	Or maybe it is their ability to cloak... Maybe the Borg can not detect 
them when they are cloaked?????

	How could the Borg "assimilate" something they can't see of find..

I'm not sure if this has been said already, but Doohan was being filmed
on partial sets of the bridge of the TOS Enterprise. I assume it was the 
Holodeck. He was drinking something that looked like a shamrock shake, and
was saying good-bye to his old crew members.

Doohan also said that there is some sort of accident that throws him into
the future (why does this happen to so few people on *purpose*), and that
he was very happy that he didn't have to wear old-age make-up.

Look.  r.a.s.current includes discussion about episodes that some people have
not yet seen.  Some of these people are reading it for the ongoing discussion
of the episodes they *have* seen, but don't want to read anything about the
ones they haven't.  It's common courtesy, in that case, to refrain from 
giving them all the gory details of those episodes.  If this were a group
which only discussed one episode at a time, I *might* be able to understand
your position, but as it is, your position strikes me as that of someone
who's claiming, "I can't be bothered to care about other people."  That's
vile.

Hello pepole - its Feiges here

Gosh I love star trek......  The next generation I think is just about the
best show on television....


My roomate has ALL star trek TNG episodes on tape, and he has them cataloged 
in a database on the macintosh....   He even has episode descriptions and 
episode ratings in each entry (he also has about 30 or so tapes dedicated 
to this endevour)

(Actually, my romate and I both have worked on it.... but he has done most
of everything - and they are his tapes)

Anyways, I was wondering if I could share this catalogue of star trek episodes
with the rest of the world (namely, the internet) ----

is anyone interested in this???

also, by the same tolken,  I  would like to see other star trek episode 
descriptions - gif picture files - episode catalogues - upcoming star trek
information (secrets - I guess) and the like

I guess my whole point  to this post is:  

Is there an FTP site (or sites) which have star trek information on them..

Can someone please tell me these sites..... Also, is anyone iterested in 
a copy of my roomates database???  Anyone interested in obtaining star
trek episodes (I can copy them and send them out ---- is that leagl???  I 
dunno...... Should I really care??)

please let me know the FTP sites, and/or what you think of all this (if
you are interested in the database I have mentioned or star trek episodes..

)

let me know via email:

thanx for your time......   please write me....

Actually, I think the "out of character" part was sleeping with someone
who was betrothed to someone else.  Picard would not monkey with another
monkey's monkey.  :)

That would be really great (in my humble opinion).  I read
_Strike Zone_ and found it hilariously funny, and it had
a great plot. _Vendetta_ was incredible.  Peter David would
make a great addition to ST:TNG's writing staff.

I'm in sporadic e-mail contact with one of the writing staff (through someone
else; he doesn't have an account himself).  I have it on his authority that
Stewart was absolutely *adamant* that Picard not sleep with Kamala; he felt
it would go completely against the grain.

That's probably as close to the horse's mouth as we're going to get; congrats

I saw on (I think) Entertainment Tonight last night that the TOS/TNG
cross-over show is going to air early in the 6th season!

James Doohan was interviewed for it, and they showed the set of the
OLD TOS Enterprise bridge, which had been reconstructed for this
episode.  This is not the fancy bridge from the movies, this is the
ancient-looking red-rail bridge from the TV series.

Details were not forthcoming, but the Enterprise (presumably the pre-A
Big E) takes a little trip forward in time and meets the E-D and their
crew.  I only caught the last part of the segment, but my roommate
tells me that DeForrest, Nichelle and Shatner will be appearing in it.
He didn't know if Nimoy would be in it also.

Doohan described his role in it briefly as the save-the-ship person,
only this time he helps Geordi save the E-D, in some sort of plot
which he would not tell about further.

Details, people, details!!!  I demand details!!!!  Did I dream this or
what???

Drat.  Here I was hoping to be the first with this info just obtained
by me from Jonathan Frakes at a convention today, and I see that 
someone has a broadcast schedule listing it already!
Well, yes it's true, Q is coming back.  Jonatahn didn't say much about
the plot of the episode, other than at some point Q sticks his head
through a wall (like that's new).

One other thing, he has been slated to direct episode number nine of
this season.

Other thing number two, he said he really rather liked "Imzadi," and
even said he thinks the production staff at Paramount would do well
to hire some of the novel writers to write episodes of the show.
I guess that includes Peter David, so here's a reference for you PAD!

Date: 25 Aug 92 23:45:05 GMT
Organization: People-Net [pnet51], Minneapolis, MN.

Taken from CNN 'Showbiz Today' on Thursday, August 25th 1992.

James Doohan will appear as "Scotty" in a sixth season episode of TNG called
'Relics.'  In this episode Scotty takes a 75 year 'jump' into the future,
from the original Enterprise bridge to the Enterprise-D.  Actually, it's not
the "original" bridge, but a re-creation; the original bridge is in the
Smithsonian.

The reason why Doohan didn't want to do a TNG episode at first is because he
didn't want to be 200 years old with "...five wrinkles every inch, like
DeForest Kelley did in the pilot."  This sounds like a super-duper episode,
and I can't wait for it to be aired.

NOTE: I believe I got the quote right; if I didn't, please correct me.

Thanks to all who helped out.

I really liked this episode as well...it wasn't ruined by the "I" incident.
But it did take a little drama out of the Picard-Hugh scene after I noticed
it.  Overall though, nicely done and one of the better episodes this season.

	I think the word was something like "Meckh Pah", I'm not sure
about how to spell it (obviously), but the ending of "Meckh" sounds 
like how Chris Plummer pronounced "To be or not to be" in STVI:TUC.  Hope
this helps you, I'm not sure if I did.

Why is it that ALL Borgs look human.  I understand that to be a Borg it would
make sense that a species would need to be humanoid, but why aren't any of the
Borg Klingons, Romulan, Ferengi, or an other for that matter?  It was also 
mentioned earlier about the Federation continually running into the Borg.
What about the Romulans or Klingons fighting the Borg?  Hmmm, strange!
