IDIC = Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations (Vulcan Credo)
aka Philosophy of Nome
LLaP = Live Long and Prosper
SFB = Star Fleet Battles
SFU = Star Fleet Universe
FASA = Fredonianian Aviation and Space Administration
or Fantasimulations Associates

The Big E = The Enterprise
--MORE--(6%) FX, SFX = (special) Effects
K/S = Generally refers to the "liberal" writing style of some of the less-accepted Trek booksfanzines dealing with Kirk and Spock being "more than close friends".
ILM = Industrial Light and Magic
IMHO = In My Humble Opinion
FYI = For Your Information
teaser = the short scene that comes before the opening credits.
trailer = previews (commercials) for the next EXCITING episode.
retcon = to declare that something never happened (like Kirk's
middle initial being "R")
canon = what Roddenberry/Paramount decides is "real" Trek. Gene has
already declared every novel (including the one(s) he
wrote) to be non-canon.
If you see other acronyms (and are relatively new to UseNet), refer to
the "often asked questions for new users" file in the news.newusers
group (where you'll also find articles on nettiquette that will save you
lots of grief (like keeping signature lines to a minimum)). Episode
names are commonly referred to by acronym; most are fairly easy to
figure out (EaF for "Encounter at Farpoint", etc.).
2) NAMES:
2a) Kirk's middle initial/middle name. It is generally agreed that
Kirk's full name is "James Tiberius Kirk". It was only given as "James
T. Kirk" in TOS, the "Tiberius" didn't come around until TAS ("Bem") and
the novels. In "Where No Man Has Gone Before", Gary Mitchell makes a
gravestone for Kirk that says "James R. Kirk", apparently before Gene
had settled on a middle name (or possibly proof that Gary was failing as
a god).
2b) Spock's other name (you couldn't pronounce it, as he told the blonde
in "This Side of Paradise") isn't given in TOS or TFS. It is given in
one or more of the books if you care to believe them. According to the
Officer's Manual, it is Xtmprszntwlfd (pronounced with six syllables).
In "Journy to Babel" there's this exchange:
Kirk: Mrs. Sarek...
Amanda: Amanda. I'm afraid you pronounce the Vulcan form.
Kirk: Can you?
Amanda: In a fashion, after many years of practice.
2c) McCoy's middle initial is given in "Friday's Child" and TFS as "H".
Some novels have it as "H"; others as "T". Geoffrey Mandel's Officer's
Manual lists his middle name as Horatio.
2d) Data's name was shown on a computer screen once as "Lt. Cmdr NFN NMI
Data" ("No First Name, No Middle Initial").
2e) As a general rule, Vulcan males have five-letter names starting with
"S" and ending with "K" (Spock, Sybok, Sarek, etc.) in honor of Surak,
and Vulcan females have names starting with "T'" (T'Pau, T'Pring, etc.).
The explanations for Saavik are either "she;s part Romulan, so the
naming convention didn't hold" or "Her name is T'Saavik, but the "T'S"
is too hard to pronounce.
2f) Other names from Geoffrey Mandel's Officer Manual: Montgomery Edward
Scott, Itaka Sulu (though George prefers Walter and Gene and some novels
call him Hikaru) , Upenda Uhura (some sources say Nyota), Pavel
Andreievich Chekov (also stated as such in "The Way to Eden"), and
Christopher Robin Pike.
3) TNG RANKS: Deanna Troi's rank was given as "Lt. Cmdr" in "Encounter
at Farpoint" (the pilot episode) and occasionally on computer displays
(e.g. "The Child"). Wes was made an acting ensign by Picard in "Where
No One Has Gone Before", then made full ensign in "Menage a Troi" and
given a uniform. Riker was given a field promotion to Captain in "The
Best of Both Worlds Part 2", but was back to being a commander in the
next episode. The "pips" (the circles on the uniform collars) signify
rank. A hollow circle counts as a half circle:
0.5: Ensign, Junior Grade
1.0: Ensign
1.5: Lt., Junior Grade
2.0: Lt.
2.5: Lt. Commander
3.0: Commander
4.0: Captain
5.0: Commodore/Fleet Captain
4) WARP:
4a) The fastest the original Enterprise has gone (not counting "off the
scale") was 14.1 in "That Which Survives". The Enterprise-D seems to
have a top speed slightly less than 10, not counting the time Q flung it
a great distance. Riker mentioned that warp 10 instigates time travel.
In "Where No One Has Gone Before" it is mentioned that the Enterprise
has reached or passed warp 10.
4b) For TOS, speed is (warp ^ 3) * c, which yeilds:
warp c
---- ----
1 1
2 8
3 27
4 64
5 125
6 216
7 343
8 512
9 729
10 1000
11 1331
12 1728
13 2197
14.1 2803.221
4c) The ST:TNG Writer's Technical Manual, third season edition contains
the following table:
warp c comment
---- ---- -------
1 1
2 10
3 39
4 102
5 214
6 392 normal cruising speed.
7 656
8 1024
9 1516
9.6 1909 maximum attainable speed for E
9.9 3053 maximum speed for E under any circumstances
9.99 7912
10 infinite
Notes not from the guide:
For warp speeds 1 through 9, the formula w ^ (10/3) provides the
numbers shown, rounded to the integer.
4d) From Richard Arnold: The story on transwarp drive: it doesn't work.
The warp drive that we see on TNG is not transwarp or ultrawarp or
whatever you want to call it. It is an improved version of the same warp drive that we saw on TOS (ast the fifth generation warp drive according to Goldstien's Spaceflight Chronology). The Excelirpoed that Transwarp wouldn't work by being destroyed by it during a test flight. FASA has anohe cteor system which TPTB don't acknowledge.
5) McCoy's "I'm a doctor not a _____" EPISODE
Bricklayer Devil in the Dark
Escalator Friday's Child
Engineer Mirror, Mirror
Mechanic The Doomsday Machine
Psychiatrist The City on the Edge of Forever
Some variations on the theme occur in "The Deadly Years" where he says
"I'm not a Magician, I'm just an old country doctor", and in "The
Corbomite Maneuver" where he asks "What am I, a doctor or a Moon shuttle conductor?" Also, in "Amok", Kirk asks "Well, are you a doctor or aren't you?" and in ST5 says something like "Dammit Bone,yur a doctor." ST2 has a more vague reference when Kirk says "Physician, heal thyself", McCoy ay "s ha all you've got to say? What about my performance?", and Kirk replies "I'm not a drama ritc". Th lie may have originated with Heinlein's 1952 novel "The Rolling Stones." In that book Dr.Edit Stoe sas, "How can I be sure? I'm a doctor, not a fortune-teller."
6) STARDATES, YEARS, AGES, ETC.:
In TOS the stardates ranged from 1513 (Man Trap) to 5928 (Turnabout Intruder). At this time Ged intended for stardates to be based on Julian dates modulo 10000, with one stardate being 24 hor nlngth.
There are numerous examples where this is false. Some of the most
blatant are The Immunity Syndrome (where a quick calculation shows that one stardate is less than 2.rs) and Requiem for Methuselah (where one stardate figures out to be about 960 hours). There areafweisodes where the stardates actually decrease during the show.
In TNG, the stardate is also supposed to be 24 hours, and is in the form 4xyyy.y where "x" is tason number and yyy.y is a random number that increases (usually) throughout the season.
1992-1997 Eugenics Wars (according to Off Manual/TMP novel)
1993-1996 Eugenics War (according to Space Seed)
2018 Last use of sleeper ships (according to Space Seed)
2031-2039 Clone Wars (according to Off Manual (80)/TMP novel)
2035 US gets 52nd state (according to The Royale)
2047 Mind Control Revolt (according to Off Manual/TMP novel)
2049 First Kzinti Invasion of Earth (according to Off Manual)
2064 Kzinti Invasions Halt (according to Off Manual)
2079 All United Earth "nonsense" abolished (according to
Encounter at Farpoint)
The year in TOS is somewhere between 2260 and 2286.
The Officer's Manual says TMP took place in 2265.
The year on a bottle of Romulan Ale is given in The Wrath of Khan as 2283(?)
Khan was marooned for 15 years at the time of ST2.
TNG is 93-100 years after TOS, and 78-79 years after TMP.
TOS "Ballentine Concordance (1976)": Gives McCoy's age as 45.
TOS "Who Mourns for Adonais": Chekov gives his age as 22.
TOS "The Deadly Years": Kirk's age is given as 34.
TNG "The Neutral Zone": Data gives the year as 2364.
TNG "Encounter at Farpoint": McCoy's age is given as 137.
TOS "Journey to Babel": Sarek's age is given as 102.437.
TNG "Sarek": Sarek's age is given as 202.
TNG "The Schizoid Man": Wes said "Data, chronologically, you're not much older than I am."
TNG "DataLore": Data says he was found 26 years ago.
TNG "Datalore": Data details exactly how many years he spent at the Academy, how many as an ensetc. Counting backwards from stardate 41xxx.x would give his grad date.
TNG "Encounter at Farpoint": Data graduated SFA in the class of '78 with Honors in Dextral Biolnd Probability Mechanics.
TNG "Encounter at Farpoint": The Post-Atomic Age started in 2078.
