also be a TNG movie that will be a regular movie.  Both will be out in the
fall of '98.  I've also heard rumors that they're going to make another TOS

I know far a fact that the TNG scale approches infinity, 10 being it.
So, if you'd be traveling at Warp 10, at any given time, you'd be
*everywhere*
in the Universe. And no matter how advanced the technology used is, you can't
exeed infinite speed. Because that would mean that suddenly Warp 10 isn't
infinite, since you've exeeded it.

DSN rated right now compared to other shows?  At the dead bottom?  TOS did a
lot better than that in the late 60's when sci-fi wasn't nearly as big as it
is now.  If Voy and DSN weren't "Star Trek" and just a regular show they both
