xx <- two-footed bug stomp! Well, I didn't see the show on 5/16, but MTV has been showing *long* commercials for ST3, which shows *lots* of what I would call spoiler (teasers?) scenes. There is a scene where the crew sneaks on board the Enterprise dressed in civies, followed by a scene with the Enterprise pulling out of dock and the voice-over is saying "Someone is stealing the Enterprise!" They also show a scene with the Enterprise doing battle with the Klingon bird-of-prey; they show Chekov, with an obviously shocked look on his face, saying, "Shields on not operational, Captain", and the Klingon commander (played by Christopher Lloyd -- it's obvious even with the make-up!) then says "Fire!"; the next scene is of the Enterprise with the front half of the "disc" blown off! All of this, without any spoiler warning on the commercial! Talk about violating netiquette! :-) Doug Burton ATT-CP Indianapolis inuxg!burton