TNG "Encoutner at Farpoint" (and the Officers Manual): the New
United Nations was formed in 2036 (the Officers Manual says this
happened during the Clone Wars).
Kirk was born in the year 2228 in Riverside, Iowa, where a statue
of him has been erected.
The book "The Final Reflection" (non-canon, but who really cares) puts the lifespan of a Klingoabout 40 years (terran). Worf would be about 15, by this reckoning.
William Shatner was born on March 22, 1931
Leonard Nimoy was born on March 26, 1931.
DeForest Kelley was born on Jan 20, 1920
7) HOW TO OBTAIN CREATIVE MATERIAL:
This section contains locations where you can find Star Trek parodies, pictures (GIFs, PostScript drs, ASCII artwork, etc.), scripts, fortune/quotes files, the episode guide, and tech manuals)

7b) Or you can telnet (not ftp) to mbbs.cc.columbia.edu (128.59.41.3), and follow the information gio you from there. Essentially you'd be able to connect to a file server which you can download fls(emit or xmodem protocols only) located in several places. Go to the "pictures" location and he ty o et any of the "Startrek" gif files.
These are the pictures available in the Startrek directory:

7c) Chuan Chee ([email protected]) has collected a huge number of
the Star Trek parodies from rec.arts.startrek and alt.startrek.creative.
They are available from Princeton via anonymous ftp or via email, at
least until the disk space is needed for something else.
anonymous ftp: math.princeton.edu (128.112.128.157) in directory
pub/rjc/st. The file p.files contains an index to the parodies. The parodies themselves are packed groups; the archive p.01.tar.Z contains parodies 010 through 019. If you don't know what ".tar.Z en,ask your system administrator.
email: Send the message "send p.files" to [email protected]. For each parody you wish, send thsage "send p.parody-number" to the same address. For example, "send p.014" to get parody number1. iit one request per person per day.
Note: Please use ftp if you possibly can. Sending large amounts of email is considered bad mannersystem administrators.
There's also a "fortune" file for both TOS and TNG with humorous and/or memorable quotes from the eps. These fortune files, as well as this FAQL and the monthly posting of Star Trek Actors' OtherRlsae also available on math.princeton.edu (for ftp only).
7d) People without ftp access can find lots of trek-related stuff
(including this FAQL) on the Memory Alpha BBS (607) 257-5822.
The deanna.gif file is available at jumbo.hartford.edu in
./pub/tng/gif/147.gif and ./pub/tng/tga/147.tga.Z, so stop asking :-)
[ Any ftp site have the "Sam Donaldson as a Vulcan" picture? --ed ]
[ Anyone feel like maintaining a list of all sites with TNG GIFs,
parodies, scripts, sound files, and other creative material (and
possibly an index of what is at each site? I considered expanding this FAQL, but it would double the of it and it's already too big ]
7e) If you want a list of TNG episodes (for all seasons), the schedule information is presented by V (Mr. Video (Mike Brown)) who also puts out a very nice guide (which contains all kinds of usefu nolke names of actors/actresses) which is available by anonymous ftp at mammoth.unr.edu (134.19.4.21)inthe /pub/guides/startrek directory as well as caesar.cs.montana.edu (192.31.215.202) in he pubguies/t-tng directory. All the information needed (which files to get and what to do withthem(unpckin, prnting, etc.)) is in the README file at the same sites. The guide is also availale byanonyous UCP frm Mike at
Phone: 608-274-9275
Baud: 19200/2400/1200
Login: anonuucp
Password: none (it will not be asked)
The main directory is ~nuucp/guides. In there you will find a file
called dir.list. Get it, as it will list all of the latest files that are in the guides' directory.er you get it, study it and then request the files that you need. This area contains more than TTGgides and lists. The area will be under constant changes, as new lists and updates will be ade.
Updates are posted to rec.arts.startrek.info occasionally.
7f) Other good sources for information (on both series) are:
"The Making of Star Trek" by Stephen Whitfield (Ballantine/Del Ray 68)
"Star Fleet Technical Manual" by Franz Joseph (Ballantine/Del Ray 75)
"Star Trek Blueprints" by Franz Joseph (Ballantine/Del Ray 75)
"Star Trek Concordance" by Bjo Trimble (Ballantine/Del Ray 76)
"Star Trek Compendium" by Allan Asherman (Pocket Books 81, 87, 89)
"The Klingon Dictionary" by Marc Okrand (Pocket Books 85)
"Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise" by Shane Johnson (Pocket Books 87)
"The Worlds of the Federation" by Shane Johnson (Pocket Books 89)
"The Writer's/Director's Guide" (new editions put out for each season)
FASA has the "Officers Manual", but it has been pulled or denounced by Gene since it contradicts a l what has been said on TNG or in the Writer's/Director's Guide (Betazoids are NOT from Haven, StrFetdid NOT think of creating the post of counselor when they discovered telepaths, etc.) Roddeberytod hem to stop publishing the manual until they corrected the inaccuracies, but instead FAS mae 23 mre rintings. They will be releasing a new edition that has been worked out with Paramont, nd Rchar Arnld has said somewhat enthusiastically that it is going to be quite nice and meet withGene' apprval.
FASA recently published the long-awaited canon manual, the First Season Sourcebook Update. Unfortun, some of the information is already outdated, such as the Betazoid homeworld is STILL not Haven lhuh that was stated in the first season episode "Haven".
And of course you can get lots of Trek stuff from Trek cons and
magazines (Starlog seems to be the most popular).
Lincoln Enterprises themselves are at most conventions, and they sell writer's guides from every sealong with final scripts from episodes. In fact, these scripts even have scenes that are cut outdet he episode running long.
7g) rec.arts.startrek.creative's FTP site is scam.berkeley.edu
(128.32.138.1). The rasi articles are located in the directory
~ftp/misc/info (it's partitioned into subdirectories of months).
There's a README file there. Access times are unrestricted (scam has excellent Internet access).
8a) LEAVING THE GALAXY: The Enterprise has left the galaxy in "TOS: Where No Man Has Gone Before", By Any Other Name", "TOS: Is There in Truth No Beauty?", and "TNG: Where No One Has Gone Before. n"T5:TFF" they crossed the barrier at the center of the galaxy.
8b) PICARD'S SURRENDERS:
* "Encounter at Farpoint": Picard says "Transmit the following in all languages and in all freque; 'We surrender'."
* "The Outrageous Okono": Picard drops shields "In case we decide to surrender to them."
* "A Matter of Honor": Picard surrenders to Riker on the Pagh.
* "The Defector": The Romulans ask Picard to surrender, but he doesn't.
* "Peak Performance": Riker asks Picard "Would you care to surrender
now?" even before the wargames begin.
* "Peak Performance": Picard surrenders to the Ferengi, but they don't accept.
* "The Last Outpost": Picard tries to surrender to the Ferengi, but they beat him to it.
* "Yesterday's Enterprise": Alternate-Picard refuses to surrender to the Klingons.
8c) SELF-DESTRUCTS:
* "11001001": Picard tries to self destruct.
* "Where Silence Has Lease": Picard tries to self destruct for Nagilum.
* "Contagion": Virus-induced sort-of-self-destruct-like-thing.
* Kirk tried to self destruct in "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield", "By Any Other Name", and finalcceeds in ST3:TSFS.
8d) TOS time travel:
1. The Guardian of Forever ("City on the Edge of Forever")
2. The slingshot effect ("Tomorrow Is Yesterday")
3. Cold-starting the warp engines ("The Naked Time")
4. Mr. Atoz's time travel system ("All Our Yesterdays")
5. Isis' time-space transporter ("Assignment: Earth")
8e) TNG time travel:
1. Picard from the future ("Time Squared")
2. Enterprise from the past ("Yesterday's Enterprise")
3. Riker thinks he's in the future ("Future Imperfect")
9) Any correspondence with Paramount, Gene, the actors, etc. should be sent to:
Paramount Studios
Star Trek Offices
5555 Melrose Ave.
Hollywood, CA 90038-3197
Note that scripts have a better chance of getting accepted if you have an agent. Paramount gets abo0 fan-written scripts a year and uses about four of them. See the separate section in this postn nsbmitting scripts.
Lincoln Enterprises is run by Majel Barrett (Mrs. Roddenberry, formerly Majel Leigh Hudec), and is so be the best source for fan paraphanalia, scripts, etc. This is the best place to get a WritersGiefrom if you're not an established writer. The address is:
Lincoln Enterprises
Box 691370
Los Angeles, CA 90069
(213) 462-3850 (orders only, $15 minimum by credit card)
Star Tech has some good stuff too, like the blooper reels on tape (four tapes for TOS and one for TNson one), movie soundtrack CDs, etc.
However, some of their recorded tapes seem to be "gray market", so
beware:

Franklin Mint came out with a Pewter Enterprise ($198.00), a pewter
Klingon ship, and a Star Trek Chess Set (Kirk and Khan as opposing kings (redshirts as pawns?)) a fers back, and I think CitiCorp or someone has a Star Trek VISA (with some outrageous annual fee).
