I saw a rerun a couple weeks ago of the "time loop" episode.  As with a
core of great shows this season - though as always the average quality of
ST:TNG is campy - this episode ranks as the best ST to date.

My question: Worf says he is "experiencing XXXXXX" at one point.  I think
he was basically saying he was experiencing what we refer to as "deja vu".
Does anyone out there remember the Klingon word for "deja vu".

Thanks, mm

    Well, I don't doubt that the uniform is different.  Those newer TNG
    uniforms seem to be designed for the slim officers of the 24th century.
    I don't think that old Jimmy Doohan would look so good in one of those
    uniforms, being the man of "substance" that he is.

    Even worse, think of Scotty in one of the older TNG jumpsuits...

**SPOILER** (maybe?)









I really mean it!!!!























James Doohan discusses a bit of the plot for the episode "Relics" and he 
talks about working with the Enterprise-D's engineer to save the Enterprise.

Maybe the engineer is Geordi, although his other comments about ST:TNG being
the best science fiction to be seen over the next 15 to 20 years might 
indicate that Scotty could be a permanent cast member at some point and 
definatelya character who is a relatively regular guest, like Roxanna Troi.

Just a few thoughts.

Yeah, and that's only the beginning of it!  How 'bout that transporter
thing they use?  Reassembling a person's molecules after being converted
into energy?  Ridiculous!  And...and...this faster than light thing!
Yeah, that bugs me too.  How about some _realism_ in the show for god's
sake!  Everyone knows that it's not physically possible to travel faster
than light.  Where were the scientific advisors when they designed this
kooky show?

Spoilers follow, so I believe the correct procedure is:






































Since it appears that Scotty will be appearing in Star Trek: The Next
Generation, a list of the things common to the TNG crew but surprising 
to Scotty seems appropriate.  Please feel free to add to this short list

1.  NCC-1701D's phasers are far more powerful than those on NCC-1701, 
but are worthless when the ship is travelling at warp speed.

2.  Intraship beaming, considered very risky in TOS "The Day of the 
Dove", is common aboard NCC-1701D.

3.  Crewpersons wearing red uniforms are no longer in greater danger 
than other crewpersons.  In fact, Scotty will have to get used to a
gold uniform.

Our local commercial station, GTV9 has the TV rights to TNG from the

them eg: originally aired here 8.30pm on Wednesday nights, episodes
from the 2nd & 3rd series shown out of sequence: reason given "Selected
episodes were chosen for viewer impact by our progammers", TNG now airs
at 11.30 pm Thursday nights with the reason given that programming laws
require them (GTV9) to show more Australian produced content at the 8.30
timeslot....what a crock of sh*t !!! I wish GTV9 would dump the goddamned
rights so we could get the seires back on video ! At least we used to get

I'm not sure memory serves.  There was a *great* deal of discussion about that
before "Qpid" came on board, to be sure, but I don't recall much if anything
about Hetrick being mentioned before CH.  On the other hand, I wasn't as
active then as I was for the following two seasons, so I could be wrong.  :-)

Someone (I believe it may have been Arthur C. Clarke) once

spaceships in 2001, which sound like symphony orchestras?

There is something called "dramatic license."

I don't think it's fair to make a blanket statement about acting
on either show. True, TOS had no one in the same league as
Patrick Stewart. On the other hand, with people like Nimoy and Kelly
on the old show, I can't accept a blanket statement that the acting
was unnoteworthy on the old show. Nor can I accept a blanket statement
that the acting is "excellent" on the new show. There are *several*
excellent performers there, but on the other hand, people like Frakes,
Sirtis, McFadden, Meaney and Burton are just average as far as I can
see; and the semiregular band includes some *really bad* performers
(like Chao, Barrett and a certain Klingon child.) 


I'd say the quality of the acting varies more sharply
on TNG, which of course, means the highs are higher than on TOS,
which translates to a better bargain. If only the plots
and characterizations would follow suit... but that's another
thread.

Uh-oh.  Maybe this should be 2228?  Or is that wrong too?  Let's see, that
would make Kirk 50 years old to the time of Capt. Bateson in "Cause &
Effect", which is supposed to be around the time of TWOK, right? 
(Bateson said 2278, right?).  Hey, wasn't Shatner born in 1932, and that
would make him 50 when he filmed TWOK!!  Hey, I think that works!
Of course assuming Shatner's age = Kirk's age.  This stuff could drive you
batty.

The fellow who played Radar (his name escapes me at the moment) on MASH had a
more drastic problem with an entire hadn. It was "malformed", or to be PC, I guess
I should save functionally challenged. They "hid" it by always having him hold something, a bugle, clipboard, mailbag, whatever. They could/(maybe did) the same
with Scotty. It's so unobvious, you wouldn't realize they were doing it unless you

Yeah, but since Denise Crosby's career hasn't exactly taken off, the
Tasha Yar from the 'warrior' 1701-D goes with the "normal time" crew
back to what we see as the 'real' 1701-D so she can fight it out with
Sela in some old Patty-Duke-Show style action.

Or am I getting my episodes mixed up?

BTW--was Picard on the away team at the end of _Time's Arrow_?  I can't 
remember.

I've got to make one comment...
I love this forum, but it is SO popular that it fills
up so damn quickly !

I mean, I had caught up on reading all the articles, and then was
gone for just 2 days, and when I came back, there were *87* new
articles to read !!! I mean, shit, how is a person supposed to keep
up with all these new articles !!! And that is just in *THIS* group.
I also like to try to keep up with other groups.

I'm sure the management here where I work must love all the time I
spend on this thing, just trying to keep up on the mail !!!

Does anyone else feel this way ??
