o A net.startrek survey.  The outcome:  Favorite character is Spock, with
  14 votes out of 39.  Kirk is a very close second, with 13 votes, and Scott
  is third with 10 votes.  Favorite episode is "City on the Edge of Forever,"
  with "The Trouble With Tribbles" and "Balance of Terror" the runners-up.

o Lots of traffic on appearances of ST stars in other TV shows and films.
  Followed by some notes on double appearances of guest stars (playing two
  roles) within ST.  It happened many times.

o The Enterprise's port of registry is noted on a plaque beside the bridge
  elevator.  Her home port is:  San Francisco.

o A teaser reel for ST3 was shown at MassConFusion.  Selected details of the
  five minute extract are given.  This will be an AWESOME movie.

o The energy barrier at the galaxy's edge, in "Where No Man Has Gone Before,"
  is neatly explained away in Diane Duane's "The Wounded Sky."  Inconsistency
  discussed in 2 other episodes where the Enterprise left the galaxy.

o Animated Star Trek, the Sat. morning cartoons.  22 episodes were made in 
  1973-74.  Worth watching; compares favorably to the original.  Includes 
  producers, authors, and voices of actors from the series.  NOT kiddie 
  cartoon dreck; it really IS Star Trek.  

o Lists of all episodes by title, with a brief plot summary.  Useful for
  novices.  One gives stardates for each episode.

o Debate on rank in ST2:TWOK, whether the person in command must use the
  rank of "Captain," even though he's an Admiral.

o A brief Star Trek film clip in a Kodak commercial is identified as being 
  from "The Squire of Gothos."

o Star Trek Trivia Quizzes:  an offer to post quizzes from a published book
  is argued down due to copyright flames.

o Three reactions to Spock's death, taken from the survey responses.

o Praise for the existence of mod.ber by a reader who would've missed an
  important (to him) notice last month.