10) None of the crew read Usenet (though we have a writer or two on here). Wheaton and some of the nd-the-scenes" people are on
Compu$erve/GEnie though. When Wil starts at UCLA, it would be easy for him to obtain a Usenet accouo he may be lurking. :-)
11) Yes, the TOS Enterprise could separate; just that it would take a lot more work (and a bigger ef budget) to put it back together.
Kirk orders Scotty to "disengage nacelles, jettison if possible" in "The Savage Curtain" and "discar warp drive nacelles if you have to and crack out of there with the main section, but get that si u f there!" in "The Apple".
12) GAMES: The FASA Star Trek game is pretty much ignored by the r.a.s community, though many seem ke the variety of TOS and TNG drinking games that show up occasionally. [ Anyone know if these aeFPbe from anywhere? There are a few computer games based on Star Trek as well (I even wrote a ew. Th rles and board layout of the 3-D chess game Kirk kept beating Spock at are posted every oce n awhie.
13a) Yes, Merritt Butrick is dead. He played Kirk's son David in the movies as well as T'Jon an Ornn in TNG's "Symbiosis", along-side of Judson Scott (who played Sobi, a Brekkianof and also a pero htserved with Khan). The actor died in March 1989 due to complications related to the AIDS vius
13b) Susan Oliver (who played Vina in "The Cage") also recently died (early 1990).
13c) Roger Carmel (Harcourt Fenton Mudd) died around 1989/1990 due to some sort of medication or lacreof.
13d) Also among the recent deceased are James Blish, Gene Coon, and
Ceilia Lovsky.
13e) Kirk Thatcher:
* Was associate producer of ST4.
* Was the actor who played the Punk on the Bus in ST4.
* Wrote the song "I Hate You" which the punk was listening to.
* Is a member of the band "Edge of Etiquette" which performed the song.
* Is Margaret Thatcher's son. ("THE Margaret Thatcher?")
14) According to ST:TNG Writer's/Director's guide (1987): "Starfleet is NOT a military organization. saluting. We may hear the word 'Sir,' but it is intended as the same kind of courtesy used by uirad senior officers on commercial airliners....No stories about warfare with Klingons or Romulnsan n sories with Vulcans." Granted the Romulan/Klingon/Vulcan rule has laxed, Starfleet is sillbascaly nn-military (except when they are cornered, like the Borg situation).
The fourth season ST:TNG Writer's Technical Manual says to mentally merge NASA, the Coast Guard and rch ships like Calypso to gain a concept of the Enterprise's mission. I guess we're supposed tobleethat court-martials and brigs are non-military, huh?
15) Both Shatner and Nimoy have attempted to sing and have a few albums out (from the early 70s, I ve). They are *extremely* bad and only good for comic relief.
Nichelle Nichols originally sang the tune Uhura was singing in ST5, but TPTB decided a few daysre the film was released to dub in Hiroshima singing the song.
The band T'Pau (named after the Vulcan priestess from TOS "Amok Time") claim they are not Star fans; they just liked the name. DJs enjoy putting a few lines from "Amok Time" during the openigo h song "Heart and Soul" (McCoy: "Do you know who that is? That's T'Pau!"
T'Pau: "Thees ees da Voolcan heart; thees ees da Voolcan soul...")
The Minneapolis band (now based in New York) "Information Society" likes putting Star Trek quot their songs. "Pure Energy" had Spock's line "pure energy" (from the Organian episode) in it (adltrreleases of the song have McCoy saying something like "we're not out of this yet"), "Think" asKik ayng "Think about it" (any takers on which episode?), "Something in the Air" has a long sceam(aparetlytaken from TOS), and there's another song (the name escapes me) that has a line fromSpoc, Sctt, r boh. Someone mentioned that Adam Nimoy (Leonard's son) is a fan and friend of thegroup
Leonard Nimoy was on the cover of the Bangles' first album.
Susan Vega has a reference to Star Trek in one of her songs.
The German band Nina mentions "Captain Kirk" in their songs "99 Luftballoons" and "99 Red Ballo
The first three seasons of TNG are in stereo, the fourth is in Dolby Surround stereo.

TOS "Space Seed": As Kirk is bashing in Khan's glass coffin, his phaser falls off his belt. Mkeeps looking down at it, like he's wondering when they're going to yell 'cut' so they can re-sho h cene. They never did re-shoot because they didn't want to invest in more glass.
TOS "Operation: Annihilate!": In a well-known ST blooper, the amoeba-creature accidentally hitck's rear end instead of his back.
TOS "Court-Martial": Kirk says "Gentlemen, this computer has an auditory sensor. It can, in e, hear sounds. By installing a booster we can increase that capability on the order of one to tefut power" (which the writers seemed to think sounded more impressive than "one") :-) (and wejut av t assume that the voices and other ship noises were masked out like the heartbeats were)
ST4:TWoK: When Khan comforts his fallen comrade (the guy with the
blond hair) you can see that guy closed his eyes even though he is
"dead".
TNG "The Royale": The surface temperature of the planet is less than absolute zero. Also, aftey beam the piece of the ship out of orbit, O'Brien and Riker pick it up with their bare hands (oigfom space, it should have been close to zero Kelvin itself).
TNG "Conspiracy": Riker says "Mr. LaForge, ahead warp six." Geordi responds with "Aye, sir, fupulse."
TNG "Sins of the Father": The sound effects people must have
fallen asleep every time someone got slapped.
TNG "Brothers": Data's password doesn't match what was displayed on the screen.
17) What are we?
Trekkie: A groupie fan. Someone who wears Spock ears and thinks that makes them important. Asks qons like "what did you have for breakfast on the tuesday when you shot scene 46a of episode 5?" h otdie-hard fan, who lives, eats, and breathes Star Trek. Term originated in the late 1960s.
Trekker: A fan who is interested in the show and the idea of Star Trek, but doesn't let it interferh his/her life. This is apparently being added to an upcoming edition of Webster's Dictionary. Tr ae into popularity in the 1970s when the press gave "Trekkie" a bad name.
trekker: (with a small "t") A person who travels vast distances.
Trekologist: A fan who is a good source for information about Star
Trek. Ususally can answer the most obscure Trek trivia.
Treknician: A fan who enjoys collecting data (and debating with others) on the technical aspect of Trek (warp technology, transporter technology, etc.). Enjoys collecting ST technical literatureadtyng to logically and rationally explain continuity errors in the show.
18) CREW BACKGROUNDS:
James Tiberius Kirk is from Riverside, Iowa; he was married in "Paradise Syndrome", and is now ower. He was also in love (if he knows the meaning of the word) with someone named "Ruth" ("ShoeLae), and mentioned that he almost married that little blonde lab tech that Gary Mitchel steare Krks ay("Where No Man Has Gone Before") which some have guessed to be none other than Carol Marus.
See also the "Love Interests" monthly posting for further details.
Leonard McCoy was in love with someone named "Nancy", whom the salt-sucker takes the form of in Man Trap". They were going to mention in one episode that he had been married with a daughter ae onna, but it never made it on film.
Chekov's ex-girlfriend (Irena [Irini?] Galliulin) is seen in "The Way to Eden".
Saavik was half Vulcan and half Romulan. This wasn't mentioned in the movie (probably cut to sime), but it was in the novelization, the trailer shown on Siskel & Ebert, and was mentioned by twr n the special showing of "The Cage".
William T. Riker is from Valdez Alaska. His mother died while he was young (three?). His faths shown in "The Icarus Factor". Wil has turned down three captaincies (the Drake mentioned in "rea f Freedom" (and "Encounter at Farpoint"?), the Aries in "The Icarus Factor", and the Melboure n Bet f Both Worlds"). He enjoys Jazz music (his middle name is supposedly the name of a jazzmuscia), lay the trombone, is a master of poker, and enjoys cooking. The character was based onDeckr.
Jean-Luc Picard is from France. He never married, has an
artificial heart (from his wild younger days), enjoys Shakespeare,
horseback riding, Dixon Hill novels, and Earl Grey tea. He is
responsible for the death of Jack Crusher. (aside: Patrick Stewart left school at the age of 15 beche was "not interested".)
Data has an ultimate storage capacity of eight hundred quadrillion
bits. His total linear computational speed has been rated at sixty trillion operations per second ("Measure of a Man"). He was built by Dr. Noonian Soong, who was taught by the guy in "The Schizi a"
He and Tasha Yar were "more than friends" ("The Naked Now"). The
character was based on Questor, from "The Questor Tapes".
Worf's parents were killed at K'timar in a Romulan attack. His adopted parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ro, (from the planet Galt) were shown in "Family". He has a brother (Commander Kurn), a dead girlrndKEhleyr, a bastard son Alexander ("Reunion"), and a bonded son Jeremy ("The Bonding").
Geordi LaForge is named after a Star Trek fan that was handicapped, and passed away. His name ordi (sp?) and he had one of those horrible diseases that destroy your body's "electrical system. aoge was born blind, given sight by Riker ("Hide and Q") which he decided he didn't want, and ecde aaist a sight operation by Dr. Pulaski
Deanna Troi has a Betazed mother (Lwaxana) and a human father
(deceased), enjoys chocolate, and was imzade (sp?) to Riker. She used to have a betazoid cat (from pisode where Picard was with the holo-horse). Her character was based on Ilia.
