Write your reply.

assistant: Incorrect.  Klingons only have one spinal column.  It was the replacement of
Worf's spinal column with a replicated replacement produced by an
experimental medical replicator which allowed him to walk again.  Most
Klingon organs are duplicated, but the Spinal column is not one of them.  The
episode in question is Ethics, should you wish to check for yourself.

there.  As the Defiant crosses the bottom of the screen below the Galaxy
Class at the screen's centre, check out the upper left corner, and you'll see

Write your reply.

assistant: That was indeed a part of their conflict.  Roddenberry had said he wanted to
do this on TNG (and never did, BTW), so Gerrold wrote an episode called "Fire
and Ice".  It was something of an AIDS allegory in its main plot.  And it did
feature a same-sex couple.  Roddenberry initially accepted the script and
then later rejected it.
The main conlict, though, was Gerrold's contention that he get some credit as
a co-creator of TNG for the extensive work he had done in the initial stages
of the inception of the show.

  You're right,Kirk was and is the best captain ever served in Starfleet.
  In a Finnish (yes I'm a finlander) Pelit (Games) magazine there
  was a contest,in where they asked about how should've they killed
  him in Generations,and what would've he said instead of "it was...fun".
  The guy who won that contest said: "Kirk should've had died onboard
  the Enterprise in a battle where the future of Federation would've
  been at stake.." And I agree with him..
  There were some humour answers too:"Soran surpises Kirk on holiday,
  by adding some dishwashingpowder (or what ever you call it :))
  on his juice,and Kirk says "it was...Sunlight" :)

 old Trek GM for the ideas that I rewrote for Trek stories.  I did all
 the writing and characterization, etc, but his was the basic idea that
 underpinned the whole excercise.
        All I have to offer is credit where credit is due, and lavish

  to the 1 or 3 light years per day speed of the starships.  That means
  a useful distance at about 100 lightyears and a potential globe about
  600 light years across.
        That can easily encompass 150+ g type yellow stars.  If you
