SPOILERS




*******************************************************************************

I was reading in a recent issue of Preview magazine that in an upcoming
issue of LSH the clone Legionnaires will finally enter the battle
against the Dominion and several will be killed.  I don't know what
issue number this is going to occur in, I think the issue after the
issue where Shvaugh becomes a man.  But it appears fellow netter Dani
Zwieg predicted this plot device correctly, and the letter to the
creative team fell on deaf ears.  **SIGH**

To answer the current ragging SW questions:

The time line goes:
	Return of the Jedi
	2 yrs. later--The Young Adult series (GLOVE OF DARTH VADER,LOST CITY OF 
							THE JEDI)
	5yrs. after ROTJ--the ZAHN series
	7yrs after ROTJ--Dark Empire
	20 yrs or so after ROTJ movie episodes 7,8,&9 (no info available)

Official Cannon:
	The movies and novelizatons
	Wookie Holiday (TV special)
	The 2 ewok movies
	The HAN SOLO novels
	The LANDO CALRISSIAN novels
	(I belive)Splinter in the Mind's Eye
	DARK EMPIRE(and later series)
	The young adult series
	The Zahn novels (and later books)
	STAR WARS RPG and ALL Sourcebooks

LucasFilm is making sure that every new Star Wars story is connected with every-
thing else.  Consider the RPG as the official handbooks to the STAR WARS univers
e.  The RPG books are done with minimum game info, but lot's of SW info
(ie.  They read like books about SW)

In theory, things from the comics and Zahn books will show up in the RPG.

If you want my opinion, I think that Captain Carrot is, stirke that,
_was_ a good comic until the Dodo's at DC cancelled the mag.
I enjoy the refreshing change from the usual "let's beat everyone up"
attitude of most other comics that Cap allows me.

There was also some great room for character developement in the mag
but it seems that whoever was writing it either had no concept of
characters or were too concerned with the jokes to really get into it.
Somthing that I think JLE is in serious danger of.

	Favorite?  Dunno.  The funny Hulk issues.  Hulk "sucker"ing Doc Samson.
"Look behind you, it's Lou Ferrigno!"
	Least favorite?  Probably the Crazy Eight issue.  Would have been very
good except for the moral copout at the end making Crazy a good guy.  Everyone
already agrees that you shouldn't execute _good_ people, the trick is
convincing folks that you shouldn't execute _anyone_.  This is more
potential-unfulfilled than actual dislike.  PAD's turned out some really
mediocre stuff in the past, but it's too forgettable to remember long enough to
mention it as a Least Favorite.

it is I speak of--except that I'm not sure if anyone ever really knew
who it was. He/she had letters published in just about every lettercol
DC had during the 80's. Does anyone know who this person is/was and/or

I 100% agree with you that marvel would never kill off the X-men. I also think
that doesn't change that there will be a traitor who will TRY to kill them (and
fail, of course). The mystery is when and who. And it's anyone's guess as to
both of those unknowns.

Wait a minute!   Ghost Rider has SWORN never to take a human life.
Okay, so he offed Deathwatch, but then, Ghost Rider made the decision
that this bad boy was not human.  I doubt  even  Spiderman  would have
let Deathwatch off the hook without several smashed bones.  Cable on the
other hand shot a helpless and retreating opponent
THROUGH THE FACE!!!!!
In all honesty, I'd rather be taken out  by  Cable or the Punisher.  They
just  kill you.   With Ghost Rider, he makes you feel the pain you've
inflicted on innocents, and lets you live with that knowledge.  That's no
killing attack, unless it means the death of your spirit.  But then, if
you've caused a massive amount of pain like a rapist or a mass murderer,
you probably didn't have a soul worth crap anyways.

Also, by a show of hands, who'd like to see Ghost Rider give a good
hard look into Cable's soul?  I predict much writhing of bionic limbs and
drooling (mixed with vomit) in the future.

OK, here's a different take on the X-Judas. I propose Rogue.  Evidence
and theories:

	- she started as a villian
	- after all these years (10?) we still know next to nothing about
	  her, not even her real name.
	- The tape of Jean Grey in the future speaks of power negations.  
	  This points to either Rogue or Forge. 
	- It would explain Gambit/Witness's silence, as he may not wish
	  to point out his former girlfriend as the Judas.
	- If she took out one member at a time, she could quite easily
	  amass the raw power necessary to take out ANY of them.

Have fun playing with this one. No flames if Rogue is one of your favorite
X-Men. (She's one of mine too!) :-)

That's one way of looking at it, but I suspect that one of the points of this
story was that the Creator arranged for Lucifer to Fall, and gave him one of 
these all-powerful contract thingies. So Lucifer knew that the creator would 
take hell back, and arrange another Fall. What Lucifer didn't know was that 
Dream was unarrogant enough to accept this. And the self-accusatory melancholia 
is only something that's happened since the Imprisonment. In particular, 
Morpheus didn't feel any remorse over Orpheus, but quite a bit over Alex Burgess
As you can probably tell, I'm a fan of the theory that Dream is getting more 
human as time goes on.

If you're an out-and-out fanboy, you don't wonder about it; you don't even
realize it.  Everybody else does, though.

If you can conceive of the possibility that you might be a fanboy, you're at

Scott's Oquaga Lake House, in the foothills of the Catskill mountains
near Binghamton in upstate New York. The owners are fairly good dancers,
and the resort has a 3000 square foot dance floor. They bring in
instructors during the summer, and they have a live band every night.
They also have water sports (it's on a lake), a 9-hole golf course,
4 tennis courts, and more.

Address: Oquaga Lake - Box 47
         Deposit, NY 13754

Phone:   (607) 467-3094

Disclaimer: I'm not connected with this place, and I haven't been
there. It has had good writeups in a couple of dance magazines, though.
If you tell them you're interested in dancing, I'm sure they'll send
you copies, as well as their color brochure.

We plan to participate in this year's British Open
Championships in ballroom dancing in Blackpool. Can
anyone help us with finding accomodation. We have 
never been to Blackpool and don't know any place
to stay. It shouldn't be too expensive and if
possible not too far out of town.

Thanks in advance.

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is the difference between 'open' and
'closed' ballroom competitions?

Thanks,