Beverly Crusher is a widower and mother of Wes Crusher, whose
father (Jack) was killed while serving under Picard. She was head of Starfleet Medical for one year Miles Edward O'Brien enjoys kayaking and poker, and was married in
season four.
Guinan has only been on the Enterprise for a few years and, didn't know Picard before coming ond [episode?] but somehow has known Picard for a long, long time [episode?]. Her relationship wihPcr is more than family; more than friends (from "Best of Both Worlds II"). She is left-handed(nt urriing, since Whoopi is).
19) The uniforms were changed from the spandex one-piece suits (that made the cast look muscular) towool two-piece suits (that make them look flabby but are more comfortable). The new uniforms cot$00apiece to manufacture. Most of the extras are still wearing the old uniforms. Another reasn orth sitch is that Brent Spiner suffers from some back injury. Because spandex is skin-tight,he ouln'twea his brace underneath. The wool is loose enough and you can occasionally see the to of he bace nderthe costume if you look at his chest. In just about every episode you can see Pcard and ohers)tuggig at their uniforms as they ride up. This has been known on and off the setas "th Picar manuvr".
If you want a Star Trek uniform: Look for Simplicity or McCalls pattern book in your favorite fabrip. In the back there are Star Trek uniforms for adults and children, both sexes. You can also ge h aterns from Paramount's "Star Trek: The Official Fan Club" (both TOS and TNG uniforms).
If you're not "sew" talented and want one pre-made, Intergalactic
Trading Post of Tampa Florida is one of many companies that make them in several sizes. They generahow up at Star Trek/SF conventions.
20a) Untelevized TOS episodes:
The Cage
He Has Walked Among Us (unfilmed)
Paleface
(other titles I can't remember)
A black and white original of "The Cage" was pieced back together with the color clips stolen fhe Menagerie" which has since been televised. Just before the premier of TNG, Paramount "found"acp f "The Cage" which was all in color (which they then televised). It is marred by drastic chngs n heTalosians' voices in mid-sentence, otherwise it is fun to watch (along with a grinning, houingSpok).
The color version they show now has been cut down to an hour and has Spock's famous "grinning at theing plants" scene removed. Sigh.
20b) Yes, "Assignment Earth" was indeed a pilot that never got off the ground. One of a few. Gene d to create some more shows. The reference for this is in the book The Making of Star Trek, (thewiecver, not the silver one).
20c) The Great Bird was involved with pilots for three different new TV series in the early seventie Three different pilots were apparently shot for one of the series, not unlike the series of pil ht had to be shot to get "Star Trek" into production. The first of these was "Genesis II," starn AexCord and Mariette Hartley. In it, Dylan Hunt, a NASA scientist doing research on suspende aimtio inan underground lab, gets accidentally buried for a half millennium or so, and emerges ntoa pst-nclea-holocaust world. The story concerns the interaction of two societies, one devote to ood orks nd th progression of all humankind, and the other to being Nazi-style lords and masers. "Plant Eart" was he second pilot. Set in the same future, with minor alterations in backgrund an forma, it strred Jon Saxon as Dylan Hunt, with folks like Diana Muldaur and Janet Margoli in majr parts
It was just an extended TV episode with some good stuff in it; a mutant warrior race called the Kriep? never saw a script in print) look a *great* deal like retconned Klingons. The third movie, aprnl a sort of a last-ditch attempt to produce a network-acceptable pilot, was called "Strange Nw ord, ad completely gutted the earlier forms of the series format. It starred John Saxon in th led, ut o oe else I ever heard of, and was such a lox I can understand why G.R.'s name wasn't o it.It semedto b three scripts pasted together, end-to-end.
Roddenberry made two other pilots during this era; "Spectre" and "The Questor Tapes." "SPECTas a lovely idea that could have made a great series, since its format allowed the inclusion of otmjr horror fiction, even including H.P. Lovecraft's "elder gods." It starred Robert Culp andGi Yun, nd is a *FUN* movie, if you ever get a chance to see it. I believe it would have gone srie, i mae i the last few years, but at the end of the Nixon era, horror, even humorous horror, as uaccetabl far to the majority of TV watchers. ("Spectre" deals with an occult investigator ad hisM.D. idekik, wh keep getting involved with nasty superbeings from other times and dimension; the ero's ousekeper isa witch, and puts a no-drinking geas on the alcoholic M.D. sidekick in te openig scene.)
"The Questor Tapes" starred Robert Foxworth and Mike Farrell,
providing some of the best acting ever seen in a a TV SF movie.
(Foxworth does a scene as the robot learning how to use vocal inflection while carrying on a convers with the first human it's ever spoken with.) The movie suffers a bit from the obviousness of tesre format it sets up; noble alien with sideck, on the run from various governmental authoritie, hie ryng to learn human emotions and fulfill its mission to help the human race. A bit of a ywn n pint bu it could have been a *good* series, with decent writing.
Dorothy C. Fontana wrote a novelization of "The Questor Tapes" in paperback, and you might be ao find it in a used book store. I believe scripts for at least the best four are available from"icl Enterprises," or folks like that.
21a) SUBMITTING SCRIPTS FOR TNG:
Paramount has finally received permission from its legal department to read and purchase fan-sued scripts. You do NOT need an agent (though it helps), and the scripts do NOT have to be solicie. ts now gotten so bad that there is a room filled to the rafters with boxes which are labeled y onh th month the script came in). There are 3 or 4 people on staff who do NOTHING but read th scipt, ad sbmit the more interesting ones up for further consideration. These people are not, nd CNNOTbe, tar rek fans...they are there to judge a story on its merits.
You do have to send for a Paramount Release Form, which has to be legally executed. Address a sd, self-addressed, legal-size envelope and send it with the request for a Release Form to Michae ilror Eric A. Stillwell (Star Trek Script Coordinator) at the address given for Paramount under"Adrsss"in this posting.
Also, it may be a good idea to ask for the one-page ST:TNG Script Submissions suggestions as weParamount STRONGLY suggests that you obtain a ST:TNG Writer's Guide from Lincoln Enterprises, sic hydo NOT send out sample scripts. They want a teaser of 3-5 pages and five Scenes of 9-11 pags. Tta sripts should be 53 to 58 pages. After the Powers That Be make enough cuts, it'll end upas bou 43mintes of airtime. For an agent, contact the Writer's Guild of America (one in NYC andone n LA andask hem to send you an Agent list, then start writing query letters to those agents hat hve inicate theyare willing to consider new authors.
Besides the Writer's Guide, here's some other useful information you can get from Lincoln Enters:
8001 - ST:TNG Writer's Guide $9.95
1106 - How to sell a script by D.C. Fontana $3.95
1101 - Original (TOS) Writer's Guide $4.95

Include $2.00 shipping for up to $10.00 worth of merchandise, $0.50 for each additional $5.00 worth rchandise. Prices accurate as of 7/90.
21b) SUBMITTING A STORY TO POCKET BOOKS:
This comes through Peter David from Kevin Ryan at Pocket Books: the official Pocket Books Star Novel Submission guidelines.
** Due to the overwhelming number of submissions that we receive, Pocket Books can only accept solic agented manuscripts. A comprehensive list of agents can be found in THE LITERARY MARKETPLACE *
FORMAT: All manuscripts must be submitted typed, double-spaced, on one side of non-corrasable typingr. The page number and your name should be at the top of each page. Your full name and addresssol ppear on the first and last page of the manuscript (yes, include your phone number).
PROCEDURE: Submit the first three chapters with a detailed synopsis (four to six pages) of the entirt. Due to the large volume of submissions we receive, our reply can take anywhere from one to sxmnh...so please be patient. If we're interested in publishing your novel, we'll contact your aen wthanoffer. We may ask for revisions, and may also ask to see the completed novel before reahin a eciion
CONTENTS: We're only interested in full-length adventure novels of
roughly 70,000 words (about 250-300 pages). We cannot use short
stories, poetry, biographies, romances, blueprints, or trivia books.
In a one-sentence description, we're looking for exciting science
fiction stories featuring the Star Trek characters we all know and love.
All material is subject to the approval of Paramount Pictures, who are very concerned about maintainhe integrity of the characters and the Star Trek universe. Absolute consistency is a practical mosblity, but some major themes to avoid include:
* Traveling in time to change history or learn something, rescue
someone, etc.
* Having a tear in the fabric of reality which could destroy the
universe.
* Pon farr in Spock.
* Death of a major, established character.
* Any plot which hines on or describes in detail sexual relations
(normal, abnormal, and so on). We are not interested in books that suggest anything other than friep between Kirk and Spock or any other crewmembers.
* Any plot that mixes the Next Generation and the original crew.
* Data becoming human.
Plot elements to avoid with respect to specific characters:
Kirk: no offspring or close relations not already established. Also, no childhood or current sweeth; though, you can create temporary love interests.
Spock: no sisters, brothers, half siblings (beyond Sybok), offspring, sudden reversions to emotion, The Vulcan mind-meld has already been seriously overused of late. No explanations of the "Vula a"beyond what has already been done in the TV series or movies.
McCoy: no offspring or close relations not already established.
We can no loner use castmembers who have left the show (no Tasha Yar or Dr. Pulaski).
