Write your reply.

assistant: Nope, Kirk did meet him, and reported it in his logs, which is why Janeway
knew of it, Kirk met him because in the Original Series the episode
REQUIEM FOR METHUSELA the character 'Flint' was a long lived human and he had
in fact been Brahms, Da Vinci, Solomon, Alexander, Merlin, and many more....
Flint recounts how he came to be imoprtal near the end of the episode when
Kirk, Spock and McCoy discover the Rayna android prototypes.
That would be rare, as Berman said they never tie into the the novels,
usually it's the other way around.
 I'm not sure why they don't consider some of the novels, because it would
help with some of the continuity problems..
Such as WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPENED TO THE KLINGONS AND ROMULANS!!! To make
them have 'pronounced' forheads?
That is possible, more likely though they did it as a means to tie Voyager to
the Star Trek universe...

assistant: I got hooked when the first set of Batman came on.. very well done. In fact
rent the movie they did "Phantasm"..  Late at night at a local station we all
peridoically get together and periodically watch movies.. one night they put
on the last Batman movie (tape) and we watched it for about 15 minutes..
Since I knew there was also had the animated movie on CD, we put it on. The
animated movie was 100% better.. and actually had a resonable plot and
writing!  :)
There's a dynamic to the animated Batman that I like, it's "dark" and has
a nice mix of the 30's, 40's and 90's. Superman is not as good, although it's
still exceptional for what gets out there these days. This past year they've
farmed out a lot of the animation to Japan.. and then slightly changed the
look.. not quite a good.. sadly. :/
BTW Cartoon Network (HB/TURNER/WARNER BROS) will be getting Batman the
animated series next year. The WB channels are still occasionally getting new
episodes of "Batman and Robin"
He played the mischievous entity for another dimension that got stuck as
Frakes sidekick in human form.. was to long ago.. I can't remember. He is
there to keep an eye on Frakes' charactor and his wife's baby.
Yep, once he lost the silly accent.. he was better then Segal. It was a shame
they produced the two years of it with such pitiful animation. :/
The CGI was fun.

are based almost entirely on the ancient Romans, the Klingons originally
were drawing from the Mongols and now are drawing from North American
aboriginal cultures and the Kazon were based on United States inner
city gangs.
        However many of the races are arch-types, Vulcans are logical,
Klingons are violent, Romulans are sneaky, Ferengi are greedy, and
Bajorans are pious.  All are aspects of all of humanity.
