assistant: Hi Gerald,
Replying to what Gerald Hughey said to Jay P. Hailey (Tuesday July 29 1997):
We just started watching old B7 episodes at the science fiction club at uni
and nearly everyone's enjoying it immensely.  There's a lot of younger
members (late teens) including myself who've never really watched it properly
in the past and it's taking off in popularity.  Trek's good in itself, but I
guess it's nice to have a break from shows like Star Trek from time to time.
It's got a different twist to it.  :-)
One of the things I've noticed (which admittedly has probably been noticed
,before) is that underbudgeted SF on TV such as TOS, B7, Dr Who etc is often
thought out better.  I s'pose it's because they really had to rely on story
to survive and shows that didn't didn't last long.
Trek seems to've lost it a bit over the last few years (to me) although I
still make an effort to watch it to keep up to date.  I still enjoy up to
roughly the end of TNG (it seemed to trail off a bit towards the end) and DSN
has good stories here and there, I haven't seen much more than the first
season of Voyager yet.  Without trying to stir things up too much in here it
seems as if ST's getting lots of money but the writers are more interested in
starting with an effect and trying to invent a story for it than starting
with a story and using effects where necissary.  It doesn't seem to have that
sustaining edge underneath the visual effects so much anymore.  I guess money
corrupts.  :(
Catch ya later,
Mike.

   The U.S.S. Enterprise, NCC-1701-C, was first (and last) seen in the
3rd season TNG episode "Yesterday's Entperise," in which that very ship
emerged from a temporal rift, having travelled 22 years into the future
(to TNG's time) and altering the "known" timeline in the process.
   I happen to question the scientific validitiy of such a disruption,
preferring instead to think that the story merely shifted to the
"altered" timeline rather than the timeline actually being altered at
that point, but none the less it was an excellent ep.  Oh well...
