Some stuff I grabbed from the old folder, while I've got a little time:

<< let me say that it's possible that if we were to see lots of athletic males in Trek, we just might turn off a major demographic -- young males. Showing women is okay, by comparison, because -- or so say the pop articles on stuff like this -- girls like to "dish" (whatever that means). I'm just throwing out some ideas here.>>

This has never been a factor in our casting or story decisions. Nor will it be.

Ruby and I try to go when we can. We have tickets for "Rent" when it comes to LA later this year. My favorite play of the last few years was "Arcadia" by Tom Stoppard, and if you ever get a chance to see or read this fascinating and brilliant work -- run, don't walk.

As far as I know, you can't get a copy of Maurice Hurley's script (which I think had a different title than "Generations"). Also, the 6th season version of "All Good Things..." never got past the story stage, so there is no script.

The phasing cloak had a lot technical problems in its development which cause explosions on both the Pegasus and a Romulan ship working on the same device. This would seem to indicate that the phasing cloak still has a lot of problems despite the Enterprise's desperate use of it at the end of "The Pegasus."

I'm in the middle of switching from Microsoft Word 5.0 (with Scriptor style sheet) to Scriptware. Word 5 is a dinosaur that no one seems to be using anymore except here in the antiquated Hart Building (where the computers aren't even networked together yet). Scriptware has some kinks here and there, but it's a huge improvement over Word and I think we'll all be using it before too long.

It's nonsense.

Our feeling is that Ziyal was kept out of public view during the Cardassian Occupation as was her mother since it would've been politically incorrect for Dukat to have a Bajoran family at that time.
