I would not like to see Geordi die.  I will admit they haven;t done much
with his character, but I think it is a very good character.  I tend to 
realte to him some with his difficulty with women.  I still love that one
line, "It's been a lovely program, Geordi." - The high tech  turn down.

Maybe they wil kill Ro and Geordi and then bring them back again (like with Worf)
and they everybody on the net can complain about it for another few months.

Well, the Klingon word for Kronos is Qo'noS...

The Klingon word for "Klingon" is "tlhIngan"; the Klingon language is
"tlhIngan Hol" (literally, "Klingon language").

Interesting, as the Klingon word for "Romulus" is "romuluS" (and "Romulan"
is "romuluSngan").  Which would actually imply that the Klingons learned of
the Romulans from the Terrans, as Romulus was a figure from classical 
Terran mythology (as was his brother, Remus ["rIymuS" in tlhIngan Hol]).

Majel Barrett, aka Mrs. Gene Roddenberry, has played the following:

	- Number One, in _THE CAGE_
	- Nurse Chapel, in TOS
	- Lwaxana Troi, in TNG

Plus, she does the voice of the computer in TNG and did the _female_
computer voice in TOS.

I also seem to recall she showed up in one of the movies (IV???) as
a communications or medical person (not on the Enterprise, but at
Starfleet in San Francisco, so it probably _was_ IV).

Since I'm assuming that Geronimo is the one who said this, I'm
not prepared to believe this- it may be that he's just telling
the world what he hopes will happen... Either that, or he heard
something about the show trying to cut costs (doesn't Burton get

	I've been trying to figure out what makes for a better
ST:TNG episode, as a general rule. It seems to me that the better
episodes tend NOT to have most of their action on the Enterprise.
I realize it saves tons of money on sets, but... 8)

	It also seems that the worst episodes of late spend all
their time on the Enterprise dealing with something that is going
to destroy the Enterprise. What % of episodes from the 5th season
focused around something which was leading up to the destruction
of the enterprise?

"Lucy, Lucy, lemme splain!" :)

Imagine for instance the supposed no-win scenario was just four
Klingon cruisers closing on the Enterprise from all sides.  Maybe
Kirk figured a way to dupe them long enough for him to escape.
But if the simulator wasn't simulating what any thinking being
would call reality, then he couldn't win.

My belief is that Kirk didn't beleive the scenario as presented
in the Kobiyashi Maru was a no-win.  No fair dragging God into
the test.

I'll admit that he clearly skirted the issue of the no-win
scenario.  But I don't think all that happened to him on the
Enterprise in TOS left him unaware of that he could be beaten.

This was a last resort measure.  Better to try this, than to just
let billions die on Earth without trying anything.  Up to and
beyond this point Kirk showed extreme caution in dealing with
V'ger.  Not the actions of a man sure that "good will triuph over
all."

Well, there is one flaw in this which for me prevents it from being flawless.
At the end, IMHO, it should have been /much/ darker -- especially Kirk, since
he has just lost his closest friend of Gene-only-knows how many years.  Kirk
should've been going through some major emotional trauma, instead in one of
his last scenes, he smiles and prattles on about how "Spock's not really dead".

Seeing as how Spock's spectacular recovery in STIII:TSFS was so transparently
telegraphed, even before TWOK was over, much of the "drama" of TSFS was gone
for me.  I think TWOK is toppable.  Whether anything ever will is another
question...

Agreed.  What I've heard about how Harlan wanted to write the story would've

IMHO, Shatner turned in one of his best performances here.

Frankly, it never overcame its "silly deues ex machina premise" for me.
Still one of the better films, but with competition like TMP and TFF,
that's not saying much.

I think the main reason for this was to contrast the two eras (Real Trek and
TNG) as far as technological advancement goes. But to rationalize the
anomalies, pots and pans might be used for diplomatic functions - a sort of
tradition. Why the books I'm not totally sure. You'll also notice that
there were other areas of the movie which might be sharply contrasted with
TNG - the helm command for example, or the size of individual rooms, etc.)
