This really should be on r.a.s.m., but what the hell. . .

If you like Sinatra-style music, you'll probably enjoy "Ol'
Yelloweyes in Back."  Brent has a very nice voice and it suits the
material--I'm not all that fond of "easy listening" music, but I
wouldn't mind hearing a duet with him and Harry Connick, Jr.

As for his choice of material, that's what he grew up with, and
THAT'S why he wanted to cut the CD.  I don't think we have to worry
about Brent developing a sudden desire to develop nodes on his
vocal cords and sing like Axl Rose.  Michael Bolton, maybe, but not
Axl Rose (many :-)s for the humor-impaired, here).

The cut with the Sunspots, "(It's a Sin) To Tell a Lie," IMHO, is
hilarious, simply because it isn't something you'd expect.  I know
Mike Dorn can sing (play bass, do a few other fun things), but Jon,
Patrick and LeVar, too?  Definitely a giggler.

     I tend to agree with those who are shaking their heads about the quality
of the most recent STNG episodes.  The biggie for me this week -- "Man of
the People" was not even over the content of the episode, but on production.
Did anyone catch that Picard referred to transporter room THREE TWICE at
the crucial time of beaming out the ambassador's aide?  He told room TWO to
be ready.  Transporter room two was referred to throughout the episode.  This
isa relatively trivial point, but a stupid production error none the less.

     Also, I'm not sure that I buy why the entire neuro process affected
aging (if one was ever told why).  And how were the effects of aging
reverseable?  Beats the heck out of any cold cream.
     How much would one want to bet that Capt. Scott put himself in some form r
(Prediction: Scott put himself in a form of stasis in the transporter
after saving everyone else on his ship.)  Also, my TV weekly referred to the
discovery of CAPT. Scott.  Good for him.  A friend of mine predicts that he
dies, which is an interesting point, because time travel didn't bring him
to the 24th century, and he's stuck.  If he lives, and Doohan needs the money,
he could recur or show up on Deep Space Nine.

Now all we need is Kirk to show up and show Picard how a starship is
REALLY run.

The reason that I heard that Tasha was killed off came straight from an
interview from her.  She said that she wanted a more interactive role.
She didn't want to be known as simply the person who said, "Hailing
frequencies open."  She felt that she could have bigger roles in other
shows if she left Star Trek.  However, I have yet to see her in any
other show other than as (what's her face) in the Romulan episodes.

Relics...  no spoilers, really...

Is it just me, or would this have made a _great_ two-part episode??
It seems like there were several scenes cut out, which made the ending
seem lame...   I think with two full episodes to work with a lot of the
inconsistencies would not have appeared and they could've done a bit
more exploring (both with characters and in their environment).

Has anyone ever seen other TNG characters in other projects?

Beverly Crusher AND Q in the movie "Taking Care of Business"
Data (and Lore) in the TV Series "Night Court" several times.
Captain Picard in "Dune" and some movie as a french restaurant manager.
Tasha in the movie "Pet Semetary" and others.

Kern (Worf's brother) in an episode of the TV show "Mac Gyver"

Alexander in the TV show "Family Ties"

The second officer of the Klingon ship Riker served as 1st officer:
  - The movie "Alien Nation" as Cecil Porter's son.  He was the one who was
    in the bar. "Didn't they teach you anything about us in Cop school..."
  - The movie "Cobra" as the phsycho badguy with the knife.
  - A couple other movies requiring a big brute with an ugly face.
  
I only am including people who appeared in TNG episodes more than once
except the last one.  I included him because he was a little difficult to
place and been around in some popular movies.

Where has Worf appeared?

1. Try using the <RETURN> key...

Imzadi is one of the alternate selections in my Sci Fi book club this
month and never having read any ST books I was thinking of giving it
a try.  Is it any good, or am I going to be wasting my money?  The
synopsis sounded pretty good but so what.  Any comments on Imzadi
out there.  I know there must be, r.a.s.c never seems to lack in
the opinion area :-)  What books are good if Imzadi is not?
