    This was hilarious! I would like to add a little seriousness to it,
though. I wonder if they will ever show an episode about Dr. Crusher and
JLP? There were earlier rumors about Wesley actually being JLP's son, but
I don't know about that. Still, it seems there may be something there that
is just waiting to be written. And while I'm writing, what about JLP and
Guinan? What is so special about their relationship? I shudder at the
thought. And lastly, I think we have probably seen the last of Deanna and
Will Riker as a couple, right? A shame, I think. Well, that does it for
me...

Yup, turns out you were right.  I was going out of my mind Monday
night wondering whether I'd missed it or not...:)  I sure hope you set
your VCR for 12:30 instead of 1:30 AM; Monday night is the only night
it's on at 1:30 AM, according to WJLA's programming.  

They even showed the promo for what was supposed to be the next
night's show, Hangin' Wit Mr. Cooper.  Aaargh...idiots!

But, as for the show...  Marina was looking FINE!!!  Wow, I wish she'd
run out of clothes more often..:)  When she made the comment about
wanting to go back into time to 20th century time so they could wear
normal clothes, those clothes, I was seconding that...

But there are ways to make sure it won't happen!  

Take for example Poul Anderson's novel, "The Currents of Time", or
something like that. Time travellers have phaser-type weapons (but no "stun"
setting!) which supply also a personal shield. But then 2 persons with
each a phaser will stalemate themselves, so a third person can go to
the other and chop his/her/its head off with an axe: the shields in
question repells only energy from a phaser...    :->>
Or, two phasers, if firing at the same spot in a shield, can pierce the
shield...  or, you can use a plain old rifle. At medium range, the bullets
will cross the shields with enough velocity remaining to be harmful...

I found that pretty neat...  :)

Good question! We see Vulcans in such episodes as 'Journey to Babel' and 
'Amok Time', but other than that I do not think we see Vulcans (except Spock)
at all. Even in the movies we see very few Vulcans we have not already seen.

At least in ST:TNG they have Selar, who appears hardly ever yet is refered to
once in awhile.

The show is called Star Trek, not Vulcan Time so although we may see one here
and there the show is not centered around them.

But we know this doesn't happen:  the response from the addressed party
is too quick.  How many times have we seen something like the following
happen?

Scene:  on bridge of the Big E

Riker (looks at ceiling):  "Dr. Crusher assemble a medical away team
   and meet me in transporter room 3!"
Crusher:  "On my way."

Crusher responds immediately, as though she was just sitting around in
sick bay with nothing to do, waiting for someone to call her on her
communicator.  There is no time for recording, paging, playback, or
anything kind of delayed delivery of the message.

Picard as a young boy? Let's see... he would have to be about ten, and since
the events in ST:NG take place about 75 years after ST:TOS, he would be about
85 in ST:NG. However, I did read in Wizard #7 that he was originally scheduled
to appear in Star Trek VI, but that was before they decided to place TNG 75
years after TOS.

What do you mean, "YAY"?  While I agree characters from TOS should not
be on TNG because TNG should work on its own, I find that you are implying
that you don't like Shatner.  While you are entitled to your opinion, I
happen to like Shatner and think he portrays Kirk very well.  
If you're also referring to STV, the directing was fine.
It was the writing that was bad.  (Yes I know Shatner did some of the writing.)
While it could have passed as a TV episode, it did not merit movie status,
an implication of being a powerful story.

As for Doohan not liking Shatner, I find the situation sad, but
I'm not going to take sides.  I like them both aswell as their characters.

Well, if you were a smoker...you would have noticed that Troi did not
inhale...or hold her cigarette comfortably....
Taking the smoke into your mouth and then kinda pushing it out does
not denote an "experienced looking" smoker...rather a 13 year old
trying to look cool...or an inexperienced smoker...
if anyone knows otherwise (that Troi is a smoker) please let me know..
my already high opinion of her will double!  If not, I would
be more than happy to give her "smoking" lessons if you know
what I mean...

I agree 100%! Once Guinan pointed out the obvious to him he fit the role

certainly should understand kids alot better. He didn't even get mad at

My impression was that the Picard character was a sort of tribute to Jacques-
Yves Cousteau (along with the explorer motif). The kid Picard's accent, I 
agree, was far too British; however, I've found that Steward tried to make 
some of his words sound more French than British (charade, for example). I 
assume that Stewart was picked after the character was created and he just 
fit the mold better than any French-sounding actor. Imagine the disaster if 
Picard spoke French the way Kevin Costner spoke medieval English in Robin 
Hood!

Because there is a perceived notion that "girlie" dolls made for boys don't
sell. In the entire X-Men action figure line we were lucky to get a Storm
doll (no Rogue, no Dazzler, no Psylocke, no Jean Grey, etc). When they made
action figures from the Kevin Costner Robin Hood movie, no Main Marian.
Again the same for Pirates of Dark Water, no Tula. Personally, I'm very
suprised that there is even going to be a Troy doll.

BTW, Toys R Us in Rosemead, CA had the entire line when I was there 11/15.
