Subject:    Franklin Mint's Enterprise - Bridge Error

  Has anyone *really* looked at the advertisements for Franklin Mint's
  Starship Enterprise?

  According to the blueprints, the bridge is not in line with the axis         e
  of the ship - it is offset ~15 degrees (this figure from memory).  In
  the blueprints and series, the turboelevator is not directly behind the
  captain's chair,  but is off at an angle - but is actually lined up
  with the dorsel.

  In the Mint's version, the bridge is aligned with the axis of the ship
  and the turboelevator is offset from the dorsel.

  Anyone else notice this?  I saw it in the latest advertisement that I got
  this month.  BTW: I live less than 15 minutes from the mint.

[Some Stuff Deleted]

Personaly, I have to say that I think a DSN subgroup would be good.  Granted
that DSN is part of startrek, but there *is* a higher than normal volume.
There is as much about DSN as there is about STTNG and STTOS.  TOS has
limited discussion in here, and TNG seems to be the main topic.  Splitting
DSN off I think would eliminate alot of the noise from DSN readers.
It seems to be about 1/2 of the messages now in this groups is about DSN.
I would like to read about both groups, but I would also like the ability
to one group, then go to the other, having it all in one is becoming obnoxious.

Change happens all the time, if you dont keep an open mind and allow change
I really dont see how you can enjoy startrek. :-)  I think that its time
to change the struture a little and add a second group.

You can't get TNG discs through the Columbia House Club...yet.  I guess that 
they may have to wait a specific amount of time to offer it to their 
members.  I have only seen the TNG LaserDiscs through the video retail 
outlets.  Columbia House does carry the original series on LaserDisc.

I have just return from the New York City Creation Convention and here the
news.

Spoiler Warning

All information is from writers Brandon Braga, Ron Moore, script coordinator
Lolita Fatjo and/or Marina Sirtis.

Q returns for another episode this season. Captain Picard 'dies'.  Guess who
is responsible?

Q and Vasha will appear in "Deep Space Nine".

A crossover between the ST:TNG and ST:DSN is planned.

Troi is kidnapped by Romulans and is surgrially altered into a Romulan.

Troi's hairstyle is going to change again and she will be wearing the standard
blue Starfleet regulation uniform in 'Chain of Command'.

Captain Picard will be relieved of duties. Ronny Cox of "Robocop" and "Total
Recall" will play Captain Edward Jericho, the next Captain of the Enterprise.

'Chain of Command' will included the Fergenis. The Cardassians will captured 
Picard and will tortured Picard. It will be 'bloody'.

The Borgs have changed after 'I, Borg'.

The writers want Lore to be back but do not know how to do it.

There was an attempt to make Troi and Worf a couple. But this was supposed to 
happen in 'Fistfuls of Datas' but was writing out of the script. Alexander was
supposed to be playing the matchmaker with the holodeck meeting.

Another cast member of "Cheers" was supposed to appear in 'Cause and Effect' - 
the episode where the Enterprise collides with the USS Bowsman. It was 
supposed to be Kristie Alley as Captain Saliik.  Alley was unavailable and was 
replaced.

I can just see the Borg arrive and collectively shout "Norm!"  :-)

>The writers want Lore to be back but do not know how to do it.

I see a couple of similar ways.

	In "Brothers" we saw that Soong had a way of recalling his boys in an
	emergency.  Wouldn't it seem logical for him to have installed alarms
	of a similar nature in the event that Data or Lore should fail in an
	extreme way, so he'd be able to locate and repair them?

	Let's say Data has a nasty accident.  (I personally see him working
	on the warp core when something explodes and hurls him across
	Engineering; we need something powerful, here.)  Data doesn't appear
	to recover.  Geordi ascertains that Data's brain is working but his
	body is not.  Unknown to anyone, Data reflexively activates his alarm.
	Eventually Lore arrives because his feeling chip is guilting him into
	helping out and repairs the damage seconds before the ship explodes.
	(Just kidding about the ship; I know how some people feel about that
	particular plot device.)  :-)

	Going back to the guilt idea, what if the new chip guilted Lore into
	giving it back to Data?  Lore can track down the Enterprise and give
	Data the chip (perhaps after helping the crew fix an unrelated
	problem).  Of course, once he does so, he becomes his usual self and
	leaves.  The chip is put in Data and it doesn't work because its being
	in Lore all this time has damaged it.  Meanwhile, Wesley saves the
	ship.  (Sorry again.)  :-)  A nice subplot would be to have Lore make
	a friend while he's nice and lose the friend when he becomes a jerk
	again.

	Instead of guilt, though, what if the chip made Lore...I want to say
	"schizophrenic" but I know that's not the right word; perhaps "manic-
	depressive."  Lore might track Data down just so he can take the chip
	out since it's driving Lore crazy.

	What if we have Data wake up to see Tasha Yar exit his sonic shower.
	"Do you mean, Tasha, that it was all a dream?"... :-)

You are correct.  The CIC tapes that have been released in the UK are also

In TOS, there is an episode called Amok Time, in which Spock must return to
Vulcan in order to marry.  And here we meet T'Pau, a very powerful Vulcan 
woman who is also a staunch traditionalist.  That's where the band took their
name from, I presume, and that's why there's a Vulcan ship called T'Pau.

        How about that episode where Enterprise picked up bunch of human
        colonists who'd been "lost" for a long time (I don't remember
        exactly what happened but I think the sun of their solar system had
        become unstable and so they had to be evacuated [I don't
        remember how the Enterprise found them...]). Anyway, their
        leader's daughter was 100% human...

        In that episode they were located in one of the Enterprise's
        cargo bays since they had chicken with them :) In the end they
        were rejoined with the other part of their colony located on
        some nearby planet. The other part of the colony had much more
        developed technology but they were dying due to the gene pool
        deprevation (due to cloning).

"Dr. Anne Mulhall" in "Retun to Tomorrow".
"Dr. Miranda Jones" in "Is There in Truth No Beauty?".