For any regular castmembers--same rules as per Kirk.
Also, other crewmembers: in general, avoid trying to definitively map out a character's history mucond what has already been done in the movies or television episodes.
Of course there are guidelines. Disobey them at your own peril if
necessary to your story--but remember, you were warned.
Thank you for your interest in STAR TREK and good luck with your
writing.
Best,
The Star Trek Editors.
The address for Pocket is Simon & Schuster Building, 1230 Avenue of the Americas, NY, NY 10020. Theors are Dave Stern and Kevin Ryan.

23a) IS PARAMOUNT MAKING MONEY ON TNG?
Yes. Tons. The following is stolen from industry trade magazines VARIETY and BROADCASTING, as as Roger Tang:
FIRST: License fees (the fees studios charge individual stations to run their programs): Let' Paramount charges each station $2,000 to run the first run package. That's ball park; other sttoscn get $10-20K per episode in top 20 markets. Also, Turner can expect $800,000 to $1 million erepsoe how of THE WONDER YEARS when it goes into backend syndication. $2,000 per episode times238staion yilds $476,000 per episode shown in first run syndication (which does NOT count the laer sndictionor bckend syndication).
SECOND: Commercial fees: According to Vidiot, Paramount has seven minutes of national advertiin each show. BROADCASTING has published figures of $60-80,000 per 30 second spot. (They have as etoned that rates for the third and fourth seasons are around $135,000 per 30 second spot). Praout s arnering $1,890,000 per showing of an episode.
THIRD: But wait! Shows are shown more than once even in first run syndication. Let's assume rate of $50,000 per spot in reruns (doubt it, since people are STILL watching during reruns). vnarrun episode will garner $700,000 in commercial revenue.
THE BOTTOM LINE: $476,000 + $1,890,000 + $700,000 = well over $3 million in revenue per episodfirst run syndication. And we all know studios base their financing on just breaking even in bakn ydication. So the claim that Paramount is losing $8 million is just creative financing.
Then again, we can throw away our calculations and take Richard Arnold's word that (at least inon One) TNG was grossing $10 million per episode.
23b) The average episode COSTS Paramount $1.6 million (was $1.4
million), including the weekly paycheck of Stewart ($100,000) and Burton ($100,000). (DeForest Kellntioned at a con once that TOS cost $200,000 for an average episode, though records seem to showi s$00,000 to $120,000).
24) MONEY IN THE FUTURE
TOS "Catspaw": Some extra says "I'll bet credits to navy beans we can punch a hole in it."
TOS "Mirror, Mirror": Mirror-Kirk says "You want credits, Spock? I'll make you a rich man."
TOS "Operation--Annihilate": Kirk says "I don't care what it takes or costs, just help him."
TOS [episode? --ed]: Kirk says "Scotty, you've earned your pay for the week."
NOVEL "Crisis on Centaurus": Kirk uses back salary to purchase a great deal of wilderness landlpha Centauri. There are offers to buy it should he fall behind on his taxes, but he refuses tosl rallow it to be developed.
NOVEL "Enterprise": Kirk orders the computer to "close out his [bank] account".
NOVEL "The Wounded Sky": The reward money for passing through a singularity, to be awarded to 's crew, is enough to "buy
starfleet". Also, at one point, Kirk mentions to himself something along the lines of "Starfleet peell are tax-exempt."
ST4: Kirk tells the female lead that there is no money in the future (but he might just mean they don't have U.S. dollars, which is what she was enquiring about).
TNG "Encounter at Farpoint": Bev Crusher buys a roll of cloth and has her account on the ship d.
TNG (The episode with the frozen 20th century people): Picard mentions that they don't have mo TNG: People are always offering to buy each other coffee, etc in Ten Forward, but this may jusa gesture, since we never see anyone pay for anything.
25) RELIGION IN THE FUTURE
TOS "Bread and Circuses": McCoy says "If you speak of worship, we serve many beliefs". Uhura es out that they aren't worshipping the sun, but the "Son of God".
TOS "Errand of Mercy": Spock says "Even the gods did not spring into being overnight".
TOS "Obsession": Scotty says "Thank heavens", to which Spock
replies "Mr. Scott, there was no deity involved; it was my
cross-circuiting to B that recovered them." McCoy then says "Wee, then thank pitchforks and pointed!"
TOS "The Paradise Syndrome": Kirk is thought (by the Indian
populace) to be a god when he emerges from the temple.
TOS "The Trouble with Tribbles": Someone said "Kirk may be a
swaggering, overbearing, tin-plated dictator with delusions of godhood, but he's not soft."
TOS "The Ultimate Computer": M5 says "Murder is contrary to the laws of man and God." Kirk saaystrom felt that such an act was an offense against the laws of God and man, and the computer ta ared his engrams also believed it."
TOS "The Way to Eden": Space-hippies search for the mythical
planet Eden.
TOS "Where No Man Has Gone Before": Gary Mitchell gets god-like powers and creates a "Garden on" on a desolate planet
TOS "Who Mourns for Adonais": Apollo journeyed to earth 5000 years ago from Pullox 4 and was wpped along with the other gods by the populace. Chekov says "Sorry, I've never met a god before" co says "Scotty doesn't believe in gods."
TNG "Who Watches the Watchers": Picard is thought to be a god by the populace.
26) THE FUTURE OF STAR TREK
26a) TNG SEASON 4 TIDBITS:
Some might consider the next two sections as
***** S P O I L E R S *****
so if you don't want to know *anything* about the upcoming episodes, skip to section 99. This is yoly warning!
We still have Lwaxana Troi, the Romulans coming back "in a big way", a Data story involving a romancd another in the series of Worf stories on the Klingon Home Planet.
Frakes will direct a third episode ("Drumhead"). So far he has done "The Offspring" and "Reunion". art has decided to follow in his footsteps and will direct the last episode of season four (it sud ie a good plot so he shouldn't really be able to make it a bad episode).
Wil Wheaton has left to pursue an education (UCLA). His character Wes has left for Star Fleet AcadeThey are looking for scripts (GOOD ones) to bring back Barclay, Lwaxana, Q, and Selar. Also, Deniseby wants back (permanently) but they can't find a way to do it believably.
"The Drumhead": (4/29 through 5/5) Guest stars Jean Simmons (Elizabeth Stoddard on the new Dark Sha as a Starfleet Admiral. Episode is a satire on the McCarthy trials. Directed by Jonathon Fraks
"Half a Life" (formerly "Civil Wars"): (5/6 through 5/12) Guest Stars Majel Barrett as Lwaxana Troihe Host" (formerly "Paradise"): (5/13 through 5/19) (instead of 4/29 through 5/5?) Bev Crusher tr ocure people of a deadly virus - when they don't want her to. Bev and Riker hit the sheets.
"The Wounded": (5/20 through 5/26) repeat
"Devil's Due": (5/27 through 6/2) repeat
"In Theory" (formerly "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do"): (6/3 through 6/9) Data story.
"Past Perfect": (6/3 through 6/9) Bev Crusher is forced to recall her life with Jack because of somernal (alien) pressure. This might just be another old title for "In Theory".
"Mind's Eye" / "Distant Relations": (6/10 through 6/16) The Enterprise mediates for two supposedly ng worlds without knowing that in fact they have joined forces against Star Fleet and the Federain Fatures Geordi heavily. "Redemption": (6/17 through 6/23) Season finale. Worf's discommendtin il b somewhat resolved, though this is a cliffhanger. It features Tony Todd (as Kurn), Jon Seue (a Alxaner), and Denise
Crosby (not as Yar!). Directed by Patrick Stewart.
26b) TNG SEASON FIVE:
(The following from Richard Arnold): Leonard Nimoy was presented with an idea for a ST:TNG two episode which was given a working title of "Return to Forever". The "official" word is that miwytrugh negotiations Nimoy's agent suddenly started asking for $1 million. Since, at the time, hebuge fr an average week's episode was $1.4 million (it's now $1.6 million), this was a clearlyunrasoabl deand. The script with Spock is still supposedly floating around somewhere. But the offiial"wordis tat Leonard is simply more interested in working on movies (mainly directing) tha he i in mking uest ppearances on TV. This was the news until late 1990. But now the latest rumrs saythat Nmoy wil be i the first two episodes of season five.
Wil Wheaton will be back for a few cameos as Wes in season 5.
Geordi MIGHT get married in season 5 (91-92).
Q MIGHT bring the Enterprise into the continuum if they use "Q and Order".
Frakes is supposed to direct another two or three episodes.
Apparently, TPTB are impressed with his work.
Gates McFadden and Brent Spiner each want to try their hand at directing.
There is the possibility of Nichelle Nichols showing up in season five as either Guinan's mothedaughter.
The Borg will also be back, but they have changed a little.
[speculation: my guess is that we get to see some other species that the Borg have stolen bodies froingon, Romulan, and/or Ferrengi; I *hope* the change is not that they have gained compassion
It now sounds like if they use the script they had for following up on the bugs from "Conspirac'll have to be pushed back to season five.
