*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** I don't know if anyone else noticed this inconsistency, but in the episode, "And The Children Shall Lead", Kirk brings those kids off the planet and posts two security guards at the outpost. Eventually the kids take control of the ship while Kirk is debriefing the two replacement guards down in the transporter room. The kids force the ship to leave orbit, Kirk makes a BIG deal about how the two guards will beam down and THEN the two that are already down there can beam up. The replacements are beamed down to empty space because the Enterprise is no longer orbiting the planet; Kirk is anguished. Kirk rushes upstairs, eventually defeats the Angel and the kids. He then has Sulu "set course for Starbase _____". I guess the two guards that are still on the planet aren't worth their weight in antimatter. -Ted Ives (astrovax,ihnp4)|dartvax|tedi or tedi@dartvax Does antimatter have weight?
