Yes, T. Lynch was right.  Picard said/muttered/screamed "You are...  six
years old...  Weak... and helpless...  You cannot....  HURT me!  Sur la
pont...  D'avignon...  On y danse..." and then we cut to the Enterprise.
Tim just couldn't decipher the french, that was all.  The song bit was
kinda psychological on Picard's part -- he was singing as if the torture
didn't hurt him, as if nothing was wrong.  It got Gul Madred pretty damn
pissed off too!  :-)

She already *has* captained the Big E!! That episode "Remember Me" or
something. Of course, by that time she was the only one left in the
pocket universe created by the warp bubble experiment.

Otherwise, I don't know what her training was at the Academy. Being a
doctor is a bit different from being a starship captain, IMHO.
Of course, if she had opted for command at the Academy then she would
do pretty good I think.

What about Ro Laren? I mean, she does have a checkered past but I think
she could be an effective captain with a little more seasoning.

The only other Galaxy that we have seen is the Yamato. We saw an 
illusionary version in "Where Silence has Lease" and  the real one blew 
up in the episode with the computer virus. Both were in the 1st season.

I don't think that's correct as the Yamato blew up in the episode (sorry forgot the name) where the Yamato discovered an ancient civilization's home planet, upon which a probe from that planet interacted with the Yamato.  Soon after she was destroyed. The Ent-D resumed her mission to determine if it was a design flaw in Galaxy-class ships or the Romulans destroyed her. The planet turned out to be in the Romulan-side of the neutral zone & Picard led the away team. this is where we find out that the civiliza





tion created technology enabling them to travel anywhere simply by walking through a door-like portal.  You will see Toronto's city hall shown in the portal (as if they were considering invading Toronto?!?).

That's what we see in the series, of course, for one very good reason:
amkeup is expensive.  But I don't think it's realistic.  If the Federation
has hundreds of member species, as it apparently does, then humans (or
any other species) should be a small minority within Star Fleet.

Did anybody happen to catch a 10 minute preview of Deep Space Nine?
It showed here in New York this past Sunday evening but was 
completely unannounced. It had interviews with the cast members,
including the captain of the space station who isn't too fond
of Capt. Picard for a rather good reason. 

I'm curious if this was on anywhere else in the country and even
more curious if anybody has a tape of it they'd be willing

Well, I tend to think that a Lieutenant Commander is much like a 
Lieutenant Governor; a Lt. Governor is not a type of Lieutenant, but 
rather a backup governor.  Therefore, a Lieutenant Commander is not a 
type of Lieutenant, but rather a sub-commander.
Nobody is saying that Lt. J.G. is the SAME as a Lt., it IS in fact 
another rank, however the Junior Grade is a designation which shows that 
this person is not just another crewperson, but on his way up the rank 
ladder.  
BTW, haven't you noticed that, since all the way back to the first 
episode, Lt. Cmdrs have ofter been called commander for short??  Riker 
asked the ensign in the corridor where _Commander_ Data was.  She, in 
turn, went to the computer asking for _Commander_ Data, and the computer 
came back with, "_Lieutenant Commander_ Data now located in Holodeck are 
four-j.
Wouldn't this also indicate a Lt. Cmdr. is a form of Cmdr???

As a child in English Montreal, I was definitely taught  
    Sur le pont d'Avignon   
    L'on y danse, l'on y danse   
with the Ls. They may have dropped the Ls as gramatically incorrect

Hi! I'm the original poster, and I'd like to say that yes, I was
talking about a regular series with a female captain. We need to
have more strong female leads if we're ever going to get past
the old-boy perceptions that women can't take the lead. Perhaps
it's because I'm Canadian, not USA-an, but I believe that people
are ready to see females in such a role. TNG should lead the way
in this respect!

Well, aside from the fact that you are MUCH harsher than I am in your opinion

Yeah, but so what?  Science fiction is just a backdrop, not (except in a few
stories, very few of which are any good at all) the raison d'etre for the
show.  If a show must take its backdrop and make it an integral part of the
story in order to be successful, then I give "Romeo And Juliet" and
_Moby_Dick_, both grades of F.

As the subject implies, I am writing a new humor book. I am fastly
coming up with ideas on uses for Captain Jellico after Picard sends
him to that great Starship in the Beyond! ;) Some of the uses include;

* Use him as a bristle brush to clean out warp nacelles.

* Phaser practice dummy or any all-purpose training dummy.

* Put an Amerind suit on him and give him a handful of Cigars, then mount
him in the Ready Room.

* Tan his hide and he'll make a great seat cover.

If anyone has a funny use for a Dead Captain Jellico, even some of you all
at Paramount ;) ;) ;) send them to me via E-mail and I shall give full credit
for all ideas suggested! :)

This would be an echo of "The Doomsday Machine" from TOS, where Commodore

Bzzzzt!  Wrong again.  TNG is not on CBS nor is DS9 on FOX in G.R. MI,
Though it is true that TNG is on a CBS AFFILATED STATION in Grand
Rapids, so what.  And DS9 is on a Fox AFFILIATED station in Grand
Rapids, but everyone else knows that ST is not on ANY network, period.
The word, for the last SIX PLUS years is S Y N D I C A T I O N.
ST is owned by Paramount, a major production studio.  Thank god for Paramount!