26c) STAR TREK 6: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY
Current plans are for a sixth TOS movie to celebrate the 25th
anniversary of Star Trek. They are trying to get it out by the end of 1991, but it might end up beileased in 1992. Filming will begin around the end of April. It's working title is "The Undiscoee ontry" (previously "The Infinite Voyage") and it is based on a story idea by Leonard Nimoy, wtha otofthe polishing done by Nicholas Meyer.
Director: Nicholas Meyer
Music by: James Horner (who did 2 and 3)
Producer: Ralph Winter
Executive Producer: Leonard Nimoy
ILM might be doing the FX (they just finished the storyboarding for it), but there are rumors tucas wants ILM to *not* accept any offers because he'll need them if "Star Wars I" takes off.
The three ideas that have been brought up (and shot down) for ST6 are Shatner's script, Harve B's (sp) "Academy Days" script, and Walter Koenig's script. The tabloids are spreading wild rumosaotSpock getting married, Kirk becoming a monk, and the rest of the regulars dying. More relialeinoraton says it features Klingons, Romulans, Saavik (not Robin Curtis), Sulu with command of is wn hip an will definitely be the last movie, and it will be written as such, although none ofthe egulrs wll de. It will be the last because if it flops, Paramount DEFINITELY won't put up th mone for TVII,and i it's good, they want to go out with a bang. But of course if it makes a lo of moey the'll betempte to make ST7.
They were going to film in Alaska, but that got axed due to
budgetary constraints.
They want to get Michael Dorn to play one of Worf's relatives
(possibly as Maug, Worf's natural father (there go the rumors about the lifespan of Klingons)), and re also talking about getting Whoopi to play Guinan. Other actors signed include Jack Palance, hitper Plummer, and Kim Cattrall (of "Mannequin" fame) with pointy ears. Sarek is in the film bt ar Lnad has not signed. Nor has Bibi Besch, as Carol Marcus is also featured.
The budget for ST6 is $45 million. The action will take place mainly on the Enterprise, and Kls will be heavily featured. It's written pretty much as a self-contained story.
Nimoy was more skeptical in February, saying "Paramount decided it wanted to rethink the projec think it, like a lot of studios, is re-evaluating what the marketplace is all about, what it shudmk and at what price. I'm waiting for a phone call from the Paramount people about the film."
26d) Creation is also planning a huge convention in California next year around the 25th anniversary (Sept 8, 1991). The cost is $163 if you want to sit within the first 10 rows all three days. Byn h first 10 rows, the price is $140.00. They have been taking orders for tickets for the lastfe mnts. The address is:
Creation
145 Jericho Turnpike
Mineola, NY 11501
26e) The cast of TNG have signed 6-year contracts and have the option of another year. After this, are to create TNG movies. Rumors are floating of a third series, either another generation *afe*TGor the years between TOS and TNG.
26f) Peter David's upcoming novel "Q-In-Law" (in which "Q goes
toe-to-toe with the one opponent he can't handle--Deanna Troi's mother" as he put it) sounds like itld be really good. The quotes I've heard from it sound excellent! It also sounds like it mightb i ast Star Trek novel.
26g) "Moontrap II: The Pyramids of Mars" began filming in December.
Walter said contract negotiations are still going on, but he's pretty sure he'll be in it. "Moontras a science-fiction thriller starring Koenig released ONLY ON VIDEOTAPE in 1988. It did pretty elfra video-only movie. "Moontrap II", however, will be released in the theaters.
26h) After ST VI, there would be the POSSIBILITY of TOS characters appearing, since the film series be once and for all over.
99) MISC TRIVIA
TOS: James Doohan is missing the middle finger of his right hand. It can be seen in brief shots (eslly in the early episodes). Whenever they needed to show Scotty's hands (like when he operated tetasorter) they had a stand-in and showed a close-up. ("Cut! All right, bring in the stunt hand."
TOS: Majel Leigh Hudec is Majel Barrett's real name. She took the name Barrett to fool NBC so theyd hire her for Christine Chapel (they never knew that the blond Majel Barrett was the same perso stebrunette whom they fired as Number One).
TOS: The Klingons and the Romulans had a trade agreement of sorts, for technology. The Klingons goaking devices (according to non-canon sources), the Romulans got Klingon warships (ref "The EntepieIcident") and warp technology (from non-canon sources). Also, there is some speculation (agai, oncaon that the BoP as seen in TSFS and TVH, plus several times in TNG, was originally a Romuln dsig.
TOS "The Man Trap": Spock says that Vulcan has no moon (when Uhura mentions romance). Some of the say it has one or two moons/sister planets.
TOS "The Devil in the Dark": Every 50,000 years the race of Horta all die except the one mother HorTOS "Balance of Terror": Neutral zone outposts 1, 3, 4, and 8 were trashed by the Romulan ship befoe Enterprise was able to engage (#4 was the one they saw get destroyed on the viewer)
TOS "The Tholian Web": The name of the Tholian commander who first attacks the Enterprise after Kirlost is Commander Loskene.
TOS "Wolf in the Fold": The names that the entity was referred to by were Jack the Ripper, Baratis,ac, Kesla, Mr. Hengist (and yes, that was John Fiedler, the wimpy guy from the Bob Newhart Show)
TOS "Amok Time": T'Pau was the only person to ever turn down a seat on the Federation council.
TOS "Amok Time": The episode where Ensign Chekov makes his debut (1st episode, 2nd season). "Catspas the one he was first filmed in, although this aired after "Amok Time".
TOS "The Menagerie": The ONLY doorknob seen in a Federation setting (ship or starbase etc.) was on oor to Christopher Pike's quarters, which was kind of ironic, since he's about the only person woCUD'T use a doorknob! :-) The door to Dr. Tom Lathom's house in "The Conscience of the King" asa ooknb, but may not be a Federation setting.
TOS "Plato's Stepchildren": The first inter-racial kiss on television took place between Kirk and U
TOS "The Paradise Syndrome": "He Has Walked Among Us" and "Paleface" were combined into "The Paradindrome", according to speculation by Allen Asherman and David Gerrold. Reportedly, only Gene Conke or sure, and of course he's been dead for about 15 years...
TOS "City on the Edge of Forever": If you want H. Ellison's original
script for "City on the Edge of Forever", look for a book called "Six Science Fiction Plays", editedoger Elwood. It's a paperback, published in 1976 by Pocket Books under the Washington Square Prs mrnt. It was distributed in the U.S. and Canada by Simon & Schuster.
I have no idea if it's still in print. If it isn't, check your local library, used book stores, anddealer's room at your next convention. There must be copies out there somewhere. According to lodsforeword, this was the first time Ellison's original uncut script was published. It's preceedbya enpage introduction that Ellison wrote especially for this book, telling his version of th trnsfrmaionof his script into what was eventually telecast. The book also contains these scrips:
"Sting!" by Tom Reamy
"Contact Point" by Theodore R. Cogswell and George Rae Cogswell
"Stranger with Roses" by John Jakes
"The Mechanical Bride" by Fritz Leiber
"Let Me Hear You Whisper" by Paul Zindel
("Sting!" is a movie screenplay; "The Mechanical Bride" is a teleplay; the others are stage plays)
According to the Star Trek Compendium:
Kirk: was in 79 TOS episodes
Spock: was in 79 TOS episodes + "The Cage"
McCoy: was in 74 TOS episodes
Uhura: was in 65 TOS episodes
Scotty: was in 61 TOS episodes
Sulu: was in 47 TOS episodes
Chekov: was in 33 TOS episodes
ST: TMP: The oval things on the belts were originally supposed to be biorhythm devices. In the novelon of ST:TMP, the little oval things are described in a footnote. They are called "perscan" devcsadare used to monitor crew members life signs from sick bay. Only the CMO gets to see the capai'spescn output. According to the footnote, the lower abdomen is supposed to be an ideal locatin fr amedcalscanner. Making it into a belt buckle seemed the obvious way to integrate it into te Flet uifors.
>From "ST4: The Voyage Home", a storyline cut was a bunch of lines which indicated that Saavik was pnt. When they started running out of screen time, these scenes were cut, since they were not eseta o the main story in the movie. Of course, this means that, officially, IT NEVER HAPPENED. :)
ST5: Yes, the marshmallow (or rather "marshmellon" (read the book)) dispenser used by Spock in the ire scenes was available from Kraft for a number of proofs-of-purchase when the movie came out. I ol hold several marshmallows and dispense them one at a time. I think the end credits for themoieevn aid "Kraft--the official marshmallow of ST5" or some such thing.
There's no real explanation as to why the Klingons have spiny foreheads in TFS and TNG but not in TOene says "they always looked like this" and we're supposed to ignore the lack of the pizza bats ntefreheads in TOS. Theories outside of Gene run from genetic engineering to "several races of ligos"
According to FASA the prime directive states: "As the right of each sentient species to live in accoe with its normal cultural
evolution is considered sacred, no Star Fleet personnel may interfere with the healty development ofn life and culture. Such interference includes the introduction of superior knowledge, strength,o ehology to a world whose soceity is incapable of handling such advantages wisely. Star Fleet eronelma not violate this Prime Directive, even to save their lives and/or their ship, unless thy ae atin toright an earlier violation or an accidental contamination of said culture. This dirctiv taks prcedece over any and all other considerations, and carries with it the highest moral bligaion."
TNG is shot on film in the studio. Final editing is done via video.
