Well, "Hide & Q" and "Q-Pid" *deserve* to be ripped, IMO; "E@F" a little
less so, though I could have done without the dual-plot structure.

I think "Deja Q" easily tops its siblings in the comedic episode
department and vies with "Q Who" as the best of the Q stories
(I don't recall Van Hise panning "Q Who", though it's been a
while.)

Must have seen a different episode from the one I did.

Actually I'd like to see Kirk on TNG. I'd like to see his `cowboy'
style of diplomacy contrasted with that of Picard's.  That would make
for interestin character conflict, if the writers can handle that.

*SPOILERS* about season 6 "Relics"








Wow, reconstructing the bridge of the NCC 1701 just for one episode.
OK, it's only part of the bridge, but they seem to have been very
careful to get everything right - and it looks good.  (I noticed
mention that the orinial was in the Smithsonian.  Does anyone know if
it's just there for the NASM exhibit, or is it a permanent feature?)

Perhaps the set is for a holodeck sequence.  I can think of no other
reason they would have used that one rather than the one from STVI.

Did anyone else notice the fact that Scotty was wearing a TNG
communicator pin?  His costume was definitly not TNG, so it makes me
wonder.

	Aren't the Ferengi a humanoid race?  The have arms and legs and a

True, the show was not an actors' showcase, but then, it's very, very rare
that a show that is works at all for me.  Trek Classic was much more of a
*writers'* showcase, which to me is far preferable.  The acting was all fine,
though not outstanding, but it did precisely what was expected of it.  The
writing was outstanding, whereas TNG's is... substandard, for the most part.

Yes.  For five years now.  The characters are, for the most part, shapeless
and pale, and the stories are averaged-to-wretched more often than not.

>As far as the acting, it is excellent.  I really don't see much better
>as on TV.

Which isn't saying much.  But, just for kicks, I think there are plenty of
actors around who can equal most of the ones on TNG.  Jeremy Brett (Sherlock
Holmes on Mystery!), Peter Davison (Campion on Mystery!) and the man who
plays Stone on Law And Order (Michael Moriarty?) can all, I think, easily
hold their own even to Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner.

All three of these gentlement I think have the advantage of Stewart, though,
in that they have superior material to work with.

I found myself relating to them frequently, and still do, for that matter.
(I think Star Trek II shows a strength of character which is orders of

About a year ago my wife was watching a tape of a TNG episode
when she noticed that as Picard was leaving the bridge for his ready room, 
perhaps with Ryker, his jaws dropped open as if he had seen a ghost 
or a nude woman through the doorway.  This was *not* part of the
episode plot!  

A commerical ran just after his jaw dropped.   When the commercial was
over the show continued as if nothing happened.  We replayed the tape,
frame by frame, and sure enough our eyes had not deceived us.  It looks
as if someone had played a joke on Patrick Stewart putting something
offscreen to get a reaction out of him.
  
My wife & I have forgotten which episode this occurred in.  I believe
it was third or fourth season....can someone help us with the episode
name???

How can this be?  How can the Enterprise crew not only travel into the past,

how tied up in this fictitious past?

He blew it.  It should have been "We are Hugh."  Later on he reverts to
"we", as you pointed out.  I'm surprised that made it past editing,
because it really lessens the impact later on when he tells Picard
"I am Hugh."  It doesn't ruin the scene, but it does take something out
of it.

	Well, actually, no. Casting for the movie version of M. BUTTERFLY
revolved on getting someone who could pass in closeup; not an easy task.


  I'm arguing that,

	And what I'm pointing out is that this isn't necessarily have to
be the case. However, to do a convinving job of androgyny (which would be
very effective with the audience and would have helped the theme of
the show) would tkae more prep time and better writing than this
production team is likely to give.
