.  Thanks in advance...

I remember seeing somewhere that C9, or really 11001001 is the command
for Unconditional Return for some computer emulation type. That may have
something to do with. It was rumored that the title of the episode was
going to be called Uncond. Return, but then was later changed, I'm not sure.

If you remember the name of the first couple was 10 and 01.
I pressume the name of the other two were 11 and 00.  Therefore
it was just their names 11001001.  Does this make any sense?

OK so my local station has begun broadcasting reruns of TNG weeknights at
11:05pm starting with "Encounter at Farpoint" and proceeding with the first
season episodes (though they are not quite getting the order right).

Last night I saw 11001001 for the first time, and I am missing something.
Clue me in, OK?

After hearing from Data that the magic filename would likely be a familiar
name or place, and might be in binary, Picard regards the four Binos (sp?)
lying apparently dead in an ordered pile, and says, "Would they make it
that simple?  Let's try it".  Then Riker keys something in, the screen says
"Searching", and a file by the name of 11001001 is found.

At first I thought Picard got it from the pattern the Binos had arranged
their bodies in, but I couldn't get 11001001 from that.

In base 8 it is 311, in base 10 is 201, and in hex is C9.  I can't
get anything from these.

Then I looked up "minuet" in the dictionary: "a slow graceful French dance
designed for multiple couples, done in 3/4 time, characterized by bowing
and toe pointing".  Great.  So, is 11001001 basically the step pattern of
this dance, or the rhythm or rhyme scheme of the music for this dance, and
were the Bios's bodies arranged in a pattern reminiscent of this dance?
That's really a stretch.  Rhyme schemes are usually denoted with A's B's
and C's.  Are dance step patterns denoted in 1's and 0's, or in foot
symbols and dashed lines?  Where the hell did they get 11001001?

First the Binos consider stealing the Big E a worthwhile gamble since they
must survive at all costs.  Later, they hinge their survival on Picard and
Riker being able to solve a relatively difficult riddle, and with "bridge
access denied" to boot!  Why make it difficult at all?  Why not leave
a very obvious note in English, since they can speak English?

Why depend on Picard and Riker at all?  Couldn't they have programmed the
E's computer to automatically download the file after some period of time
regardless of whether they had passed out?

When Picard and Riker found them near death, they said, "Please try to help
us".  How ambiguous!  To insure their species' survival, why didn't they
just whisper, "download file 11001001".  Was it necessary in some religious
or fairy-tale sense for humans to solve a puzzle in order to save them?

Clue me.  Thanks.

The appearance of the cast (sans LeVar, who they said had to work that
day) on Joan Rivers was fun.  No news I haven't seen here before.  I
recommend finding someone with a tape if you didn't see it - everyone
was charming and funny.

I noticed one thing I had not seen before.  During some of the
"bumpers" between the show and commercials, they showed a freeze frame
of the Big-E and scrolled by a Star Trek "factoid" (a la CNN): Did you
know... .  One them said: "Did you know that Whoopi Goldberg begged to
have a role on "TNG"?"  It went on about how she was inspired by Uhura
on the original series.

What I found most interesting about this was that they used the
abbreviation "TNG".  It was the first time I can remember seeing this
abbreviation outside of the net.  Comments?

He appeared on several Night Court episodes as one of the hillbilly couple
from 'Sarajevo'.  Although he was dressed down for the part, you may get
some idea what he looks like.  He aslo appeared briefly in Cheers and
although I have seen the episode, I don't recall which one.  He was a
patron at the bar and I believe he spoke one line.

So far, for convention use, I have made 3 Klingon costumes....
an Ambassador's robe (ST-IV), a dress uniform (ST-VI) and finally
battle armor vest. All of these were made from home made patterns
made from one of my dress shirts. I can send you folks detailed
instructions on the intricacies if you can get me your address. 
Furthermore, the various chapters of the Klingon Assault Group
have published some helps and pointers regarding the costuming, 
accessorizing, etc that I can copy and send. The quartermaster
section of KAG is a good place to get some of the accessories
such as belt buckles, rank insignia, etc.

I do effects work for a living, so do some of this myself as 
well. Can provide Klingon disruptors, communicators, etc...
also do Klingon headpieces. Any questions, please feel free
to call or leave E-Mail.

Brent Spiner and the rest of the Next Generation cast were the guests on
Monday, Nov. 16th episode of the Joan Rivers show.  I missed her interview
with Patric Stewart, but I caught the rest of the episode.  It only airs
once in my local area and if I had known ahead of time i would have taped
it... oh well, if you didn't see it you missed a good show.

I was the original poster and was lucky enough to have a friend tape
the Joan Rivers show for me.  Spiner was charming and funny and I am
now even more of a fan then before.  Sure wish I had known about him
when I lived in New Jersey a few years ago.  I would love to have seen
him on Broadway.
