You know, Andy, you are probably right.  I just posted a reply to Sem
[from Northern Germany!] where we exchanged friendly opinions on why
Riker has turned down captaincies, and why he should or should not,
but I did not address the fact that he __simply wants the Enterprise__!!

Mind you, would it be a gamble to assume that if he took another post
as Captain for a few years, and Picard croaked, that Starfleet would
want offer him the job first?  I mean, don't you think they'd rather
pick Riker, former First Officer of the Enterprise, Captain of the
________, than some new shmuck First Officer on the big E?  I'd
bet that they'd still ask Riker if he wanted the post.

The second statement is not accurate.  In "Best of Both Worlds II",
Captain Riker apologized to both Data and to Worf, and named Shelby as
his first officer.  He said that Data and Worf were better if they
stayed where they were.

There is no other episode in which Riker needed to choose somebody as
first officer for the Enterprise.  In "Future Imperfect", Riker, who
is captain of the Enterprise, finds that Data is his first officer.
However, most of that episode was an illusion, so it almost no bearing
on the discussion here, I should think.

I certainly agree that the STII soundtrack is possibly my favourite
soundtrack of all time (only BATMAN comes close, but that's a different
story), my comment was merely meant to say that it would have been better
if Horner had written some new music for ALIENS, bearing in mind that the
same audience would have been going to see STII and ALIENS, and might
just spot the resemblance. What is the story, did Horner run out of time
somewhere ?

Subject: TNG has only 3 plots, and it keeps reusing them!
Date: 27 Sep 92 18:14:43 GMT
Organization: Starfleet Headquarters: San Francisco

After having watched TNG for all of five seasons now, I've come to the
conclusion that the writers have only three plots for the show, and
they continually just rehash these plots by switching characters
around or changing the names of the alien races involved.

(1) Troi falls in love.  She becomes romantically involved with a
member of an alien race, but then either the alien is revealed to not
be what he says he is, or else something changes in the alien's life
so that he can no longer continue the romance.  After some sort of
catharsis occurs, Troi makes peace with the alien and decides to
remain on the Enterprise.

(2) Data wants to be human.  He is put into a situation where his
android qualities really stand out against the people around him, and
expresses a wish that he could have emotions.  However, some quality
of his android nature proves to be critical to resolving the plot of
the episode.

(3) A mysterious alien force captures or takes over the Enterprise or
one of its senior officers, putting everyone's lives in jeopardy.  The
crew makes one or two unsuccessful attempts to get out of the
situation, but then finally someone has a hunch that turns out to be
the key to solving the problem, and everything returns to normal.

It seems to me that the best TNG episodes were those that didn't
follow any of these three formulas.

Am I right, or what?  ;)

I agree that Patrick Stewart and Michael Dorn should be on the "best
con guests" list and William Shatner should be on the "worst con
guests" list (nothing but a string of anecdotes about all the people
he knew in Hollywood---BORING!).  However, I thought Jonathan Frakes
was a very good speaker.  Matter of fact, I hadn't liked the Riker
character much before I saw Frakes at a con in Denver, and I started
to like the character after seeing him.

I would put both DeForest Kelley and George Takei on a "mediocre"
list.  Quite uninspired and nowhere as much fun as Stewart (talked for
45 minutes without a mike, quoting Shakespeare and dancing around the
stage) and Dorn (just plain fun, and cute too :-).

I am truly sorry that other plans forced me to miss Spiner at Denver's
con this past weekend.  Sure hope he comes back some time!

I attended StarCon Denver this weekend, and I thought folks might be
interested in knowing that LeVar Burton is getting married.  Brent 
Spiner had to fly to Denver to do the con on Saturday morning, fly
back to LA to do LeVar's bachelor party Saturday afternoon, fly back
to Denver on Sunday morning to do the con again, then fly back to LA
to go back to work!  What a schedule!  Brent is apparently going to
be the "best man."  :-)  No, he didn't give any further details,
sorry!

By the way, I've been con-going for 17 years now, and Brent Spiner 
definitely ranks in the top 3 guests I've seen.  He was super, 
incredibly quick-witted and humorous, but without the condescension
you get from Jonathan Frakes or some of the other guests, both
original series and TNG.  My personal favorites among the con-guests
I've seen are:

Patrick Stewart
Leonard Nimoy
Brent Spiner
Michael Dorn
Dean Stockwell  (Al, from Quantum Leap)
Jonathan Harris (Dr. Smith, from Lost in Space)
Marina Sirtis

Probably the worst guests were:

William Shatner
Jonathan Frakes
Gates McFadden  (only because she was extremely ill-at ease & seemingly
	         unable to comprehend the "con" experience.)

I'd be curious to know who other folk's favorites are.

I found it interesting that you put Marina Sirtis at the bottom of your
favorites list.

I would rank them this way:

Marina Sirtis
Marina Sirtis (hey, I saw her twice)
Denise Crosby
Gates McFadden
Leonard Nimoy

My all-time never will I go see them again list is fairly short:

Walter Koenig (he more or less complained for 30 minutes that Trek had
ruined his career, life, etc.)

I only put Nimoy on the bottom of my favorites list since he seemed
almost reluctant to talk about the show.  It was kind of strange.

I found Marina to be a very good speaker.  I saw her twice with only a
couple of months betweens cons.  The second time was not a rehash of the
first.  There was some cross-over material but for the most part she
seemed to tailor her talk to the crowd.

Personally, I want to see James Doohan.  I've heard the he is probably
the best convention guest of the bunch (both TNG and TOS).  I read once
that he attends something like 30-40 conventions per year.  If true,
then he must have it down pat.

Apparently, Michael Dorn and Brent Spiner are the 'eligible bachelors' and skirt
chasers in the cast (so to speak).  So if Michael gets to spend a week with 50 
beautiful women who are trying to be as physically and personably attractive as 
they can, then Brent is probably going to be jealous.  

(or was that a facetious question?)