The film shooting is done for quality purposes...you get better pictures and sound by using film. Tdeo editing is done for practical purposes...it's fast and (relatively) cheap.
TNG: The main viewscreen in supposed to be 3-D. When you see a side view of the bridge crew lookinghe screen, the view on the screen is a side view (like the sides of faces when talking with peope.
TNG: People keep asking about the weird production schedule. Why do we keep getting breaks of repehen it isn't summer yet? A lot of shows (especially the hour-long ones) go to repeats around Deebrad March.
The average episode of TNG takes about ten days to film. They start well before the season begins, hey wouldn't be able to keep ahead for the entire season. So while we're watching the December eet,they're trying to get a few episodes ahead of the viewers again!
TNG: ILM did the "Encounter At Farpoint" FX and a bunch of stock
footage. They NEVER did the bulk of the effects work. They are
credited at the end of the show because their stock footage (which means shots of the Enterprise flyy, etc.) is still used. I noticed in TBOBW2 that the Enterprise fly-by looked a lot better, so ab h TNG folks have ordered new stock footage from their special effects people (The Post Group,I thnk.)
According to the fourth season ST:TNG Writer's Technical Manual, when the Enterprise separates, onlybattle section has warp capabilities (earlier we were told that the saucer could only go as fasta apfour).
TNG: Data isn't supposed to be able to utter any contractions, though he seems to be speaking sometawfully close. Perhaps his "I have"s and "I am"s are just being spoken rapidly enough so they sudlk "I've" and "I'm".
TNG: In "The Battle" Deanna Troi says of the Ferengi ship captain
Daimon Bok, "Captain, I sense considerable deception from Bok and
danger"; in "The Price", Deanna's powers help against the Ferengi; in "Menage a Troi" the Betazoid Aador says "We betazoids are
uncomfortable around the Ferengi, whose minds we cannot read"; which was collaborated in "The Loss".a also started to explain once why he suspects that Betazoids can't read Ferengis: "Perhaps it i eas the Ferengi brain is separated into four..." So two episodes claim Betazoids *can* read Feeni ins nd another two claim they *can't*...
The only explanation that could really account for this is that *Deanna*
is able to (at least partially) read Ferengi minds because she is only part Betazoid.
There are *tons* of anime references (far too many to list here) in TNG, from the names of ships andn races to the scribblings on the wall.
Rick Sternbach and others are big fans of "Dirty Pair" and other
japimation. There are also reference to other SF shows; "4077" shows up in sickbay a lot (Mike Okuda MASH fan).
TNG season 1: According to Marina Sirtis, during the first season the very small dressing rooms werked with "funny" identification. Hers was "Token Betazoid", Wheaton's was "Token Teen", Burton' a Ngro in Space", and Stewart's was "Unknown Shakespearean Actor" (after an early ST:TNG review.
TNG season 1: Dr. Crusher's orderly (ensign Freeman) was supposed to be gay (according to the scripter).
TNG seasons three and four: When Gates McFadden came back after her year leave, her hair was a bit l than The Powers That Be thought looked acceptable for a medical person. Gates didn't really watt e it cut, so she wears a wig. She has mentioned that her real hair can occasionally be "competlyunangeable" with just how curly it gets when wet (or sweaty).
TNG "Encounter at Farpoint": Lets get this straight, once and for all. What we have is a "Special rance by DeForest Kelley" in which he plays an unnamed officer who just happens to have the follwn rits/qualities:
(1) He is a retired Admiral from Starfleet Medical division
(2) He has a definite affection for starships named 'Enterprise'
(3) He is 137 years old, which is (in the eyes of the Federation) an exceedingly long Terran life sphich could be explained,
possibly, by carrying the spirit of a Vulcan around inside him for
an extended period of time
(4) He has a pronounced aversion to the use of transporters
(5) He has an unusual reaction to Vulcan-style logic
(6) He just happens to look, walk, talk, act, and in every other
conceivable way behave exactly like Leonard 'Bones' McCoy :-).
Given these criteria, we can only logically conclude that this was, in fact, not Leonard McCoy, but r some little known Admiral who would have no special meaning to anyone watching Star Trek, but eevdfour minutes of an episode devoted to him. :-)
TNG "Where No One Has Gone Before": The UFP has explored 11% of the galaxy.
TNG "Where No One Has Gone Before": After the Enterprise jumps
2,700,000 light years it is mentioned that it will take 51 years for a message to get back to SFC vispace, and that it will take the Enterprise 300 years to get back. There next jump takes them oe ilion light years away.
TNG "11001001": Binary 11001001 is decimal 201, and 2:01 kept showing up on displays.
TNG "Home Soil": You can hear in the background "Three[?] are trapped in a turbolift and two[?] areped in the programmers' bathroom."
So, I guess we have proof that there are restrooms on the Enterprise-D (as well as the two referencethe movies (on the Excelsior, and Kirk in the Brig in ST5 ("do not use in spacedock")) as well a h n you can't really see in "Q-Who" when the Borg slice up the Enterprise).
TNG "Skin of Evil": No, contrary to the rumors, you can't see Troi's bra in this episode. What peoere seeing was a shadow (and with the flasing red light, it appeared red).
TNG "The Royale": The scene where Data was shooting craps seemed to be lifted right out of "The QueTapes". In both cases, the andriod and his companion(s) needed some quick cash, and so they pla ttecraps table. In both cases, the android placed the dice in his hand and applied the correctprssretorebalance the dice, thus altering the odds.
TNG "The Defector": Yes that was Stewart as one of the King's men with Data on the holodeck. The oman was NOT Frakes, however.
TNG "Q Who": The general consensus is that it *was* Spiner playing the part of Borg#1. There is noen credit, however.
TNG "The High Ground": "He Has Walked Among Us" was reportedly a minor inspiration for "The High Gr, albeit uncredited (this coming from a Creation con). "THG" was one of those supposedly conceivddrn the strike as a possible filler (a la "The Child"), and the use of the older TOS script ("Te ardie yndrome") would have made it acceptable under
the union crap edicts.
TNG "Up the Long Ladder": No, that is *not* Eddie Murphy as one of the clones, though it does look like him.
TNG "Deja Q": Q gives his IQ as 2005.
TNG "The Nth Degree": Barclay estimates his IQ to be between 1200 and 1450.
TNG "Yesterday's Enterprise": A lot of people seem to be having trouble understanding the time travvolved in this episode (and cluttering up the net every few months because of this). I'm not th eta explaining these sorts of things, and if anyone else can in less space, feel free to email e. Aywy.. in "YE" they start out in the "peaceful" timeline (PT) indicated by the top line in th digra beow.When the Enterprise-C broke through the barrier, it changed history as we know it (fom te tie ofthe attle onward) to a more hostile one (in which the Klingons are at war with the Fd andTashaneverdied)
When they sent the Ent-C back through the rift, it fixed whatever went wrong with the Klingons/Feder, and restored the timeline to the one we know (including Yar being dead at the hands of the sliebatin a Glad Bag). So no, Yar isn't still alive these days. And also no, Yar didn't "never exstan tuscouldn't have died due to slimey".
*Everything* we know about the time before "YE" happened exactly as we saw because sending the alterYar back repaired all the damage to time.
Tasha dies

Tasha doesn't die
TNG: Dr. Selar appeared in "The Schizoid Man" and has been mentioned in
"Yesterday's Enterprise" (paged in background) and "Remember Me" (Bev can't find Dr. Selar or Dr. Hi
TNG: The storage capacity of the Galaxy Class Exploration Cruiser is 125,575,500 terabytes, 1 terabeing 1 quadrillion bytes, according to FASA's (non-canon) Star Trek TNG Officer's Manual. In th wnith century, a terabyte is still 10^12 bytes (one trillion).
TNG: Data is NOT Asmovian and does NOT obey Asimov's Laws of Robotics. The only connection is that has a positronic brain.
TNG: In a War of the Worlds episode ("Thy Kingdom Come"), there is a kid playing with action figurene of them is in the likeness of Yar, Data, Picard, or Riker and he mentions something about Ferni
TNG: Captain Garrett's crew took the E-C to glory at Narendra III, which was NOT Khitomar (the planere Worf's father and mother died).
TNG: In the opening credits (and occasionally in the same shot during the show) you can see a man wg by the large vertical windows of the ready room. It is the slow flyby of the Enterprise (fromlwrlft to upper right) after all the quick flybys. There are large windows just beyond the bumpinth sucr section, and if you look closely (and it helps to have a giant screen TV) you can see ma wakin frm left to right past the windows, then someone walking from right to left behind him NOE: I's hrderto catch it with freeze-frame since pausing a VCR loses half the resolution, so ust wtch i at nrmal peed a few times until you figure out where on the ship you're supposed to b lookig.
TNG: Paramount has confirmed that the bar on the enterprise (with its "Whoopi cushion") is non-alco.
TNG "Ensigns of Command": The original script called for Data to have sex with the leading lady in to get her cooperation later. This idea never made it through the first draft. Gene's reason o rping it: "Only a human male would use a woman like that"...
TNG "The Schizoid Man": Shots of Genesis, Yar, "Encounter at Farpoint" scenes, etc. in Data's psych.
