No flames.  Just a clarification.  In "Journey to Babel" of TOS, Sarek
is supposed to be 100 (102?).  I can never get straight whether TNG is
75 (78?) years from the original series or the movies, so lets just tack
on another 100 years to TNG time.  That makes Sarek only 200 or so years
old in the TNG episode.

Pretty scary, they knowledge they've accumulated (assimilated?)

	At one point in TOS (I think "The Trouble With Tribbles", in
the teaser), Chekov makes some remark about a little old lady from
Leningrad.  If not that particular episode, then somewhere else, but
I am sure he made such a remark.

	As time passes, the dichotomy between the "real" world and
the Star Trek timeline is only going to increase.  After all, we
should have seen Khan Noonien Singh's name in the papers by now :)

	Look at "2001:  A Space Odyssey".  Pan-Am shuttle?  Pan-Am
went bankrupt earlier this year.  Bell Telephone with a $1.70 visi-
phone call from Earth to orbiter?  The Bell system died in 1984.  And
I have not heard of any HAL computers singing "Daisy, Daisy" yet :)

Nope, he isn't. The BBC originally edited TOS episodes so that we saw
Credits-Teaser-Episode and has only now decided to show TOS the
"proper" way.

Puzzling...  Unification (I and II) were the 107th and 108th broadcast of
ST:TNG.  In it appeared Spock, but I've never seen the show, so I can't tell
you about Yar.

I doubt this previews was for a feature film, at any rate.

Well, in "The Trouble with Tribbles" I believe Kirk ordered a chicken sandwich

Gummi bugs representing the creatures in TNG "Conspiracy"
Ten chocolate sundays (if you're feeling abominable)
Riker Omlets
Vegtable soup from "Inner Light"
"Skin of Evil Cocoa"
Whatever that drink was that Troi won for defeating Data in chess: Sumarain

The Alien probe projecting life experiences in Picards mind.
He really didn't live through it, but does have the
memory of the peoples experiences. All this occurred
within 20 real life yime minutes. I guess you could

I don't go by the book!!  :-)  I go by the show, which is considered, I
believe, to be the canon source of information.  Somewhere (I wish I
could remember which show it was on), Picard *says* that he was in
charge of the away mission where Jack Crusher was killed, so BZZZZZTTTTT
yourself!  You might learn to be a little less acrimonious in your

I was browsing through the current TV Guide and noticed that
Suzie Plakson will apparently have a regular role in a new
CBS-TV comedy this fall, "Love and War" on Monday evenings.

The show will star Susan Dey (aka Laurie Partridge, among
others) and Jay Thomas (who I first remember seeing in
Mork and Mindy). It will air at 9:30 p.m. following "Murphy
Brown" and has some of the same talent involved from
that show.

TV Guide calls it "A great show. A hit." Other regulars are
to include John Hancock, Joel Murray, Michael Nouri, and
Joanna Gleason. Nouri is the only one familiar to me.

Unfortunately, the article offers not a clue as to what role
Plakson will play. You fans will just have to tune in and
find out!

Ok, now as we all anticipate the end of the cliffhanger next Monday, now
may be a good time to look back at the last 5 years, and give credit where
it is due.  A show like ST:TNG is ALWAYS overlooked at the Emmys for the
good awards (best actor, etc...), so now it is your turn to vote for your
favorite people.
I am doing a poll (my own initiative, no one is forcing me to do this) to
determine the best stuff of TNG over the last 5 seasons according to 
rasc readers.  Votes are to be sent to this address (so you can just <r>eply
to this message :), and I would like to report the result before TAII airs
next monday (9/21/92), so please send youre votes by Tuesday.

The following list is the catergories that you may vote in.  An explaination:
a main character would be Steward, Spiner, etc..one that is in every episode.
a reoccuring character would be a crewmember (dr. selar, ensign brocoli) or
something like Q.  a guest star is a character that has been on once or 
twice (yar - post-season 1,vash), in other words, their name appears in
the beginning of the first act.

THE CATEGORIES:
Best Actor
Best Actor (main character)
Best Actor (reoccuring)
Best Actor (guest)
Best Actress
Best Actress (main character)
Best Actress (reoccuring)
Best Actress (guest)
Best Performance by an Actor
Best Performance by an Actress
Best Episode
Best Directed Epidose
Best Director
Best Music for an episode
Best Composer
Best Art/Makeup/Costume design for an episode
Best Season
and of course
Best SFX (what? in a ST episode...na.....)


Please keep answers short as possible.  If you DO have extra to add, please do
so, but I dont need explainations of why you chose ywho you did...

Thank you for your time.

I seriously doubt you can judge a characters originality based on their
gender!  I mean, TOS they did a male doctor, TNG they did a female
doctor, so then what's left for DSN?  Sure, you can have an androgynous
N'gii but why?  DSN's doctor is a male but you can't say "Oooh!  A McCoy
mock-up!  CHEEAP!".  From what I found, Pulaski was a CHEAAAAP McCoy
mock-up.  But anyways, I think everyone is original and will work well
except for, perhaps, the shapeshifter Odo.  Sure, a shapeshifter
is original and neat but yet again, we have a character who seeks to be
"more human" and is continually trying to contemplate humanity.  Odo
will already be PART human unlike Data who has no emotions and thus,
CANNOT be human (okay, that part is up for debate) which will be a bit
of a change, but basically the Spock/Data premise will be there.

	Hope this doessn't count as a FAQ, but I couldn`t find a FAQL: When
will the season premiere be broadcast?  Has the rest of the season 6
schedule been released yet?

	Thanks.  Cheers.

How should we go about splitting r.a.st.c? ;-) ;-) ;-)
