*** YOUR MESSAGE ***

Although I consider myself a fan, I've only seen two or three of the
animated episodes.  I've started watching them (actually taping them) on
USA Network, so my reactions are fresh.

I saw "The Lorelei Effect" this weekend and was kind of surprised by the
ending.  Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Scotty had aged rapidly, a la "The
Deadly Years" and they couldn't find a way to reverse it.  They ended up
using the transporter to reconstruct themselves according to their old
patterns, which were stored in the transporter.

I know that this can of worms is one that we don't want to open again,
but I think that it's interesting that they actually did what we
discussed they could do.
