Well, if you look a little closer at the times you see her in that suit, you'll notice that the ribs you see are structural to the outfit itself -- they're not the those of the actress. :) --- OLXWin 1.00b GUI -- Generally Used by Idiots * Origin: Derby City LiveWire - Louisville, KY - 502-933-3217 (1:2320/110) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 108 STAR TREK Ref: EEK00007 Date: 10/15/97 From: ALLAN HOFFMAN Time: 11:16am \/To: ROBERT ROY (Read 0 times) Subj: Borg Thoughts What about Hugh the Borg?

Last May, I was checking out the Kmart ad in the Sunday paper, and I saw that they had a RCA Dolby Surround Pro Logic reciever with speakers on sale for $199.00. 120 watts total power, spread over five speakers, (30 watts each for the left, right, and center speakers, and 15 watts each for the two rear speakers.) The first time I watched NextGen in Surround, I was blown away. Now all my favorite shows are a lot better. DS9, Voy, X-Files, Millenium, B5, and all the premium movie channels are all in surround, and it was worth the money I spent for the reciever.

Except for the fact that we're real & the characters in Trek are fictional constructs. Like pieces in a chess game, they're simply instruments, & their movements have to follow the rules of the game, not any whims of their own. On a related note, I watched "The Big Goodbye" again the other night (which I personally happen to think is a GREAT episode, BTW. ). At the end there's a scene between Dix & his cop buddy in which the cop becomes aware that the entire scenario is fiction & asks what will happen to *him* once it's turned off. Picard's reply is that he honestly doesn't know. While it makes good theatrical play (award-winning, as it ultimately turned out), it doesn't make sense from a strictly logical POV unless we accept the premise that holodeck characters can be intuitive & interactive on a full & complete basis (see also "Ship in a Bottle"). I have no problem with *that* sort of possibility for a character perspective, but in the case of our original premise it's a totally different carton of eggs. :) For there to be internal consistency & sensibility in a fictional setting, there have to be some things the characters _can't_ have control over. Would we say that Picard et cie. could have the Enterprise as their ship one week & the Hood or Brattain the next? Welll, don't quite think so. It's a concrete given for the series, so that the whole thing doesn't come off as Completely Ludicrous. :) --- * OLXWin 1.00b * "If winning is not important, why keep score?" -- Worf * wcGATE 4.1 = FidoNet: The Right Note! 502-452-1453 Music Oriented BBS --- GEcho/32 1.20/Pro * Origin: Modem Addictus BBS Decatur,GA 404-321-9037 (1:133/1023) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 108 STAR TREK Ref: EEL00003 Date: 10/16/97 From: BILL NICHOLS Time: 08:39am \/To: DEREK M KWEI (Read 0 times) Subj: yhello DMK> BN> I forget who it was, but someone came in here a few months ago DMK> BN> bragging about how much he knew about Trek & for people to ask him DMK> BN> anything.
