Because Patrick Stewart a.k.a. Jean-Luc Picard has a British accent, not a
French one...

Well, I'm not sure of that - I'm not English-speaking myself - but I can
assure you he does not have a French accent. (I'm sure most of you have
noticed... ;-)  )

Talking about that, if Picard was to have a British accent, I would rather
had him being British, but <sigh>, too late for that, eh?   ;-)

Just wait until next week when it will be the second worst of all time.

The week after that, it will be the third worst.

I just think it's funny to make Barkley out as a "loon" for being afraid of
the transporter and pointing out it's quadruple-redundant systems that can't
fail and then, a couple of weeks later, turning everybody into children with
the d*mn transporter.

While I was watching this episode, I couldn't help but think that if the crew
of the Enterprise ever went up against an intelligent, latently violent 
adversary, they would be in BIG trouble.  Examples of this kind of adversary
would include the villians from just about any blockbuster summer action movie.
I wish the writers would give the viewers some credit.  Do they really expect
us to BELIEVE that all non-human races are completely incapable of intelligent
malevolance?  Maybe Star Trek needs some new adversaries.  As a player of 
Dungeons & Dragons, I'd throw my vote in for something similar to a Mind
Flayer.  

What do you guys out there think?  It's just something that's been bugging
me for a while, and it became extremely apparent on this episode.

Here in Champaign-Urbana, ST:TNG airs on the FOX station, and
throughout the episode we were seeing commercials for Wednesday's
_Beverly Hills 90210_ episode.  ("I thought you said Dylan could
see whoever he wanted."  "And I thought you were my best friend.")

We decided that this was to remind us that AFOD (as well as
several other episodes of ST:TNG) was only bad in comparison
to other TNG episodes, and if you compare it to 90210, it still
has good acting and good writing.

1/2 :)

Please forgive me if this has already been discussed, but I've seen no

I saw on AOL that Majel Barrett confirmed, at a west coast convention,
that Paramount has given the go ahead on Star Trek VII.  Is there any
truth to this?  Supposedly it would start filming in April, to be
released Summer '94.  Leonard Nimoy is supposed to be involved, Picard
will be seen in some way as a young boy I believe...  

Does anybody have any concrete facts on this?

With all the references to Kei of Naughty Pair, (the Japanese Anime/Manga
series), I just realized that "Keiko" means "little Kei", (or "child of Kei",
if you translate literally).  I didn't see the written Japanese, so I have no
idea if it's the SAME KEI kanji.  Also, does anyone know about Rosiland Chao ? 
The last name is probably Chinese, but not likely to be Japanese.  (Don't flame
me, it seems perfectly acceptable to have a Brit play a Frenchman (Picard) --
I'm just curious about the actress.

From my reference books, Rosiland Chao had major roles in "The Terry Fox Story"
and "White Ghost" (1988, William Cat as Rambo -> turkey).  Looks like she might
get more exposure in ST:DSN.

Except that we know there are numerous ( **VERY** ) redundant failsafe

a failsafe to kick in and cause error correction (in computer science,
there are some error correcting algorithms for data transfer that can do
some pretty impressive stuff... with numbers).

Subject: ST:TNG Uniforms: why the zipper?
Organization: University of Maryland, Baltimore County Campus
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 1992 05:01:48 GMT

I have been noticing this for a while: several of the crewmember's
uniforms have zippers up the back.  It was in the True Q episode
in which I really noticed it glaringly obviously: a full back shot
which obviously had a zipper-clasp at the top.

Does Jean-Luc come on to the bridge in the morning and ask, "Will,
zip me up, please?"

Now, TOS had hidden zippers on the uniforms.  You couldn't get Nimoy's
shirt off over his head without ripping off his ears.  But the designer
hid them, so you didn't notice or care.  The same man (William Ware
Theiss) also designed the original TNG uniforms, and those had hidden
zippers.  

Point blank: why would a military uniform be designed so that it is
hard to get in to?  I know you CAN zip yourself up, but in the 24th
centuty there has got to be a better way.  Any ideas?

			My own uneducated guess as to why the Enterprise gets
bested by other ships so frequently is that they don't go into every situation
with guns blazing. Usually when a ship does that it's kind of considered an ACT
OF WAR, is it not? And does the peace-lovin' Federation, who just a few decades
ago finished a long icky battle with the Klingons, *really* want to antagonize
any other races? That'd kinda be like saying, "well, gee, such-and-such country
just hijacked a plane... let's nuke 'em.". Kinda extreme. And even in
self-defense, "they hit me first" is a poor excuse to go testosterone-ing one's

I am a ST fan, but many of my friends are not.  Well, some of them just
happened to see Rascals last week and they really liked it!  I suspect they
found it entertaining because they're not so wrapped up in the techno-plots
and plausibilities like the majority of critics on this net.

I also liked the episode, but I won't address the critisms (some valid--but
they didn't *ruin* the show) since I didn't add spoiler warnings.  I accept
critiquing every episode because they could always use improvement, but
can't some of you just relax and not try to make the show so realistic?

I can't believe you give this an 8.5. Certainly this was in the
"Watchable if your a Star Trek junkie catagory". Some real bad points
were that Troi is in it, and Worf's son is in it. 

And, try as he might, I don't believe Spiner was well cast. He did not
pull of the job for my tastes. 

There were some good lines, like "Barclay helped me create it"
(referring to the holodeck episode). But this episode lacked suspense,
fails miserably in using a worn out plot device, has no character
development to justify the action, not enough sci-fi, and bad acting.

And Troi's accent was just grotesque. Data's was not much better.

(And, no, I'm not thinking of the episode "Tin Man", with the Enterprise and

Here it is...
 
Our knowledge of science is limited...

In 400 years, someone may find that RVN does control something..
I mean WE don't know what
EVERY part of out own bodies do.

So Until EVERY ability and function of EVERY body part is
discovered 
I have no problem with Rascels....

I like the damn episode..

My opinion about "Rascals" and more:

	This episode was one of the worst of all time.  The science was
totally unfeasible, the plot was ridiculous and cliche, the lines were
without substance.  I felt so bad watching this show, wondering why it's been
so bad in the sixth season ... wondering what happened to the brilliance of
the third.  The show seems to have lost its originality, its intelligence,
and above all, its true substance. 

	I am a serious fan of this show, but I can't help but think that 
what I am a fan of is wholly in the past.  *big sigh*  I hope it picks back
up ...

	Onward ...
