Proof?
1. Obi-wan told Yoda that there was "another". He wasn't referring
Leia, as she'd received no training. Besides, you don't think
that it was actually *Yoda* hwo lifted the X-Wing out of the
swamp, do you?
2. Listen to Kosh's speech. Clearly some form of translation
device (probably salvaged from C3PO's carcass) has been
installed in the encounter suit.
3. With a suitable power-supply and enough spare-parts, Kosh/R2
would understand the concept of immortality.
I rest my case.

And yet at one time, she felt she was being shafted in ST:TOS, too! In

ready to quit the series and that it was only because of something
Martin Luther King told her that made her stick it out...

I expect my 10 tapes of ST:TNG to get lots of use during the dreary TV
days of summer. I actually watched ST:V's "Cathexis" again last night
(to make sure I wanted to keep a copy) and really enjoyed it. Since
then, however, the episodes weren't worth watching the first time, had
there been anything better to watch during UPN's time slot for ST:V...

MW "I got to admit it doesn't bother me much if I miss an episode.
MW "However, I like the character of Neelix. He injects a bit of humor
MW "and common sense into an otherwise unexceptional show. Likewise the
MW "doctor. The stories themselves do seem to be same ole, same ole.
I wouldn't complain about Neelix if he didn't seem to always be employed
as Barclay was in TNG. Of all the characters, I find the holo-doc the
most interesting. Perhaps it's because he seems to be more of an "adult"
(even though he's probably quite childlike when it comes to
understanding the human condition) than the rest of the crew who seem to
be fresh out of the academy and just barely beyond puberty. I really
dislike how demographics is having such a profound effect on TV...

GW "CREATION REVIEW 1995: THE TROUBLE WITH R'NOLD!
GW "By GARY L. WARREN
GW "While USA Network has canceled TEKWAR, a Canadian network is
GW "considering producing more episodes.
Hmmm... I must be a prophet! :-) A couple weeks ago, after noticing we
were not getting any new episodes, I commented here that it was as if
USA had cancelled the series without telling anyone!
While the whole idea of Tekwar was a bit like reinventing police story,
the series was getting good toward the end. I especially liked the ep in
which Lt. Winger was in danger of not being allowed to recharge his
circuits (effectively killing him, if that term could ever apply to a
robot). I guess we should have known something was wrong when they wrote
Jake's partner out of the series and replaced him with an attractive
female...
I simply can not believe that Tekwar wasn't one of USA's bigger draws!
With all of their crummy B movies, can they actually be so picky? What's
more likely is that Tekwar just cost more than it was bringing in. This
does not bode well for original sci-fi on TV, if a cable company like
USA can't make money on it...

I personally think Sliders was a much better show than VR5, and would
