From: Alan R. Katz <KATZ@USC-ISIF.ARPA> Everyone is way off the mark on what the next Star Trek Movie will be about. This is what will happen: 1. They will team up with a mean looking Klingon who is really an OK guy, but intimdates everyone (remember the Klingons now have a bone down the top of their heads which sort of resemble a Mohawk). 2. McCoy decides he LIKES being thought of as crazy, for one thing he gets free room and board. The others keep breaking him out of the Loony Bin whenever they need him for something. 3. Sulu starts dressing up alot and becomes real good at being your standard con man type. 4. Kirk starts smoking cigars, and keeps saying "I love it when a plan comes together." 5. The whole Star Trek crew (except for Uhura, who's part in stealing the Enterprise remains undiscovered) are all wanted men, and decide to hire themselves out for protection and blowing things up, and... YES, ITS STAR TREK IV: THE "B" (movie) TEAM (a standard effect will be starships which hit an asteroid, flip over, and crash, then the crew all climb out and escape right before they blow up in a ball of fire...)

From: Wahl.ES@Xerox.ARPA I recently received the following from a reliable source, Craig Chrissinger o the Alpha Centauri Comminicator. Did anyone else hear about this press relese? About a week and a half ago, an OFFICIAL press release came out from Paramount revealing the basic plot for the fourth Trek film. Any other stories you hear are false. In the movie, Kirk and company receive a strange message from aliens. They find they cannot answer it without going back in time to 1985 for hands-on research. Both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the United States are involved in the story. The movie is said to contain "more humor than before." One of the highlights planned is a visit to San Francisco by Spock. But no one will notice his alien appearance! The major cast is back and Nimoy is again directing. However, there is no news on whether Saavik returns. I do know that Kirstie Alley is not in the cast. --Lisa Wahl Star Trek Welcommittee

The Star Trek Welcommittee is, of course, an unimpeachable source. But let us hope Paramount changes it mind before it's too late ... rjs
