   That was caused by the Warp Drives not being fully tested and calibrated yet
, as StarFleet was in kinda of a hurry..., and the Warp Drives opened a
WormHole in space which sucked an asteroid in. In the movie they photon
torpedoed it to get rid of it. This is an example of what happens when your
drive isn't ready yet for use *not* of Warp field interactions. 

  You are right though, cute effects. :-)

No.  Don't kill him off.  I must say that I was (expectedly) disappointed
in First Duty.  I was hoping that the Board of Inquiry would have found
the Weasel guilty of failing to save the Universe and Friends at the same 
time.  Since the Federation does not have the death penalty -- the Weasel 
would be sent to a male Klingon prison for 30 years where he would serve 
as the prison shower attendent.

So we've got three plots: the obligatory ship-in-danger, a wedding
and what looks like another horrid Alexander story.

I'm going to break precedent and update my .sig BEFORE seeing the episode.
This one's hopeless.

I'm not supporting the Wesley character to any extent, but I think "First Duty"

Most schools have a listing of ftp sites in their computer room and 
I remember seeing the entire list of ftp sites in one of the newsgroups
so I assume that it is alright to post these.  Some of the reasons that
you may not be able to get into the site is

a) They are updating it.
b) System administration is all screwed up for the time being.
c) Some people have tried doing illegal things so they took it off
   line.
d) Not enough funding to keep it active.
e) They forgot to push the ON button. 
f) A terrorist has taken of their ftp site.
g) all but e & f.
h) one of the above.

The best thing to do is e-mail to the ftp site and I am sure someone 
would give you a reply on what is wrong.

I am also new to this, but I have gotten some inciteful info from ftp
sites myself.

Good God... Help us all.

I'm in agreement with Atsushi.  .25 :-)

I've always been able to at worst tolerate each character (in general, I
like them all, only there are times I want to throttle one or two), but
Alexander is one I seem real indifferent to (kinda like a typical obnoxious
kid -- I'll ignore it until mother takes him home :-).

I'm happy they had the guts to off K'ehlar some time ago.  Though personally,
except for the obvious repercussions from various groups, I wish they would
have offed Alexander instead.  Besides the ability to make it more heart-
wrenching, the potential story lines of surviving parents (plus a guest
actress whose character is enjoyable) is so much greater.

Maybe I'm more sensitive because this comes almost immediately after an
Alexander re-run.

     I was reading through the articles, and I saw references to a ST:TNG

That would be great, I think...  what would be the plot...          

	I think it would be cool for the TNG: Enterprise to meet up with the

I'll make this short and simple for you, Jim.  Is that okay?

I received a personal letter from Neil Norman of GNP Crescendo Records about the
next two "Star Trek" CDs that are going to be released.  According to him, the
next "ST:TNG" soundtrack will include the Dennis McCarthy episodes "Yesterday's
Enterprise", "Unification" and "Hollow Pursuits", and next "ST:TOS" soundtrack
will include the episodes "Shore Leave" and "The Naked Time".

I gave him the suggestion that many r.a.s.-ers have expressed about producing a
Jay Chattaway album.  No response on that though. >=(

This isn't strictly Star Trek, but I thought it might be interesting.
This article appeared in the March/April 1992 issue of The Planetary
Report and is reprinted with permission from The Planetary Society.

*************************************************************************

		Gene Roddenberry's Last Gift

A melancholy note.  A few days after Gene Roddenberry's death, we
received his last donation to The Planetary Society, earmarked for
Project META, our radio search for extraterrestrial intelligence.  

Gene had been a friend to the Society since its founding.  In 1981, as
we were beginning to build up our membership, be broke a long-standing
rule not to let his relationship with Star Trek fans be used for any
purpose not related to the show.  Gene signed an open letter to all
Star Trek fans recommending that they join and support The Planetary
Society.

In our early days, the Society was sometimes criticized for being more
interested in launching robots into space than in sending humans to
explore the planets.  In The Planetary Report (April/May 1981), Gene
rose to our defense, strongly stating his belief that The Planetary
Society filled the role of a broad-based organization representing all
pathways toward our goals in space.

In the years since, Gene helped the Society again and again by speaking
at our events and attending our fund-raising dinners.  Occasionally, we
were able to reciprocate by offering technical advice as he developed
Star Trek: The Next Generation.  

We will miss our friend.

The following was excerpted from The Grapevine, From Marilyn Beck and
Stacy Jenel Smith in Hollywood, as found in the San Jose Mercury News
on 4 April 1992.

			Controversial kissing scene canned

	A scene that involved kissing between ``Star Trek:  The Next
	Generation'' leading lady Marina Sirtis and Kim Delaney won't
	make it into the episode on NBC's upcoming ``The Fifth Corner''
	series for which it was shot.  Producer John Herzfeld says,
	``The actresses were improvising different versions of the
	scene'' (including the kissing).  ``I don't have any intentions
	of using it.  The sexual heat in the show -- and it is very
	hot -- is between Alex McArthur and Kim.  I want to stress
	that.''

	In the episode -- the fifth installment of the series that opens
	April 17 -- Sirtis plays a wild performance artist who does her
	bit clad only in cellophane.  ``The character does a very erotic
	performance for some people at her apartment.  She compliments
	Kim on her looks.  But in terms of her sexual advancements,
	there is no lesbianism,'' Herzfeld says.

Here are a couple of the questions from Celebrity Questions (By Stacy
Jenel Smith, Tribune Media Services) as found in the back of the TV
supplement to the San Jose Mercury News, for the week of April 12-18,
1992.

	Q:  I heard that Richard Dean Anderson of ``MacGyver'' is going
	    to be on the new ``Star Trek'' spinoff series.  Is it true?

	A:  No.  It's not true.  As of this writing, no one has been
	    cast for the syndicated ``Deep Space 9'' series.
	____

	Q:  Does the actor who plays Data on ``Star Trek:  The Next
	    Generation'' also play in the ``Saturday Night Live'' skit
	    where he sits in the office copier room, greeting everyone
	    with different versions of their names?

	A:  It's your imagination.  Brent Spiner plays Data, and Rob
	    Schneider is the guy on ``SNL.''
