There are two other possible explanations for Molly's rapid development.

One is the no-doubt intensive education programs that the Enterprise and
all of 24th century life probably has.  It wouldn't surprise me if
pre-school didn't begin at six months old or sooner in their day and age,
knowing how fast the age is receding backwards these days....

The other is possible relativistic effects of travelling at high impulse
or warp speeds.....    :)   <----that is a smiley.  This is a JOKE.

Yah, I too would enjoy seeing Ms. Goldberg interview a ST:TNG personality.
But as I'm not a regular watcher of *any* late night talk show, I'm bound
to miss it.  If anybody out there manages to get reasonably advanced

All right, all right!  I've been reading about these hand motions for
what seems like weeks now, and I feel I must comment at this point.  The
hand motions were only used when she first began to teleport -- kind of
a learning tool.  If you will watch the show again, she does not use the
hand motions towards the end when she abducts Riker or when she removes
him.  How is that for an explanation?

  This is true.  Levar Burton has hosted "Reading Rainbow" for over 7-8
years now I think -- it's weird to think that I used to enjoy that show
*before* junior high and I'm now in my second year at UC Berkeley.  I
remeber when ST:TNG premiered ... I said, "Hey, that's Levar Burton!"

  Incidently, one episode of "Reading Rainbow" took place on the set to TNG
-- one of the things they looked at was Michael Dorn's makeup session
(that's where my first quote in my .sig comes from; Dorn said it as he was
leaving his makeup trailer).  Kind of like 'the making of ST:TNG.'

For the humor-impaired:

	For the benefit of anyone interested, and even those not, I have 
formulated a simple graph to monitor the Mentality Rating of ST:TNG, 
tracking this figure from season to season.  Mentality Rating is the sum 
total of Intelligence, Imagination, and Substance of this show (I+I+S=MR).

	Note the peak time during the third season, culminating around "Best 
of Both Worlds" to "Brothers" and heading straight for the, shall we say, 
"gutter" at about "Rascals," and continuing down into the sewers beneath
your average large city.
	This line also indicates the degradation of ST:TNG into a 
kids/masses show, for which it is generally oblivios of keen intellectual
stimulation.


	Note the curvature of this trend: (extrapolation required)

the normal end of the show would be a standard 'file footage' ending...

I really didnt see this episode as a 'western', maybe thats why I feel

Oh dear, I think things are going to get interesting (for a change).

After the awful football weekend (sob-sob) the Shabang-o-meter (not valid 
in 25 states) was preparing for a rather dismal showing of ST:TNG with the 
cautious title of Rascals.  Well, tie my shows and call me Bob, but I 
thought that this was one of the best of the season.  Give it a healthy 9.  
Yes, it was flawed (or else it would get a 10), but it was amusing, 
interesting and well-paced.  But so far this is only the 3rd review that I 
have seen that has been favorable - oh what the hell...

                  Star Trek The Last Generation

I just watched the November 7, 1992, episode where a few of the
members of the crew where transformed into children by a major
transporter accident.

This episode had so many major fatal flaws, it is hard to know
where to begin.  A major transporter accident could cause someone
to haver there atoms scatted through the universe or cause them to
explode or die, but turn back into a child!?  

A transporter is a device that encodes ones atoms into energy, then
transmits this energy in a pattern that can be decoded back into
atoms.  For this reason a transporter would work on an atomic level
and would never work on a genetic level.  If a transported did work
on a genetic level the way they are claiming it works on this
episode, it would be possible to re-create a person from a DNA
sample.  

Now I am sure there are a great deal of you out in NET land who are
going to tell me about BIO-FILTERS and the like.  Well before you
do please emplane how there clothing became just the right size to
fit?  

As well this episode has open the door to the fountain of youth. 
If every five or ten years I can just run myself through a BIO-
FILTER and take out the nasty ageing stuff, then I never need get
old, ever again.

And if all of this was not bad enough, it looks like next weeks
wild west episode will be somewhat more stupid to follow.  Who fell
asleep at the wheel, or should I say, who fell asleep at the
editing room?  Someone, please kill a few writers, as this junk has
got to end.  If we keep this up much longer, the show will become
"Star Trek The Last Generation".

I believe there's another meaning to the term as well. This is in
reference to Picard's (and now it's a gesture several others of the
crew have taken up as well) of pulling down on their tunics when
standing up after having been sitting down... Picard refined it to a
smart, snapping motion... :-)

Gee, if the show stays on the air long enough, it'll eventually
be a *great* episode, huh? Personally, I thought it was pretty
great on its own. I watched it with a 4.5 year old who always
says "Bill, we're not watching Star Trek tonight!" and we had
alot of fun, me explaining everything to her and all. Look for

I can understand that the computer would not recognize the young Picards
voice and thus would not allow him access to the computer.  However, in
ST-TWOK, Kirk accesses the computer via a retinal scan, which regardless of
age, should not change with time.  However, we have yet to see a retinal
security scan on ST-TNG.  I wonder why though???  A retinal scan would have
allowed the young Picard to access the computer as he needed.  If it were me,
silly as I am, I would have retained the retinal scan in addition to the
voice ID for that extra level of security which was needed in this particular
case.  I enjoyed the episode none the less..  however, I do agree with
previous posting that the big E was taken over all too quickly and over-
powered much to fast by two piddly birds of prey... other than that it was
OK...
