Not to drag out this thread but...isn't Kronos a Klingon MOON and not a planet?

First, Worf is still pretty agressive.

Second, it's not his attitude that we're discussing (at least, I don't think
it is).  It's his lack of fighting prowess.  Fine, so he shouldn't blow his
top.  And he doesn't.  He's learned to control his temper very well.

However, when the time to fight does arrive, why does Worf always get his
Klingon butt kicked????  I think that's what the original poster was asking.

This same thread came up about 6 months ago, and I think the reason given
was that the writers want to show how powerful an alien is, so they throw
Worf up against it to show that it's very strong.  The result is that
Worf ends up looking like a wimp.

Actually, the Soyuz class ship encountered the temporal distortion effect
and must have entered it.  This ship then collided with the big E, thereby
causing antimatter containment failure on the big E which then exploded.
This huge explosion then "interacted" with the temporal distortion; this
is what caused the temporal causality loop.

The Boseman therefore, time travelled to the big E's time from the year 2278,
then was caught up in the loop.  Therefore, the starship Boseman was stuck in 
the loop for the same exact amount of time as the Enterprise,
just over 17 days.

The Feds are supposed to have peaceful motives with nothing to hide, so
a cloaking device would be considered a bit surreptitious.

Even if they couldn't build one, painting the ship black would be a good 
start...

I will stop watching this show if Ensign Ro becomes a regular
character on this show. If Picard leaves (it would be a shame),
then they should have Riker as captain and Shelby as first officer.
The reverse is possible, but unlikely since in the Borg episode
Riker was clearly above her in rank.

I suspect that they are trying to encourage people in the here and now to
become more literate.  I find the use of classical material to be very
appropriate.  I also suspect they use Shakespeare a lot on TNG because
of Patrick Stewart's background.  

I don't think they expect people to _know_ the quotes, I think they want 
them to go _read_ the book(s) they came out of!

I, for one, applaud this effort.  Considering the fact that most of the folks
posting here are in college, many working on advanced degrees, it is appalling
how poor some of the spelling and punctuation is.  Perhaps people are just not
taking the time to write properly.

     Calling the Klingon homweorld Kronos in TrekVI was metaphorical.
     One of Saturn's aspects's is "The Bringer of Old Age."  Getting
     it yet?  The threat of Kronos being devastated through the loss
     of their ozone layer is the catalyst for Kirk's last mission -
     and his moving on into history, "old age."  
     Compare Cliff Eidleman's wonderful score and Movement V of
     Holst's "The Planets" - they are nearly identical.  Movement
     V of "The Planets" is titled: "Saturn, the Bringer [i.e., 
     catalyst] of Old Age."

     Maybe it's the translation.  Who really cares?  It's better
     than "Kling."  
     And, anyway, something I've never seen discussed on the 
     newsgroup: the President refers to the imminent EVACUATION
     of Kronos during his speech to the peace conference at the
     end of TrekVI.  So that doesn't mean the "homeworld" in TNG's
     era is the same: actually, it means that it probably ISN'T
     the same planet.

Alright, you get more.  But we get better :-)  It used to be that on 
saturday evenings an episode of TOS was followed by TNG (New or current-
season re-run) and on sunday evenings two episodes of TOS.  Now, however, 
we get 2 TNG on saturday and 2 on sunday.  Saturday's first episode and 
sunday's two episodes are telecasts of the series as originally aired, and 
the second episode saturday is the current season (new or re-run in 
original order).  "So, what's so great about this?", you may ask.  Simple.  
Sunday is hosted and it has tid-bits called "Trek-Insider."  So, if you 
want to hear all about who, what, where, when,....this is the place to get 
it.  There are also contests and drawings for prizes.

See, "more" isn't necessarily "better!" :-)

Give the man a gold star!!!!!!! 
I don't if this has anything to do with the joke but in one of the first
_Best of Trek_ books, somebody "proved" (not very well, IMO) that
Sherlock Holmes was a Vulcan b/c Spock and Sherlock begin with "S" and
end with "ock" and other such stupidity. (Somehow Sherlock's Vulcan
physiology escaped _Dr_ Watson's notice)

Just a bit of trivia here.  Nicholas Meyer, who directed ST VI, also wrote
the novel and screenplay for "The Seven Percent Solution", a Sherlock Holmes
movie in which Dr. Sigmund Freud attempts to cure Sherlock Holmes of his
cocaine addiction.  Therefore, Spock's quote could have been just a little
joke thrown in by Nicholas Meyer.
