	Sure I do.. The amount of *trash* does not disprove
	the presence of good directors and crew to make it worthwhile.
	You are right about holywood. That is why I think it should be
	a tv series again. (wishful thinking eh ??)

	So far, I have read just about anything from Brunner, 
	Lem, Asimov, Clarke, Sheckley, Farmer, Pohl,
	Ellison, Niven, A.D. Foster, P.K. Dick, Hogan, R. Forward,
	D. Adams, and few more. What do you think ?? Just a passing
	interest eh ??
	Also read all the ST books RELATING
	to the actual episodes.. I was merely suspicious about those
	for which there is no episode..

	You may be right.. I will look more closely in my next visit to
	the bookstore..

	Because, none of the alternatives offer as much.. The day
	they can come up with a SF series that will fill the niche
	without serious defects (characters, plot, hardware, creative
	speculations etc.), I may change my mind. So far, nothing..
	Just like COKE. Do not change a well-loved formula, unless
	you have to..
