In the Tech Manual, it sez that dolphins are used (as a sentient race) to
aid in navigation or something.  Check it out.

I think it is still running, but call first to make sure.  Tickets are
free, and may be picked up at the information desk on the same day that
you attend.  The tickets are only needed to make sure that they do not
get too many people in the exhibit at one time.  The tickets have a time
marked on them to indicate when you can get in.  On a busy day, it might
be several hours from when you get the ticket to when you can get in.
The best advice is to go early and pick up tickets right away.

Hey, If I were a dolphin, I'd let the humans chauffeur me around.  Let
the pesky humans do all the tough stuff like building the ships, then just
hop on and go for a ride, complete with all the fresh fish they could
bring me.  If I thought the apemen were taking advantage of my
superior dolphin intellect, I would just lie to the helmsman and take
the ship to the overcrowded planet of the boneless herring-people.
That'd show them who's boss.

I will just repeat here what I said in my official information post from
words that reached our ears from both Marina Sirtis and the jerk who runs
CreationCons this past weekend in Minneapolis:

The casting as of Saturday was finalized but not yet announced with the
exception of the Trill character inhabiting a 28 year-old attractive female.
This Trill used to inhabit the body of an old man whom Commander Sisko
knew and valued as one of his most respected mentors and teachers.
How he will deal with this person in such a body will be interesting.
We do know that the actor playing Cmdr. Sisko is African-American and
fairly well-known to television viewers already from somewhere else.

Now, let's entertain guesses shall we?  This should be fun.....
Arsenio Hall?  No, already has his own show.....
Robert Guillaume?  Very possible.
Anyone else?

I just downloaded a frame grab of the watch they found in the cave 
under San Fran in Time's Arrow.  I think it says:

To S.L.C.
With Love
30 November
1889

I believe that Mark Twain's full name was Samuel Longhorn Clemens, and
Data was transported back to the 1890s.  Mark Twain also looked at his
pocket watch several times during the show.  This would lead me to conclude
that the watch they found in the 24th century under San Francisco belonged
to Mark Twain.

Whether this is significant or not is another story.

The frame grab is available as a gif via ftp on vab02.larc.nasa.gov
in the /gifs/misc/startrek directory.  The file name is "sttng503.gif".

I think the primary reason they didn't hook up Data's nineteenth century
head to his twenty-fourth century body is because they did not think
about doing that.  And that does seem probable.  Also, they mentioned
something about important neural connections being destroyed.  However,
if the theory is correct in that they reattach his head, perhaps they
will return with knowledge about how to do it

Just finished reading the new TOS novel SANCTUARY by John Vornholt.  My
general impression is that the characterization is not particularly 
impressive. (Well,it is not dull either, but it does have some funny 
portraying of the Klingons, for instance.) The plot, however, provides
enough interest to keep one reading on.  All in all I would say that this
novel is good for one reading (unlike some other ST novels which can be
read more than once, such as UHURA'S SONG or VENDETTA).

My husband and I were out in DC last week and saw it.  It was pretty neat.  Get
there early though.  We were there at 9 am and had to stand in line for 15 
minutes to get tickets, which wasn't too bad.  However, when we came out of  
the exhibit, there was a LONG line of people waiting to get in.  BTW, I hear 
that the exhibit ends at the beginning of September, so if you're going to go,
go now!

This is the main reason that Scotty is being introduced into TNG.  The
chief engineer is an important role and rather than take time to develop
a new character, the producers felt it a good idea to use a characte
already well known to the audience.  Colm Meaney (the transporter chief)
was considered as a replacement, but as he is signed on for DS9, the
decision to use Scotty was made.
