There were actually two shows that that character was in: one as just a
hologram (I have NO idea what the name of that one was), and as the actual
person in "Galaxy's Child" (I think 4th or 5th season).  Her name:  Dr. Leah
Brahms, and she was in research and development of warp engines (she was the
designer for the galaxy class starship warp engines.)

I think that the second show showed her as a very strong female character:
not only was she an engineer, she was married (somthing none of the other
female characters in the show are!)  Now that I think about it, BRING HER
BACK!

Well, Jane Fonda will probably surrender the ship to the Romulans or the

Organization: Vidiot's Hangout


The broadcast windows for TNG and DS9 are totally different.  This window
includes the initial airing of an episode and the replay of the same episode.
For TNG, it is a two-week window, that includes the 7-10pm Sunday time slot.
The Sunday time slot is the same weekend as the update.

For DS9 and "The Untouchables", the window is only one week and does not
include the Sunday of the uplink.

Because of the shorter one week window, our local station had to change the
scheduling of DS9 and Untouchables.  Even though the Saturday 10:30pm slot
hasn't changed, the replay slot is now the next night at midnight.  This
creates a really weird schedule for local viewers:

	Sat	10:30pm	ST:DS9 - previous weekend's uplink
	Sat	11:30pm	Untouchables - previous weekend's uplink
	Sun 	11pm	ST:TNG - weekend of uplink
	Sun	mid	ST:DS9 - repeat of Sat
	Sun	1am	Untouchables - repeat of Sat
	Fri	mid	ST:TNG - repeat of Sun

Yep, pretty weird.  The DS9 airing, while a day before TNG, is actually a
week later.  The Sunday schedule has all three programs, two of which are
a week later.

I don't know if you are spending enough time around the tv, but you
shouldn't be spending so much time in front of a computer terminal. It is
making you very confused.
First off, there is no such thing as STIII:TVH! You either mean STIII:TSFS
(The Search for Spock) or STIV:TVH (The Voyage Home). Which one is it?
As for Savick being the same person as (I assume you mean Rebecca) the
woman from Cheers, you still have the movie wrong! That would be STII: The
Wrath of Khan. (Incidentally, I forget her ST name, but it wasn't Savick.)
If you do mean Savick (from either STIII or STIV) then I'm not sure which
Cheers actress you mean, because she doesn't look familiar to me. (Maybe
she guest starred on Cheers?)

He also played the bad guy in "Robocop" and "Total Recall," which is the main
reason he was immediately suspect when he showed up as Captain Jellico.  Ronny

Neither TNG nor DSN is a network show.  They are syndicated and so are shown
by independent stations.  Most Fox stations show both TNG and DSN.  But that
is not the case everywhere.  For example KVIA -Channel 7 in El Paso shows TNG
and DSN.  Incidentally KVIA is an ABC station but that has nothing to do with
it showing Star Trek.  

	But I think Space Rangers is a CBS network show.

Deep Space 9: This is the official Star Trek Spinoff. Said to be a little 
              darker in style. Chief O'Brian will be a regular. Picard will
              be in the two hour pilot.  

Babylon 5: This show at first looks like a cheap knock-off of Deep Space 9
           But the plans for this have been around for several years and I
           suspect that DS9 was developed because of this show. The scenarios
           for both shows are VERY similar. Stars mostly actors from the NY
           stage. Special Effects are said to be be state of the art.     
    
Sea Quest: A Major effort by Spielburg and Co. Set on Earth 100 yrs in the 
           future. Deals with life in a city under the ocean. An updated 
           'Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea'? NBC has bought 22 episodes 
           sight unseen. Starts Nov '93.

Space Rangers: A 'western' set in space. Will star Linda Hunt. On CBS Starts
               Jan '93. If TOS was Wagon Train is this Gunsmoke?

Time Trax: Sort of an updated 'Time Tunnel' (without the tunnel) with a dash
           of the Fugitive (without the one armed killer!)

I think your memory fails you.  Ever since the first season, TNG security
officers have worn gold (except Worf, who, for some reason, wore red in
the first season).

Not the same thing, Riker had to take his shot then, or lose it.  Jellico could

Well, in the first Cardassian episode, a rogue fed captain wandered around blowing up
cardassian ships, and they believed that.  (Kinda looks like he was right).

Detect lies and deceit?  Since when has Troi been able to detect
anything but the most blatantly obvious?  And then only when it
served to advance the plot.

If I was part of a conspiracy and concerned about being
discovered, the person I'd want off the ship would be
Data.  (His failure to detect the Romulan spy in "Data's

But why's she on the Bridge then? I'm sure schoolteachers and chaplains
aren't allowed in the Command Center. And it's her rank a little high for
non-military officer? (I'm just guessing with the last one so, I might
be wrong)

Get picky? I think you're being quite picky yourself. Anyone with .5 a 
brain would know that 2.5 means 2 solid and one empty. And Lt. Cmdr. is
*NOT* a type of commander. And no Lt. JG. is *NOT* a Lt. I've never
been in the military, but I'm more than quite sure that most military
types here would agree that there is a BIG difference between a Commander
and Lt. Commander. 

If you use your reasoning, shouldn't a Lt. Commander be a type of Lt. if
Lt Jonior Grade is a type of Lt.?
