[rec.arts.startrek] TV Schedule and Episode information

mholtz@sactoh0.SAC.CA.US (Mark A. Holtz) (09/21/90)

I am getting sick and tired of the following message on r.a.s.:

"Does anyone know when Best of Both Worlds-Part 2 is going to be
aired?"

Well, I compiled the following schedule. Episodes 74-79 have been
confirmed by Mike Brown. Episode 79 is unconfirmed,, but I am fairly
sure it is going to be "The Reunion", because it has been stated
that Jonathan Frakes is going to be directing the fifth episode, and
that it will involve Klingons (see below). 

Anyways, to interpret the schedule . . . 

"Ep." - Episode Number
"Uplink" - Weekend of Satellite uplink
"Week of" - The Official Paramount Week of airing
"Pro" - Production number
"Title" - guess

Ep.   Uplink      Week of   Pro            Title
~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
74. 09/15-09/16 09/17-09/23 174 Best of Both Worlds (Repeat) 
75. 09/22-09/23 09/24-09/30 175 Best of Both Worlds (Part 2)
76. 09/29-09/30 10/01-10/07 178 Family
77. 10/06-10/07 10/08-10/14 176 Brothers
78. 10/13-10/14 10/15-10/21 177 Suddenly Human
79. 10/20-10/21 10/22-10/28 ??? The Reunion

The following is compilitation of information previously posted in
rec.arts.startrek(.info). While I have stipped out most of the
spoiler information, some still remains, so a control-L is in it's
place . . .

 <This is a Control-L>

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS PART TWO: Episode 75, Paramount #175 (filmed first), with
Elizabeth Dennehy, George Murdock, Colm Meaney and Whoopi Goldberg. The second
part of the Borg saga, dealing directly with the Earth and Starfleet's defense.
Look for exciting space battles and great FX of the Borg trying to take over
earth! Written by Michael Piller. Directed by Cliff Bole.

Here's what Richard Arnold (generally) said about the season opener (without
giving away details) at Timecon '90. At the end of the teaser, you're going to
be freaked. At the end of the first act, you're going to be pulling out your
typewriter. At the end of the second act, you're going to be pulling out your
gun and loading it. At the end of the third act, you'll begin to understand
where they're going with the episode, but you're still going to be mad. At the
end of the fourth act, you're going to understand better where they're going
with the episode, and you're going to be saying to yourself "do I go down to
the studio and burn it to the ground or not?". At the end of the fifth act,
you'll understand. Incidentally, the "Best of Both Worlds" title was chosen to
confuse the audience.

FAMILY: Episode 76, Paramount #178 (filming fourth). *Indirectly* a third part
of the Borg episodes, taking place on Earth. Location shooting possible at
Vasquez Rocks. Written by Ronald D. Moore.

BROTHERS: Episode 77, Paramount #177 (filming third). Heavily featuring Data,
this is rumored to be about him, Lore and Dr. Soong himself. Brent Spiner will
be playing all three roles. At the Orlando TrekFest, Jonathan Frakes described
how Brent played Dr. Soong as a cross between Jimmy Steward and Grocho Marx.
Written by Rick Berman (the Exec Producer's first teleplay).

SUDDENLY HUMAN: Episode 78, Paramount #176 (filming second). A story about
child abuse. Written by Jeri Taylor.

THE REUNION: This is the second episode which Jonathan Frakes directs. It's
filled with more Klingons, and one of them happens to be K'mpec. This may see
some resolution of Worf's problem back with "Sins of the Father"

Incidentally, Worf's other girlfriend, K'Ehleyr, will be returning "much to his
chagrin" with a little surprise for him.  (As in the pitter-patter sound of
little Klingon feet around the bridge)
