And here we go...
<SteveKrutzler> From Flyboy:
<SteveKrutzler> Riker has been first officer for about twelve years now. I
think its about time for him to get his own ship. Is there any chance of
that happening in ST9?
<MichaelPiller> Yes.
<Steve_Perry> whoa...
<SteveKrutzler> Kivas Fajo: Worf is in it *I think*. Will we hear a mention
of Dax?
<MichaelPiller> In the current draft, yes.
<Steve_Perry> cool
<SteveKrutzler> from Madzak: If Jonathan Frakes directs, will that affect
Riker's role? Will the commander have a prominent role anyway?
<MichaelPiller> Riker will have a romance, will Captain a ship, and perform
a major manuever against a superior force that's attacking him, what do you
think?
<Steve_Perry> I'd call that fairly prominent!
<SteveKrutzler> are you serious?!
<SteveKrutzler> So would I!
<Arman> That is awesome! :-)
<SteveKrutzler> indeed!
<SteveKrutzler> From Allen: What is life in Hollywood like?
<MichaelPiller> Ask my son, he'll tell you. He says "Swingers" was just
what his life is like. I go home at night to be with my family.
<SteveKrutzler> From Gregor Kreyce
<SteveKrutzler> Will There be a Seventh Season in Star Trek: Deep Space
Nine?
<MichaelPiller> I think the chances are good.

 I know, but most of the time, they don't change in American movies. And I
 think that, now we've got the Dominion and the Borg, the Romulans and
Klingons
 CAN change. Not only because they were made to look like USSR, but also
 because they have become a not so big threat.
 So is IMHO Russia because they've got other problems then "a prossible
