O.K., let's say the tree does simply die and rot and doesn't care.  Well, 
it would have one less leaf that would rot with it.  And thus, many bacteria
would not survive because of it, or perhaps, many bacteria would not exist
because of that one missing leaf.  Then, because those microbes didn't
exist, this would have an effect on something else.  And so on and so on.
Or perhaps those bacteria would not be effected, but instead a tiny plant
next to the tree would be depending on the leaf that would eventually
fall for nourishment.  But because it was pulled, it would not be as
healthy.  Then so on and so on.  As I was saying before, there are so many
endless possibilities of what could happen, that something must happen.
And this would have a profound effect on someone, not necessarily on
global thermonuclear war, nor even the outcome of the philosophy class on
Freshman Dorm.  But it would have a profound effect on someone eventually.
And speaking of Freshman Dorm, that show was so cheesy that I had to buy
another box of Ritz to put all the Cheese on.  Can't wait until next week's
show.

     Hi,

     Sorry if I commit any heinous acts of courtesy crime here, but first a bit
of non-ST info.......anyone notice that Margaret Weiss has posted stuff here?
Margaret, if you're out there....I loved the Star of the Guardians trilogy!
     Now to Star Trek. DS9.....hmmmmmm....I may actually watch it to see if 
it's worth my time.....funny.....I thought the same thing about TNG after 
_Encounter_at_Farpoint. Oh Well!
     There has been a sorta on-going conversation about who the sexiest woman
on the TNG crew is......now, I think this person has missed the fact that Wil
Riker sits on the board that must decide who gets transferred to the Big E. 
HE MUST!! I mean, EVERY woman on that ship is astoundingly beautiful (at least
those we've seen so far....) and those uniforms the crew wears do nothing to
show off their bodies......nah, it couldn't happen.......and the cameras don't
focus in on women crewmembers as they are picking themselves up from the floor
of the bridge......nah, couldn't happen. (Enterprise turning to
Jello.....nitrium....asteriods....Lwaxana Troi getting married to a
prude.....name that episode).....
     Anyway, if I were given the choice of Guinan, Troi, and Crusher, I would 
have to pick Crusher. While she doesn't have as much class as Guinan, I would
not want to have a relationship with a ship's counselor.

Did you read Imzadi?  That tells of the story about Riker and Deanna?  I also
hear that Vendetta (I think) tells of the story (or at least mentions it) of
Jack Crusher's death.  These are not episodes, but they are about the past's of
some of the main charaters.

This is beginning to become `Catalogue of Afro-American Actors',
but a couple of others whose work I have enjoyed:

Brock Peters: you would recognize his face as one you have seen many
times before in character roles, but lately it seems that his
television presence is in doing cartoon villain voices.  Marvelous
voice; he played Darth Vader in the radio adaptation of Star Wars and
The Empire Strikes Back.

Roscoe Lee Browne: He seems to do a fair number of sitcom guest roles,
sometimes with a more Caribbean accent.  He is typically a classy,
maybe snobby, always sort of sly middle-aged role, not really a
`command type' though.

William Marshall: How can we forget Doctor Richard Daystrom?  (or the
King of Cartoons, for that matter).  An actor with real `presence',
but perhaps just a bit too old.


For my part, if I were Paramount, I'd pay James Earl Jones the money.
He could singlehandedly `anchor' the cast in the same way that Patrick
Stewart has done with ST:TNG, and would get the snob critics and Emmy
nominators thinking more seriously about the series.

There's lots of new stuff I've not heard about in the trek networks, mostly
because STTNG has only got as far as BOBW part II over here in UK so all this
season 4,5,6 stuff is a bit new to me. I have heard of Deep Space Nine but what
is babylon5????

In Encounter at Farpoint, who else could it be other than Dr McCoy, read the book

Oh boy.  I had this same arguement with Tim Lynch almost a year ago.  Back
then, I was arguing your side.  After seeing the episode for myself,
I tend to agree with Tim.  Let's see if I can do his arguement justice.

Why shouldn't we?  If you are going to build an android/robot that can
think and learn and act on its own, why *shouldn't* it be allowed to
do just that?

>Computer systems are emerging that can be considered sentient.  And

Well, to quote Tim:  "Why should anything that can understand and can desire
the freedom to choose, be denied that freedom?"  Not exactly quoted, but
I think that's close.

I couldn't come up with an answer either.


PS. Tim, did I get the right idea? :-)

     This bugged me a bit too. But have a look at the scene where Chekov makes
a break for it again. The phaser didn't work. Something was also very wrong
with the communicators (all the static when he & Uhura were trying to beam
out). And Chekov's comment "Must be the radiation!"

     I came to the conclusion that the radiation had fried the equipment (hey,
it *was* Klingon after all, likely built by the lowest bidder; not like that
top line Starfleet stuff :-) If the components were damaged badly enough, 20th
century techs wouldn't get much out of it. Lots of possible holes in the idea,
but it can work to explain it.
     But the other ideas aren't bad either... :-)

Yeah, and will the Beeb actually show ALL of the TOS episodes? They have
never done so in the past, but the current BBC2 controller seems to be
very keen on showing some SF, as opposed to BBC1 where SF is a dirty
word (acronym?).

Here's hoping.

Just a thought,

Not only does Work get beat up all the time, but did you ever notice that 
whenever there's a controversy over what to do, Picard waits for Worf's
suggestion and then does the opposite. 

Picard: These's a unidentified ship approaching, what do we do?
Troi:   They don't feel hostile, try and make contact
Riker:  I suggest raising shields and attempting to hail them
Work:   Blow them up now before I get beat up
Picard: Ok, we'll hail them

It's pretty funny how often this happens.

No, I think it will be September 19, 6 pm EST.

The schedule:

August 22 - I, Borg
August 29 - The Next Phase
September 5 - The Inner Light
September 12 - Time's Arrow I
September 19 - Time's Arrow II

Is this not correct?

Thanks
