Interesting that these two guys are going to be at another convention. Are
they on tour together? Anyway they will also be at Trekcon '92 at the
Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza in Rockville, Maryland. This will take place 
August 14-16, 1992.

Star Trek imitating life?  Wow!

>Captain Riker, obviously,

While they probably would do this, IN REAL LIFE [tm], Riker may not be
made Captain.  After all, this is "the big E" and he's never been a 
full time Captain.  There must be other Star Fleet Captains that would
be standing in line to command the Enterprise.  Riker's turned down
"the center seat" each time they've "pulled the Captain's Chair" out
for him.  (Ok, except for when he was "Captain" when the Borg attacked.
But you notice that he was demoted as soon as the de-borged Jean-Luk.
"OK Will, fun's over.  Yer commission's revoked".)

But we all know that Star Drek doesn't imitate life *that* exactly, so
it probably would be Captain Riker.

In watching ST:TOS the only Vulcan that was really prevalent was Spock.
They only went to his home planet a couple of times, and there were no
other vulcans on the ship.  Thus, if Spock hadn't been on the ship, then
there would be little mention of Vulcans too.
Also, remember the episode where the entire crew is being questioned 
regarding a conspiracy, and what's her name accuses Picard.  Well, the
first guy that was accused was half Vulcan half Romulan.  I think there
are other examples too in other shows.  Therefore, disregarding Spock, I
think there is more mention of Vulcans in ST:TNG than in ST:TOS

The reason I have heard most for the question, "Why doesn't the
Federation have a cloaking device?" is that the Federation does
not need one.  The Fed is interested in diplomacy and peace.  Such
a device would promote the image that the Federation is interested
in "stealth" attacks and other covert activities.

I would like to see the Federation develop something which will
track a cloaked ship for once.  Space anomalies and distortions are
should be tracked by the computer, not Data or Jordy.

It's called "The Inner Light", and it's (IMO) one of the best TNG

This, I can't tell you. *Probably* not until later this summer,
since they seem to be rebroadcasting in somewhat the same order
that they were orginally broadcast.

Probably not better.  These three are widely regarded as the strongest
actors the show has.  Even supposing that they could be replaced
with equally talented counterparts, it would be very difficult
for the show to survive such a radical transition.

On the other hand, new blood could bring a freshness to the show
that's been lacking of late, and it would give the writers an
opportunity to give Riker and Data their own commands, and Worf
an honorable death (though somehow I doubt that the writers would
actually do this).

Talent?  All of the remaining players' performances seem to rise and
fall with the quality of the script at hand.  Probably Paramount
could attract some reasonable talent for replacements, but I think
the result might be an even more uneven show than what we saw last
season.

>Would you bring in new characters,
>or tighten the focus on the remaining ones?

IMHO, it would be a mistake to simply focus on those remaining.
As I said earlier, Stewart, Dorn, and Spiner are the three strongest
actors TNG has.  It's not at all clear that the others have what
it takes to carry the show.

Hey, have you never heard of the guest star phenomena?  Even if the actors
leave the show, I bet most of them would gladly return once, twice, etc. a

Hi all,

Could someone give me the name of the episode (near the end of the

in the trance, he "experiences" life with a people that died ~1000
years earlier?

Even better, could someone tell me when this will be re-broadcast.

I've thought more and more about this episode.  It really had an

Hm, Robin Leffler was played by Ashley Judd, who rplays a recurring role
on NBC's "Sisters".  Ishara Yar, I can't remember her real name, but was
in a Wendy's commercial as a lady biker.

Of course, Matt McCoy (Devonani Ral, Troi's boyfriend for an episode) was
in "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle".

OK, a topic for a new thread...

What would the series be like if these characters were to depart?
Who would be brought on board as new officers?  How would plots,
relationships, the command structure of the Enterprise be affected
by a re-shuffled cast?

Think about it.  Picard, Data, and Worf gone.  O'Brien and family 
already departing.  Who does that leave?  Captain Riker, obviously,
but what other regulars are left?  LaForge.  Beverly Crusher.  Troi.
Maybe Ro Laren.  Maybe even Wesley.  Is it just me, or does this cast
need something new added?  What should that something be?

Of course, it might not be all bad to focus on these remaining
characters -- after all, they're the more un-explored ones on the
Big E.  So how would you handle it?  Would you bring in new characters,
or tighten the focus on the remaining ones?  How would you handle
the change-overs?

Yeah, I know it's a year away, but it's worth speculating about...
