Thanks, but all I really needed to see was that the message was dumped in the appropriate conference. Once I saw that it had then I could upload the backlog of replies that I've accumulated. I guess I should have specified that, eh? However, since I have your attention, I have to ask you: Is "Gene Roddenberry's Earth: Final Conflict" on topic in this conference? Sincerely Yours David G.

RVe> No, I thought it was Visor. I see, you just remembered wrong as opposed to it being changed for easier translation. Of course considering the banality of many of the TNG (and Voyager) episode titles "Visor" would have be just as good a title as "Interface". RVe> Say, are WAY behind on your mail? Yep, partly because of a move from an apartment to a house that left little time for reading mail, plus the fact that a bug cropped up this BBS' mail door that had all my mail being shunted to SCANRADIO instead of TREK. I'm now down to only seven weeks behind though! Sincerely Yours David G. Riess EchoIntermThreadArcheologist ...

The Worf line in T&T was simply a joke at the expense PL> Source please, if you'r going to say 'The Official Word' who's word is PL> that? As in name that person, and what his affiliation is, otherwise, PL> it's just hot air.. Hmmmm? Berman, Piller, Okuda and many others associated with the production of the various Trek series have all stated that the Klingons have always looked that way. Proof? Kahless in "Rightful Heir" looked like a modern Klingon as opposed to a TOS Klingon. "Trials And Tribble-ations" was a humourous episode much in the same vein as the original "The Trouble With Tribbles". Add to the fact the annoyance the producers have expressed with those fans that watch every little continuity detail and nitpick at every little error that crops, it is easy to conclude that the Worf line was a joke at your expense. So now laugh, damn you, laugh! Sincerely Yours David G. Riess EchoContinuityMonger ...

PA> No, doesn't work. PA> The Queen in ST:FC was definitely established as the Queen of all PA> Borg. Was she though? She certainly thought she was but that could easily part of her program. Remember, Picard said she was aboard the Borg vessel in "Best Of Both Worlds". That cube was destroyed in that episode. So I guess the Borg were destroyed at that point and every occurrence of the Borg since then have been a figment of our imagination. Of course the question does begged to be asked is why did Picard only remember her upon encountering her in FC? Sincerely Yours David G. Riess EchoContinuityMonger ...
