About Spock's core dump:
I believe the point we're missing, but which is a little better-explained in
the novel, is that McCoy was "prepared" to receive Spock's kaatra.  In other
words, the core-dump did not occur exactly at "REMEMBER", but, rather, right
at Spock's death--Spock knew where his Kaatra was to be placed.  Upon death,
that's where it went.  By the way, considering us humans don't go moving our
kaatras around, I wonder if anyone has considered the possibility that only
Spock' Vulcan half was retained in the McCoy core dump.....that would make
a heck of a change in Spock's character for ST4..(half of his personality
missing, human denial gone, etc...)

About Enterprise destruct:
Two separate articles in ?? newspapers said reps from all 3 networks wre
trying to convince Star Trek's hierarchy to go back to a regular TV series.
and the Enterprise model was megabuck expensive for special effects filming,
and the last two movies have been produced through Paramounts TV division,
could this indicate a possible return to TV???  I mean, there are certainly
several clues which suggest this.........Any comments???

The Mysterious Klingon line-eater stole a line from my note about Star Trek's
future on TV.  

What I was saying was that, considering the Enterprise bridge did not fit
well on the small TV screen compared to the big screen, (particularly the
viewing screen), and that the Enterprise model was expensive for SPFX filming,
etc. Could this possibly indicate a return to TV at some point??
