Write your reply.

assistant: Oh okey. That means it was not neccessarily the same W scale. That's a
completely different thing - yes.
I personally don't remember him being refered to as a Leutainent (did I spell
that right? :), but it's been a while since I saw season 1 of TNG.
RETCON? I can't find the print-out of all the acronyms :)
:) I wish they'd take more care to avoid these YATIs, both regarding these
"general" things aswell as the incocsistencies in, and "abuse" of ST
physics/technology.
They usually have a pretty good explanation of how something works (Warp
drives, transporters etc) but they don't take the limitations of these
explanations in acount when shooting the episodes... I can't think of a good
concrete example right now, but they're there all right...

Write your reply.

assistant: Apperantly TCS = The Classical Series, which is an alternate name for TOS (I
didn't know about that one either until I was told about it recently). TAS =
The Animated Series. A cartoon version of TOS... Haven't see it myself. And I
don't plan too. I love ST, but a cartoon???? That's pushing it...

It's very common knowledge that Gene personally picked Berman as

had virtually nothing to do with running the show at all, even in

was basically Data telling Worf that "...you must tell him
that he is a good cat, and a pretty cat."
Worf's reply: "I will *feed* him." (Reports that he mumbled
"...to Alexander" afterwards are exaggerations. <g>)
It was really the look on Worf's face when Data handed him
Spot that got me, more than the words. He had the poor
critter at arm's length, in a rigid-armed, two-fisted grip,
and had this expression of extreme disgust/distaste.
You'd think he was handling a tribble instead of a cat....
(Lest anyone take offense - I'm a cat person; have two of my
own, in fact...I just thought it was an amusing scene....)
