Two points:
1) I feel like an idiot for not reading the net and missing Richard Arnold's

Any idea of a release date for _Darkly_?

Does anyone know what the supposed birth dates of some of TNG crew are?
I believe they were shown on the episode where everyone lost their memories
and Worf took command for a while (I can't quite think of the name right now).
When the crew rosters were recovered and brought up on computer, it showed
their birth dates.

Anybody's birth dates will do.  I'm just curious.

Thanks all,

When I first saw the Episode Where silence has lease I was under the

problem is I understood the meaning of the mistitled one.  Because of
the scientific experimenting superior attitude of Nagilum.
I have no idea what the actual title signifies.

Does anyone know what TNG's future is in the UK ?   TNG is due to finish at
the end of this month (probably with best of both worlds 1 ans a cliff hanger)

I phoned the BBC & they told me that they had no current plans to buy season 4
and were going to start showing TOS again.  I also heared rumours that Sky TV
are looking into buying TNG.  I checked with them & they also are unsure of
what's going to happen!  Does anyone have any inside info ??!  The situation
seems very confusing at the moment.

If Sky take over from the BBC I gues I'll have to start saving up for a satelite
dish :-( but at least we'll then get it in stereo!

Hello all,

I haven't posted to RAS* in a while so here it goes:

There is now in existance a MUSE - Multi User Simulated Environment - game
based on the Original Series and the movies.  This is a MUD style game.  A
MUD is simply an environment where one can interact with others and enjoy
the surroundings.  In our MUSE we try to better the Star Trek phenomenon and
live up to it's tradition and history.  Our MUSE takes place AFTER Star Trek VI
and continues the saga from there.  We do not use any history as given in TNG
and instead follow our own history.  THere are many things to do, from
exploring planets to fighting battles.  THe attempt is made to make this as
realistic as possible.

There is also in existance another fine MUSE based on the Next Generation.  It
follows that aspect of the saga and also offers MANY MANY fine things.

Come and see both of the MUSEs and have some FUN!

Address for TOS TrekMUSE is:

Numerics:  149.142.136.3
Name:  blazer.med.ucla.edu
Port:  1701

Address for TNG TrekMUSE is:

Numerics:  18.80.0.247
Name:  excalibur.mit.edu
Port:  1701

If you need any help getting started on either MUSE just page me on either
TOS or TNG TrekMUSE and I will do the best I can.  My character name on BOTH
MUSEs is MacGyver.

GET A CLUE!  They likely did this to illustrate the connection from one
series to another, to make it blindingly obvious that we are talking
about the same universe in both cases.

Maybe the "blindingly" part was a little stronger than the "obvious."

IMO, very few episodes *focused around* something destroying the Enterprise.
Many of them use it as a subplot to generate artificial tension 
or as a plot device to set up some other premise -- and in general, these 
"tacked-on-menaces" subplots tend to get in the way. I just ignore them
usually, unless they get really intrusive (as it did in NEW GROUND.)

IMO, the episodes this season where the MAJOR focus was on preventing the
Enterprise from being destroyed were POWER PLAY, CAUSE & EFFECT and
(sort of) DISASTER. I loathe PP and I feel ambivalent about C&E and D. 
I don't think premise is everything. Execution counts for a lot.

A friend of mine, Ryan K. Johnson, creater of the infamous parody "Star Trek -
The Pepsi Generation", filmed 3 Dr. Who episodes of his own featuring a
female Doctor.  They were each full 1/2 hour episodes and are at least up
to the production "standards" of the real show.  The fact that the woman
who played the Doctor looks like she could be Tom Baker's sister added
to the effect.

To quote the Doctor upon seeing his/her new face reflected in a window:
"Damn!  Something must have fouled in the matrix.".
