I liked this episode as well.

I think a *really* good way to enter a tie-in in a non-cheesy manner
would be the reentrance of Trelane (now a fully adult Q, or whatever
he was supposed to be in the first place -- the Q would be the best
choice, however) into a Next Generation episode.

We could have him bickering with the Q we all know and love (they
could point out that one was older than the other and had existed in
the continuum as a separate distinct consciousness for a longer period
of time, thus gathering more powers and authority... this may have
been the premise for the rumored 'Duelling Qs' episode).

This inclusion would also back up Starfleet's records, which previously
had mention of Trelane from Kirk's five-year mission -- it would prove
the point that the Q continuum had been watching humanity for some 
lengthy period of time.  [Perhaps when Trelane matured into a fully
powered Q, he recalled the encounter with the humans so many years ago
and turned the continuum's attention to this rapidly evolving, highly
intelligent and resourceful species.  It would explain Q's first
appearance to the Enterprise as a judge, as that was the attitude the
Q had found to awe and intimidate the original crew.  Picard just 
happened to have a better handle on matters than Kirk and handled it
with some tact and diplomacy, rather than a one-on-one conflict as per
the old Star Trek plotlines.  Who knows?  Maybe Q was as surprised to
meet the Enterprise as the Enterprise was to meet them -- he may have
been relying on their old intelligence and expecting Captain James Kirk.
It would also explain why they chose the Enterprise for their first
contact -- I personally don't think this was an accidental happening by
any means.  They were going by Trelane's early experiences with the
only humans they had ever encountered.

And maybe we could find out Q's name... that is, the name of his 
budding individual consciousness before he grew into a full member of
the Q continuum.  That would make two people we've seen this way --
Trelane (in my opinion) and Olivia (from the episode "True Q"). 
Maybe... dare I say it?  Maybe... Q was Trelane... 

nah.  couldn't happen.  (I do see some resemblance however.  Maybe he
chose to alter his human form when he fully entered the Q continuum...
maybe that's why he likes humans so much... he was one of them before
his evolution... I dunno)

Comments/criticisms/flames welcome...

I'm sure this has been touched on before but it doesn't sound like FAQ
material so fire away...

The Emissary? There was such an episode during season 2? (I belive
so, but i'm not 100% sure)

And what's the title of the DS9 premier episode? Emissary?  do I 
see a BUG here... ? I belive it would be rather confusing having
2 episodes with same one (Ok, other is TNG, other DS9, but anyway)

Any opinions on this?

A friend of my has the following hypothesis...

Hypothesis:

    William T. Riker is Kirk's Son

Evidence:
    1. Picard's tactics are lame whereas Riker always tries to cheat.
    2. They emphasize his middle initial is T but never tell you what it
       is.
    3. The show is called the "next generation" (and you know Gene
       loves that sort of deep stuff)
    4. We know tonnes of stuff about the family of every character
       except Riker.
    5. His mannerisms are like Kirk's.

I must agree that there was never any nuclear war on Earth, since a) there
is canonical evidence to the contrary and b)such a war might well wipe
out homo sapiens!  We are left with how to explain the post-atomic 
horror.  I suspect it didn't occur on a colony because nukes were 
probably abolished by the time massive space colonization occurred, and
also because Data referred to the "New United Nations" on EaF.
I therefore thought the post-atomic horror was a localized occurrence
on Earth.  I picked Asia as the locale because a) North Korea
is quite possibly the next nuclear proliferator, and it doesn't
take a degree in international relations to see how that could
trigger a new Korean war, and b) The baliff in the scene at EaF
was Asian (admittedly the judge wasn't, but he was Q, who had
already chosen to appear to the Enterprise crew as a Caucasian).
Someone else also observed that this scenario might explain why
Asians are underrepresented in Trek (yes, I know the real reason
is that Hollywood is here in North American, but we must explain
these things :))... one-sixth of the world is Chinese peasants,
yet we see so few Asians in Trek.

Subject: FCC syndication regulations

Does anyone know the FCC's regulation on syndicated TV well
enough to answer my question?

My local ABC afiliate has the rights to Star Trek: The Next Generation.
They air the show once a week, with an occasional re-run whenever they
need something to fill in.  They do not air thew show in "strip" re-run
fassion (mon-fri) as some staitions do.

Due to FCC regs, my local cable company is forced to block out ST:TNG
when it airs on a portland station that we get.  They block out not
only the first run episode, but the strip re-runs as well.

Does Paramount sell the show as two seperate contracts?  One for first
run, and a second for strip re-run?  And if so, would this be a diferent
contract that would classify the re-run as a seperate show, immune to
the dreaded "black out?"

Any direct e-mail answers or a follow-up posting would be greatly
apreciated.  If my local station has the rights, I wish they would
make use of them, and if not, I wish my cable company knew the
difference!

Interstellar space has, correct me if i'm wrong, 1 atom/cm^3.  The
Enterprise has to push all of that stuff aside.  And I would imagine
that every once in awhile the Big-E has to go through an Oort cloud --
probably safe, but you never know IF there is a chunk of something in
your way.  (Miniscule danger, dire consequences.)

The Tech Manual spends a bit of time talking about the systems used to avoid

        Well, one of those things you can always videotape and 
        watch later as many times as you like.

        And the other will be in reruns eventually.

    Well now, Riker being Kirk's son was an interesting theory, if not for the
 fact that Riker's father has already appeared on the show (can't remember the
 episode, but it was during the second season) and it most definitely was not
 Kirk.
