Well, I don't think termination is as much a threat to them as it is to us,
seeing as how they live in all times simoultaneously (apparently). Also, it
is possible that they just weren't aware of the meaning of the word ~death."

These two "inconsistencies" sort of explain each other. Obviously, gas anomaly
tracking equipment will track only ships cloaked with the device that allows
them to fire. Since ships cloaked with such a device are so easy to detect, the
Klingons shelved it and returned to the original design.

This is supported by the fact that TNG Klingon and Romulan ships have been shown
to have to decloak to fire.

I don't know whether this has been bouncing around the net in the weeks that
I've been off for Chrimbo, but on Saturday, on a British television programme
called Going Live (You US chaps and chappesses probably won't know it), they
had George Takei (Sulu) on for an interview.

In the small amount of time that he was on, he briefly announced (exclusivly)
that Star Trek 7 was _definiately_ going to happen.

Unfortunately, he did not say who that script was going to be by, or what the
subtitle of the film would be, although he jokingly (?) said that he was 
rooting for 'The Adventures of Captain Sulu'.

If any other people saw the later interview (which I missed :-( ) , I'm sure
a lot of people would be very interested to get more info.

	I don't even know why I even bother to keep up with Star Trek anymore. 
So far, the only trek I've concidered good were the old episodes.  So what if
the special effects were cheezy, I still like them.
	When they made TOS, many of the episodes had a moral to them that was
something of an editorial of the times - the one with the half 'n' half black
and white guys comes to mind.  Prejudism and segregation... you know what I
mean.
	The problem seems to be that they are writing TNG for todays audiences
- not that there's a problem with that, but I guess if I wanted all the really
bad plot lines and the complete lack of continuity, I'd watch the Back to the
Future series in reverse.
	Now, DS9 has come out, and it suffers the same problems already.  I
guess my major bitch with it is the bit that Rodenberry didn't seem to like the
idea, so someone took some serious advantage - weeks after his death - to
announce the new ST series.
		I'd be interested to hear anyone's ideas and flames.

It's been done - TOS "Balance of Terror".  You might also be able to count

In naval tradition the captain specifies in his standing orders who will
be allowed on the bridge. In the US navy a chief sometimes stands bridge
watch as the conning officer in place of the usual ensign.

A yeoman is an enlisted rate yet in TOS Yeoman Rand was on the bridge
quite a bit. In TNG maybe Picard just didn't want Wesly hangin around :-).

As for TNG, 29 will now show it Sat. at 6 pm and 6 will continue to show
