"Scorpion" was the season finale of VOY.  Since it was a cliff-hanger the

assistant: Though there has been many ups and downs.  I still think that STTNG
will continue to produce movies till they reached the point to end it
forever like with TOS.  And as for DS9 and Voyager they will remain
around a while longer.  DS9 can last as long or longer as STTNG did.
And Voyager could last as long the action viewers stick to watching it,
since others that are not action like viewers probably don't watch it as
much.  But star trek's future will remain stable for now, but, i know
that one day it will come to an end.  Perhaps 10 years from now.

Well, if it's a novel, don't forget the standard rule of thumb on
their authority.  Remember also that some of the "canon" tools have
mistakes as well. I don't have them *all*, but none of the ones I
do have (IOW, the authoritative ones) make any mention of
disassembly of the Galaxy that I can recall.
And of course I'm not the mod, at least not here. <gd&r>
Uh, wanna bet? };)  They make make overall thumbs up/down on the
idea, but they don't check for detail authenticity, trust me.
If they did, the W10 reference in Vendetta (I think it was; don't
"do" the novels, so we'll have to rely on someone else to verify
if it's that one) would never have made it past.
Regardless of what some may think, Paramount does *not* screen the
novels with a fine-toothed comb for continuity.  That's how the
standard rule came to be that novels are *never* canon unless/until
what they say is backed up by actual on-screen or other true
authority sources. ;)

assistant: Hi all.
While leafing through the coupons in some Val-Pak mail, I ran across a
leaflet advertising the "30th Anniversary Captains Collector Plate" by
Hamilton Collections.  It's an authorized rendering of the four Trek
captains and their vessels.
In the description for this piece, I noticed that each of the captains'
names were followed by the TM symbol, indicating that each was
individually trademarked!
Is this possible?  If so, does that mean that we have to technically get
Paramount's permission to even *use* these names in our discussions here
in this echo?  I knew that Paramount was getting serious about protecting
its intellectual property, but to go so far as trademarking individual
character names?!
What are your thoughts on this.  This is the first time that I've seen the
character names trademarked.  I'm kind of bewildered.
