No, actually, I think this guy has a point.  I love ST as much as anyone
else here.  I've seen most of the episodes (both series) and all of the
movies.  I love to sit down and analyze them just as much as you do,
but you're never going to find a good explanation for why a phaser sends
a guy flying back.

Why?  For the same reason you'll never find an explanation for why a bullet
or a shotgun slug sends a guy flying back (or even a girl flying
back! 8-).  Because it looks a lot better if the guy flies back,
so he does.  The farther, the better, which is why we get someone pushed
back 15' after getting hit with a .22 bullet.  Go figure!

I think that's the *only* law in movies:  The person hit has to fly back
at least 8 feet when shot with any kind of projectile weapon (except
spitballs - they have a shorter limit - 5 feet, I think).

How about:

DA BORG (in da bears style)
NUMBER1
ENGAGE (sorry, not very original)
DIWESDI
LVNGSTN (Picard's fish)
HOLODCK (easily confused with 'hollow dick'?)
PRAXUS
HATAWAY
TLK R PLY (one of Worf's best lines)
SYNTHOL
QUERY (easily confused by rednecks with 'queer')
INQUIRY
IMZADI
Q CNTNUM

Or, name them after your favorite episodes:
BOBW (known only to fellow trekkies)
1100101
CNTAGIN
TIMZARO
DATALORE
THHIGRND
DAUPHIN
ANGEL 1
Sorry, I can't remember any more of the top of my head.

I fear that the only way you can draw non-fans in on this is using some
derivitive of 'Enterprise.' Lets face it, not very people out on the freeway
will get 'DA BORG', much less something like 'Q CNTNUM'. 

Good luck.

As co-producer of the ST:TNG Program Guide, you expect me to forget about
the strike?  Not a chance.

We are talking about the start of the season if no strikes appear.  This start
can be determined very easily.  It can actually be determined for years to come,
barring things like strikes and cancellation.  ST:TNG is based upon a 52 week
broadcast year, with 26 new episodes.  The start is the same every year.

The closest an episode gets repeated during a ST:TNG season is 9 weeks later.
Not exactly 6 weeks.

During first run, stations are not allowed to air anything other than what
Paramount uplinks.  Stations cannot get their hands on first-run ST:TNG
epsiodes in any other manner, except reception via satellite.  Tapes are only
sent to a station that has technical problems with satellite reception.

I don't know where you get the idea that some stations are airing ST:TNG
differently than the rest of the states, but it is the first I have heard
of it.  If some station tried to pull such a stunt, we would soon know about
it when a poster would ask what the Hell happened.  All I can say is prove it.
Paramount is very strict when it comes to their property.

Here's an item of interest for people wondering where the names come  from
for Star Trek characters.

We all (or many of us, at least) have heard about Jordi LaForge, the 
disabled Star Trek fan for whom Geordi LaForge is named.  And many of us
also have heard that Jean-Luc Picard is named, in part, after Jean Picard,
a French aviationist.  And of course Wesley was named after Wesley Eugene
Roddenberry.

Well, here's something else to add to the trivia:

pulaski: a single-bit aze with an adze-shaped hoe extending from the back

(Courtesy of Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary)

I don't know if it's signficant, but it struck me as interesting to find
out that "pulaski" is actually a word and not just a name.

Add that to other useless name trivia about the origins of names like
"Hikaru" (means the Shining One, see Vonda Mackintyre's _Entropy Effect_
for more info.), "Mr Atoz" ("A to Z," appropriate for a librarian) and
N'gilam ("Malign" backwards).

O.K. you make a good point.  But in theory, the show is wrong.  Someone said
in an earliet post that the holodeck sometimes transports real objects
into the room.  This, however, would be ridiculous.  Why don't they simply
transport everything into the room?  And, if you remember that episode in
which Picard plays P.I. (what's his name) and the gangsters step out if the
holodeck, they disappeared.  Yes, if they are people, then they would have
to be images.  But why make some objects real and others images?  The
show has the entire theory of the holodeck wrong if they make Welsey run
out still wet.  I don't know, but I think I have a better understanding
of the theorized holodeck than the show's creators do.

Exactly. To go warp 8 or so requires a lot of power, and would a private
person or freighter concern bother with that kind of money and bulk
etc (and whatever else is needed) for the increase in speed? 

Harry Mudd was in a small ship, very small, and he was being chased by
Kirk not for breaking any speed limits (in this case Picard would have
been issuing lots of tickets to the Borg for their 9.995++ efforts ;-) )
but because it wasn't giving out a valid ID beam (ie: was hiding and
wasn't announcing 'who' it was), and refused the hails of a starship.

Kinda like sitting in a shipping lane and when a coast guard or navy
ship comes alongside they find no markings and when they attempt to
call via radio to see who you are you ignore them (not that I'd
ignore a heavy cruiser bearing down on my bathtub ;-) )...

What you say is true, according to Einstein.  And has been proven true
even on Earth, placing two different clocks on two different airplanes
going different speeds, etc.  (read it if your interested).  However,
the Star Trek show does not take this into account.  If they did, then
time would be so distorted for everybody.  Traveling at near light speed
for even an hour slows down the relative clock by 60 years.  And the 
Enterprise, A-D does a tremendous amount of traveling at warp 6, 7, etc.
Thus, at speeds well over light, even a minute would last several years
on Earth.  Thus, Star Trek can not possibly take into account the
realtivity of time.  And therefore, your theory, though correct
technically (although only with our knowledge) is incorrect as the show
is concerned.

That's how this thread got started (i.e., someone commented that DM