TNG "The Naked Now": When Data was looking through records, we see a parrot with nacelles which wasn-joke ("The Great Bird" = Gene)
TNG "The Neutral Zone": There as a family tree for Clare Raymond (one of the 20th century frozen pe. When they created the tree, they populated it with members of the cast and characters from ote hw (MASH, Giligan's Island, etc.) I think Riker was married to Picard.
TNG: Mike Okuda and Rick Sternbach have said that they still use
models, not computer-generated ships. Richard Arnold has said they haven't used the captains yacht se low bid for it is something like $50,000. Though according to Mike Okuda they've stretched teevlpe on this so far that it's now pretty cost effective to throw in new ships (witness the Kligo cuier. Even the leap into warp space is non-computer-generated. It is an incamera job usingsli scnnig.
TNG is now available on video tape. It is the first series *ever* to be available while still in fiun. It is through the CBS Video Club (Cutsomer Service number is (800) 457-0866). The only real a hing is that the copy of "Encounter at Farpoint" is the two one-hour version (which has scens isin ad other scenes re-ordered from the original single two-hour broadcast).
TNG was not broadcast in Dolby for the first three seasons. There was out-of-phase-but-equal-amplituuff in the ST:TNG soundtrack, which your Dolby Stereo decoder recognizes as "rear channel informto"
They mostly put the ship's noise (a low thundering sound of the engines) on the rear and some times ships pass by or shoot. Starting with the fourth season, TNG *is* in Dolby Stereo.

just a few tidbits from the Austin con that took place yesterday.
All of this is from memory ...
There was a tribute to Star Trek in the form of a slide show. A slide
came up with Judson Scott (Joachim in STII) and it was said that he was
Kahn's son. (I don't remember who was doing the slide show)
Info from Eric Stillwell (one of the authors of "Yesterday's
Enterprise")
Fifth season:
they are just starting to work on the fifth season. No details except
Q will be back as well as Troi's mother.
Eric made some comments that basically said the novels are not canon.
He did not use the word canon but that is what he meant. Richard
Arnold was mentioned in passing as the guy who "checks" the novels
out.
Marina Sirtis and Jonathon Frakes:
Marina would like her character to do more than just say "He's hiding something". She said that sht found out that Troi is a Lt. Commander but there is no place on her uniform for the pips. She ol lo like to be in command of the Enterprise for an episode.
The reason Whoppi Goldberg doesn't appear more often is due to all the people that want her for moviShe apparently isn't getting paid that much for ST and does it because she likes it.
Whoopi is in ST VI.
Marina said that there will be a Star Trek VII but it will have the TNG cast in it.
The reason K'ehylr was killed off was to provide some character growth for Worf. Also they said theon that Alexander (Worf's son) didn't stay on board was so they could have a show about him late.
And once again the TOS TNG connection was brought up. But now mention was made of having William Sh on a TNG episode as well as Nimoy!
Of course there are money considerations.
Marina also said there is some resentment from the TOS cast toward the TNG cast because the TNG casts more money. No names were
mentioned. The resentment has been decreasing.
Both Jonathon and Marina enjoyed giving each other a hard time. Jonathon made comments about body oi alien lovers.
The question of romance between Troi and Riker and Bev and Jean-Luc
came up. Everyone would like to do it but it's up to the producers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
They also went into costs... The $1000 per phaser-shot figure was
brought up as well as the $1.3million per show.
Basically it was an interesting delve into what he thinks about
the series, I would recomend it to anyone who is curious about
where his ideas/attitudes come from.
For those of you who don't know the American Humanist's Association
(AHA) is a group which is interested in approaching the world and
philosophy in terms of the scientiffic method, and/or in a non-theistic
way. That is not to say that all humanists are atheists (take Roddenberry for example), but rather they do not place religious doctrins/concerns above those of humanity. The president of the AHA i sa simov.
For information about the humanists or "The Humanist" magazine
use the following address:
AHA
7 Harwood Dr. PO Box 146
Amherst, NY 14226-0146
or call: (716)839-5080
(I hope that peopple are not too put off by my including this, but
I wanted to make sure people knew where/how to find out more
info on where to get "The Humanist", and also what the AHA is,
since many people would want to know before buying one)
Subject: Miami Trekfest Convention Report
Miami's Trekfest convention featuring Michael Dorn as the guest was today.
Interesting notes that Mr. Dorn shared with the crowd :
STVI _will_ deal with the Klingon-Federation peace treaty in some way
Mr. Dorn will _not_ be in STVI in any way.
The last TNG episode for the season will be about Worf's discommendation and (surprise) will be a clnger. (But, then again, we already knew this ...)
TNG will run until six seasons have been filmed and then it's movie time. This isn't official as inracts are signed, but Mr. Dorn seemed pretty sure that is what would occur.
- Jonathan
PS : If Michael Dorn comes to a convention near you, GO SEE HIM !!
He's a great convention guest, really at ease and with the crowd !

Subject: Synopsis, "Half a Life"
WARNING: The following post contains spoiler information regarding this week's TNG episode, "Half a". Those not wishing to know what happens during the course of the show had better get off.
Lwaxana Troi is on board, and quickly takes a shine to Timicin, a scientist from Kaelon 2 who's on bto conduct tests critical to revitalizing his planet's aged sun. Timicin, surprisingly, takes asiet her as well, although not quite as strong as Lwaxana's.
Unfortunately, the test proves a failure, and he will not get another chance at one, for a few days , he is to turn 60; and on Kaelon 2, everyone who reaches the age of 60 kills him or herself in teRslution". Lwaxana is outraged by this fact, and when Picard makes it clear that he will not ntrfreinthe planet's local affairs, first tries to beam down herself and
then goes into hysterics until Deanna comforts her.
After Lwaxana and Timicin end up spending an evening together (and not particularly vertically, or ss implied), he tries to explain the custom of the Resolution to her. Unfortunately, she considestecstom barbaric, pure and simple, and despite valiant attempts by both sides, neither will chagethirviws. However, when Timicin's analysis of the failed test turns up some promising options hesudenl relizes that no one else has the
knowledge to carry on his work and possibly save his world, and requests asylum on the Enterprise.
B'Tardat, the Science Minister on Kaelon 2, is outraged, and sends up two warships to ensure that therprise cannot leave the system with Timicin on board. Timicin quickly finds that his decision s' seasy as he thought, for the planet below will not accept any further reports from him, so tht ve i h finds a solution they will not accept it. The final straw comes when his daughter Darabeas o bord o insist that he return--she cannot
bear the thought, she says, of him being laid to rest anywhere but next to her mother, and she is as of him.
Timicin realizes that he is not the man to forge a cultural revolution, and agrees to return to Kael Lwaxana, however, as a loved one, beams down with him to take part.
NEXT WEEK:
Alien parasite transplants and a love interest for Bev. We'll see...

Subject: Stewart reading and questions
I attended a reading of Mort D'Arthur by Patrick Stewart last night and after
the reading he answered some questions. Here is what he said:
The next generation cast were a part of NASA's 30th anniversary of space flight and he got to speak the surviving members of the Mercury crews.
ST:TNG stoppped filming 2 weeks ago and will resume this coming July for another season.
The cast has 2 more years on their contracts, it is Paramount's option to pick up the contracts everr.
He was asked if the Borg are coming back. He said that in discussions with Michael Piller, they bothed that it was left "open" if the Borg was totally gone from within Picard.

Spoilers follow concerning :
1) Star Trek VI
2) Does Denise Crosby come back
3) Remaining 4th season episodes
1) Star Trek VI
They didn't say much about the movie except:
a) All original cast -- including Sarak
b) It will be out in December
c) If there is a 7th movie, they don't know if it will be a
Next Generation cast one or not. They would like it to be.
2) Does Denise Crosby come back
Yes. But, she does not return as Tasha. Marina got a wee bit testy about the chance of bringing the cter Tasha back. She said over and over in a relatively loud voice "We killed her. We killed hertie he's not coming back."
3) Remaining 4th season (we were shown slides and given a quick synopsis)
"Can't Remember this episode's name"
Troi's mother falls in love (not just lust this time). They give her a new hairstyle. She looks diff.
"The Host"
Looks bad. Crusher falls in love with an ambassador that the Enterprise is transporting to some convn (or something). She falls in love with him but she doesn't realize the situation. The ambassadri arasite (the size of maybe 2 fists) that is living within the body of a man--a man which we ll icldig Bev, believe is the ambassador at first. The man (host) is dying. The ambassador needsanoherhos boy. Riker volunteers (or
perhaps is volunteered) to become the new host. Bev performs surgery to remove the embassodor from ost and place him into Riker's body. Bev is confused and goes to Troi for advice. Troi tells her oflo her `gut' instinct. Next we see Bev all over Riker.
"In Theory"
The actress who played George's wife in the T.V. series "Alien Nation" plays a character (I don't kno this new character is supposed to be on the show) who falls in love with data. The person desciigtis episode to us at the convention was one of the people who co-authors the scripts. He saidtht hi eisode would make Tasha jealous.
"Redemption"
They wouldn't talk about this one at all since it's the season finale. But, the Enterprise does go bo the Klingon home world. There are a lot of Klingons in this episode.
