Paramount's official pre-order flyer lists Generations as being out on July 18.
If you heard July 11, then it might be coming out early. Disney did that last
year with Lion King on video - it came out a week before all the advertisements
in the media and video store prebook flyers said it would.

Hey, Allison! There is a national X-files echo already on the backbone. I
started the conference back in December. When I announced it, several systems
decided they would carry it, and with their help, it grew and grew. In early
April I got it onto Planet Connect, and by the end of April I had gotten enough
REC's to request the echo be put on the backbone that it finally made it!
(*That* was a happy day for me!) Now, there're about 4-5 dozen systems that
carry it off the backbone feed. Ask your sysop to bring it in it for you, the
tagname is "X-FILES".

Everything I've ever read about the demographics of Trek's viewership
suggested the vast majority of fans were males between the ages of 16 and 35.
That's why the vast majority of advertising is beer and jean commericials. If as
you suggest the audience was much younger they'd be advertising Power Ranger
action figures instead. Check your facts.

Frankly I don't find Chakotay and Janeway particularly youthful in their
appearance or their demeanor. Paris, Kim, Torres and Tuvok are fairly
youthful, or more accurately give that impression. Essentially this
means that we have three mature starship officers and four young adult
starship officers. I don't see the problem. The original crew was
every bit as "young". Only if you are using a Picard median would
Voyager's crew be described as barely post puberty.

Hi! I'd like to introduce myself, and I have some questions regarding
the rules for this echo. Since I need some info ASAP, I hope you don't
mind my asking them outright.
As the Sysop of ERIDU BBS (and still fairly new to Fido) I am trying to
obey the rules for each echo we carry as I learn of them. Several weeks
ago, I posted some info (about a guest ranch that I'd "discovered") in
some of the echos, but learned rather promptly that my postings were not
appropriate.
IF I post (or have posted) anything in your echo that was a violation of
the echo's rules... PLEASE accept my profound apologies now. Most of my
"corrective messages" have been very polite (thankfully) but not all of
them. And I don't particularly wish to go through anything like it
again (grin - I'm sure you can imagine).
I've made requests via our source for Fidonet for a complete listing of
the rules for each echo in Fido, but have yet to recieve anything. I
would like to make such a list available to my users (and to reference
myself for that matter). I will try to keep an eye out for the rules of
this (and other echos). I was wondering (and hoping) if you wouldn't
mind posting the rules in a message addressed directly to me? Once I
get them, I will begin compilation of a master list to make available
for download from my board.
I hope that this won't be too much trouble, and I'm also hoping that it
will also avoid improper postings from our users in the future. I
basically need to know 2 things: (a) If the use of an Alias (handle) is
ok for postings, and (b) what the rules for this echo are.
Thanks for your time and effort in advance!

That's because it's a syndicated show.

I would second that! Not only the original _Enemy Mine_ story (not the
movie adaptation), but I'd recommend picking up the related _Tomorrow

What happened to the good ole days when shows were given a chance. I
remember a little sitcom called Cheers (my favorite of all time) that,
in it's first season, was near the bottom in the ratings. We all know
what happened to that show, now don't we. :)
