<is the line bug still around> Okay... I just saw the Alternative Factor last night (the one with the parallel universes, Lazarus, the negative magnetic corridor --- ring a bell ?). It never occured to me before but: Why doesn't Kirk just kill the insane Lazarus ?? That way the identical particles can't meet. Even if you say that killing one kills the other (I'm not sure the part in the show where destroying one ship destroys the other really follows) wouldn't Lazarus rather be dead than "trapped for all eternity" ("all eternity" isn't that redundant and repetitive?) ellen bart
