I will probably buy it, but only if and when it is printed in paperback. I
will never, no matter how good it is, buy a Trek novel for $20 in hardback!

  Picard says "Brinksmanship is a dangersous game."  He is referring to the
practice of testing an opponent to see how far they will go before
committing to act.  Perhaps the best example is the '62 Cuban Missile 
Crisis.  Which (IMHO) is the finest example of brinksmanship.

Subject: Scotty episode "Relics" storyline wanted
Organization: Monash University
X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL6]
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 1992 23:51:05 GMT


It is a fine Tuesday morning here in Victoria Australia.

The STTNG episode that stars Scotty "Relics" should have been shown
in the States already.  

Seeing how we here down under are only up to the end of the 2nd season
of STTNG (Look I know we are WAY WAY behind :-(  ) I cannot wait until   
"Relics" gets to tv (or video) here.  

What I would like is a detailed storyline of what the episode was about,
any comments you would like to put in and what your friends (trekERS) thought
about the episode.

If anybody is enthusiastic (or mad) enough to have a detailed storyline in the
form of a script, then I would most appreciate it.

I know there are postings about the episode already, but they talk about  
CERTAIN points about the episode and not what happened in the ENTIRE episode.

I hope I can be assisted in my delema as I grow anxious.

Regardless of the quality arguments, has anyone mentioned that
Leonard Nimoy's son, Adam, directed this episode. From what I
heard, it's suppose to be a humourous episode.

For those who dread the episode from the press release, think what
some of TOS episodes would sound like:

Bizzare mishap makes Kirk and Spock Chicago gangsters!


(Of course I'm referring to `A Piece of the Action' which is one of
the most well-liked of TOS.)

Don't judge Brad Fergusen on Flag Full of Stars--that got the same

Remember, though, that Picard only authorized him to act as an Acting Endign,    not a fully commissioned one (he never did wear Starfleet red until he was      actually at the Academy; besides, Starfleet Acadamy graduates are given the
rank of sub-Ensign, I believe, and you can you have a real rank when you haven't been to school for it?)


>5. O'Brien's demotion to sub-Ensign.

If you accept that he was Chief O'Brien--a Chief Petty Officer, as many here
have pointed out--his change of rank from Petty Officer (NCO) to Sub-Ensign
(CO) was actually a promotion. Ask anyone from the Navy about this.

Not to say the people producing the show have any real idea about military rank or anything, or even that they can keep their wardrobe department straight...

Well, tastes differ, but I thought that Blish, especially in the early
books was REALLY short.  About all it was was enough English to
connect the dialogue.  You'll notice that as he progressed, each book
(in the original publication, not the 3 book omnibus it is now) had
fewer episodes in them, as he started fleshing them out better.  And
the Mud episodes wound up being published as two episodes to one book,
with a third novella included.

Alan Dean Foster, now, put three animated episodes into each book.
And *those* were half hour episodes.

Spoilers for _Relics_, both novelisation and episode ahead:


The novelisation of "Relics," though, bugged me in one respect with
the caricature of Ensign Kane.  PULEEZE, yet another "I'm an arrogant
bastard until something nasty happens then I'm your Really Nice Guy"
character was unnecessary.

That spurious plot addition aside, I thought the adaption of the
episode was really nice.  It added a few scenes, for example, Scotty
has a discussion with Guinan before Data admits to only knowing that
the liquor "is green."  I'll bet that was in the original screenplay.

It also explained the part about the big E being able to move toward
the hatch when Geordi and Scotty were holding it open.  It's not clear
on the aired version, but Riker was able to restore impulse power and
they were then looking for a way out (though why they didn't think
of contacting the communications array from the inside bugs me; if
all it was was a guided entry, it should have worked both ways.  It
didn't look to me like it was supposed to be a trap.  Oh well).

He believed them to be very large AT FIRST, but obviously changed his mind,
and, indeed, it turned out that the large objects were the humans.  The

Well, that certainly clears it up.

In the TNG Technical Manual, it states that a person can be held in
transporter stasis for only 5 minutes without serious image degredation.
In "Realm of Fear", Geordi explains that in about 30 seconds, he might
start to feel dizzy.

Nobody of importance saw her 'flowing gray hair' until she went to the

hair used in a stylish fashion when she was dressed up..  That style is
popular today and seems it will be in 400 years :-)
