o Request for role-playing game people in central N.J. to test new wargame 
  scenarios for "Star Fleet Battles."  Favorable review of FASA's "Star Trek" 
  RPG.  Inquiry:  does it include expendable extras to do all the dying?

o Prediction:  Kirk and Saavik will have a romance in ST3.  Quickly shot down;
  Jim's past his prime.  But probably David Marcus takes after his old man.

o Discussion of incidental music in ST episodes, particularly a flute piece 
  played as Kirk's love theme in "Shore Leave," and heard again in "This Side
  of Paradise," and "The Apple."  Is it by Debussy?  No.  Conclusion:  it IS 
  incidental music.  Also covered:  Uhura's song "Beyond Antares" (words by 
  Gene Coon), sung in "Conscience of the King," and hummed in "The Changeling"
  which gets her zapped by Nomad.  An inquiry:  any details on the fake Brahms
  piece from "Requiem for Methuselah"?

o Request for names of other starships.  Several answers from sources reliable
  and otherwise.  Most agree on 13 original Constitution-class heavy cruisers.

o Person thinks he saw an episode where Kirk and Spock first meet.  Wrong.

o Tail end of discussions:  The Ceti Eel (super-slug) in Chekov's ear in ST2;
  power of ship's phasers on planet surfaces.
