Yes!  Absolutely!  I sat and laughed out loud while reading HMFJTP.  I know
a lot of folks on the net don't seem to have liked it, but I did.  The robot
Marlene Dietric singing  "falling apart again..."  wonderful stuff.  I also
agree about Diane Duane.  She's one of the best Trek writers ever, and I'd
like to see her do a TNG novel.  Margaret Wander Bonanno's Dwellers in the
Crucible is also excellent, but my all-time top-of-the-list superb is
John Ford's _The Final Reflection_.

At a recent convention in Denver, Brent Spiner stated that he has no desire to
direct.  He just isn't interested in it.  He prefers acting, and would like to
do more comic bits, and perhaps have a little more freedom to 'ad lib' on 
occasion, and have the producers NOT cut his favorite scenes!

Date: Sat, 17 Oct 1992 02:40:58 GMT

When the Big E finds the Dyson Sphere, Riker notes that the
sphere is as big as the orbit of the Earth around the Sun. 
When the Big E is inside the Sphere, they are near enough to
the star to be affected by the solar flares, so they are about
as far from the hatch in the sphere as the Earth is from the 
Sun - about 93 million miles, right?
  Well, when Geordi and Scotty are
holding the hatch open, it only took the Big E a few seconds 
to travel that entire distance on IMPULSE power! At warp 1 it
would take 8 minutes let alone IMPULSE power! What gives?

Remember, Chief O'Brien was able to beam through the shields of the USS
_Phoenix_ in "The Wounded."  Presumably the _Phoenix_ had much more advanced
shields than the ones on Scotty's ship (I forget the name).  Plus, all
information about the shields of the other ship was still available in the

to get them out of there.

I agree, this was a pretty big oversight.  Simply having Data say "Impulse
engines are back on-line" would have sufficed to clear it up.

Overall, I enjoyed the episode.  The only thing that really disappointed me
was the Dyson sphere itself; I would have liked to have seen more shots
of the interior.  (_Ringworld_ fan speaking here!)  Of course, it wouldn't
have looked near as curved as it did on the show...but then no one would've
believed it was a sphere, so I guess that's a pointless flame.

But of the shots they did have, did you notice the HUGE ocean near the portal?
Makes the Great Oval Ocean of the Ringworld look like a mud puddle. :)

Also, why would you build a Dyson sphere out of neutronium?  It would
collapse under its own weight (unless you used some very large gravity
generators, which wouldn't justify the power cost!).

One final thing:  didn't Data say it was two hundred million MILES in
diameter?  What happened to SI?

The first time I read it I *hated* it and wondered what kind of crap it

again, and now again just in the last couple of months and heck man

(Whipping out his complete set of cards, with extras - I was waiting for
somebody to mention this:)

Card #13, ST:TNG Collector cards, inaugural edition

"Lieutenant Miles O'Brien"

Text from the back of the card:

"Miles O'Brien       Rank: Lieutenant Junior Grade

 A native of Ireland (Earth), "Chief" Miles Edward O Brien is the person
 in charge of maintenance and operation of the transporter system of the
 U.S.S. Enterprise. O'Brien was previously assigned as the tactical
 officer on the U.S.S. Rutledge under the command of Captain Benjamin
 Maxwell. His first assignment on the U.S.S. Enterprise was CONN
 operator on the Battle Bridge. He was married to Keiko Ishikawa by
 Captain Picard, and they now have a daughter, Molly."

In both photos of O'Brien for this card they use two solid pips.

better yet, that the actor played a different character, who just looked
the same by coincidence.  Like Christine Chapel, Number One, and Lwaxana
Troi.  Like Kate Pulaski, Anne Mulhall, and Miranda Jones.  And any of
a half-dozen actors who played redshirt security men and were killed,
but showed up with a different name and position next season.

That $240.00 a year (in our area) brings in about 40 different stations so your

Pardon my bluntness, but you need to learn how to shop!  Waldenbooks
had it marked 15% off on the very first day.  If you have a Preferred
Reader's card, that's another 10% off.  And for every $100 you purchase,
they send you a gift certificate for another $5 off.  While $10/year
