I really, really dug this episode.  This is part of what trek is all
about IMHO.
To my 13 year and my 11 year old NY of the 1950's looked like just
another alien planet on Star Trek.  They had to ask if that really the
way people acted.  They simply didn't grok the idea of racism.
My partner and I spent the evening giving each other high fives...
I liked the Galaxy magazine.  My introduction to the pulps was when a
family friend started passing down her old copies of Galaxy to me when
she was done with them.  Wasn't the cover painting Starbase 11 from
Court Martial?

Write your reply.

assistant: Well, there are some out in the retail stores, and you can order them from
Sci-fi mail order houses, but they would be the same tapes.
As far as I know Columbia House is the only authorised place
I was also getting some other videos from them, but the quality of those
tapes seemd like they were leftovers or retreads. JKust not very good.
The Trek tapes I am very happy with, AND all the episodes are issued in air
date sequence, and not production sequence. :)

Write your reply.

assistant: Well, next time, don't quote everything that was in my message, only the
important thing... and to get to your point.
On Starships, beaming down on away missions does not take credits, but
like Paris did in that science experimentation episode, he did a site
to site transport and replicated flowers for B'Ellana.  That would take
credits.  On Earth, Cadets in the Academy use Trans credits when they
would beam home if they chose to, but they are given so many, so when
they didn't want to use them, they had to stay is CA. :)  And also with
food replicators....  you can eat eat and eat on a normal ship and on
Earth, but when it comes to replicating complicated things like
rings, necklaces.... it would take more than food, so it would cost
a certain amount of credits... on Voyager, they are low on energy, so if
they wanna use their replication (all of them; food, misc) credits they
might end up eating Neelix's food at the end of the week.  Understand?

 She was never depicted as married.  Quite the contrary.  In the
 first episode, Janeway asked Mark to take her dog out of the
 kennel and keep the animal at his place because it was expecting
 puppies.
 In "Threshold", Janeway remarks to Paris that she always
 supposed that she would have children some day... but not with
 him.
 The only real change is that in "Hunters", she referred to Mark
 as her fiance.  Although nothing contradicted this in the past,
 she had never indicated that they were other than long-term
 lovers.
