George Takai is in town for a ST Convention in Baltimore this weekend (Cockeysville, to be exact). In a brief telephone interview on a Washington, DC radio station he said that the next film (STIV) will be "much lighter in tone -- more fun" than the last two. He gave examples of "fun" episodes: The Trouble With Tribbles, Shore Leave... The announcer commented on how his wife was so upset after the last film (first the Beatles break up... now they burn the Enterprise!). Sulu said something to the effect that after STII people thought Spock was gone forever and that you can do lots of things in sci fi. -- Fred Avolio {decvax,seismo}!grendel!avolio 301/731-4100 x4227
