I'm glad somebody besides me remembers that series. I have all but one or two on tape. For a cheapie animated it was farly interesting.

That was a DS9 episode? Can't seem to remember that one...can you give me a thumbnail of the plot?

Sadly, I missed most of that. Hope there's a DVD in the future... Cheers,

The Keeper (of too much crap!)

The Defiant is transporting the Orb of Time, together with Arne Darvin who has spent some time with Klingons. The ship is thrown back in time and finds itself near Space Station K-7, during the events of "The Trouble with Tribbles". Arne Darvin is the same Darvin from that episode, only 130 years older. He is attempting to correct his failure by killing Kirk. The plot revolves around a bomb inside a tribble which is timed to explode just as Kirk discovers the grain hold has been contaminated by tribbles.

Through clever special effects, the cast of DS9 interact directly with the original Star Trek cast. Bashir and O'Brien are even in the line-up of officers who are reprimanded by Kirk for the punch-up in the mess hall. Most of the time you can't see the join!

It is a very good episode indeed. There are a lot of in-jokes - the two investigators are called Dulmer and Lucsly, which are anagrams of Mulder and Scully; Bashir states "I'm a doctor, not a historian" and Worf explains the fact that the Klingons look so different as "a personal matter" which is "not discussed with outsiders".

I watched the remade bsg on the network last week and I think they should find all the copys of the film/tape, load it into a payload on a good rocket and fire it into the SUN, never to be seen again.

I had to dig out one of my true BSG tapes and watch them to clean my mind of that other crap.

Did you watch them in your leisure suit? Go out to the disco afterwards? Grow up, guy. Richard Hatch did.

Getting back to topic, why in hell does every release of a modern US jet have to have CAG or ANG billboard markings? What I want is a faded plain jane with mission markings and a stained gun port.

Second. It's a war machine, not a marketing tool.

The manufacturers obviously feel they can sell more of a colourful bird than a plain jane, but I know how you feel. It takes some ingenuity to put something other than a Hemi in your Mopar car models.

Yes, actually. Your old pals Lindberg put out '64 Dodges and Plymouths with Slant-6s. You have to find the Dodge kit for the '330' and the Plymouth for the Belvidere models. There are other similar kits that are mostly dragsters. Way back in '62 Revell did kits of the entire Chrysler line and the Valiant and Lancer kits had 6s. They're a bit hard to find now. Ertl re-released the Deora custom a few years back (10?) and it came with a 6. You didn't ask but Lindberg put out the old IMC "Little Red Wagon" around the same time as the cars and it came with a 273 for the stock version as well as the required Hemi for the dragster. I'm not up on the aftermarket stuff so someone more knowledgable will have to jump in there.

I thought that that was Jo-Han. When did they do the Chrysler run?

Revell did their '62s in '62. First out were solid colours then they came up with the metalflake idea. The car was moulded in a translucent coloured plastic with little flakes of metal within. The idea was to paint the insides so that the colour would show through. It was an interesting idea but didn't work well because of chassis mounting posts and places on the body where one couldn't get to with paint because of the thickness of the mouldings.

JoHan did '62 Dodge Dart 440s, Chrysler 300s and Plymouth Furies. AMT did Imperials and Valiants. Revell was the only one to do the Lancer. Also, Revell's Dart 440 was a 4-dr. hardtop where JoHan's was a regular

2-dr. Revell's Chrysler was a Newport convertible. I never had or saw one but I believe the Imperial was a 4-dr. also.

Yes there is. I saw the DVD of it at my local Wally-World for $10.00 last Saturday. The movie ran to the point where Apollo and Serena had just gotten married and the sun of Cobol just became visible. I forget though. In the original series, where these vessels FTL (Faster than light, not Fruit of the Loom 8-D)?
