Message-ID: <1388@garfield.UUCP> Date: Fri, 6-Jul-84 14:06:55 EDT Article-I.D.: garfield.1388 Posted: Fri Jul 6 14:06:55 1984 Date-Received: Fri, 6-Jul-84 22:30:18 EDT Organization: Memorial U. of Nfld. C.S. Dept., St. John's Lines: 28 (=:* that green-blooded son of a *:=) Star Trek can never lower itself to a level with Star Wars -- it has one important element which Star Wars never had -- that being good acting and character development. ( Can you imagine Spock turning out to be Kirk's Half brother and Scotty their uncle? -- good grief! ) Netlanders here seem to be worried that if the Federation goes to war in Star Trek IV, we will have instant Star Wars. I don't think so. Why? -- Do you think that Paramount could afford it? Never-the-less, I DO want to see something to this effect -- don't get me wrong -- I don't want to see an all-out bloody confrontation -- but I do believe it is about time for some sort of skirmish ( with the gang involved, of course ) in which the final result would be lasting Galactic ( to the extent that it then exists ) peace and isn't that what we all want!? I hated E.T. too, A.K.A. Lt. Suvak. (not Saavik) *** BEAM ME UP, SCOTTY! ***
